Cattails make a dramatic display - Cut them down to place in a vase on your mantle or table.
Leave them long and put them in a large vase in a corner of the room.
Add some of those feathery reeds you see along the side of the road.
You can also turn your bed at an angle in a corner of the bedroom and place your display in the corner behind it. Don't forget to coat the cattails with hairspray so they don't explode!
For another look - pick up some dead tree branches and spray paint them. Put them in a vase, alone or in an arrangement. Black is dramatic, but don't stop with black - experiment with different colors and coordinate with a set of dishes, a decorative pillow, a throw, etc.
Pinecones are plentiful now and look great in a bowl as a centerpiece. Add some acorns and nuts. Use individual pine cones as place card holders at your next holiday dinner.

HEY! Didn't I first bring cattails into your house?! That big group in the corner of the tv room? You should also warn against them exploding!
Remember to spray liberally with hairspray or some other fixative so they do not brek open and leave your house full of seeds!
Yes Mr. Zeed you did! A lovely arrangement in the corner of the room which I did not spray with fixative and later had seeds floating through out my home!
I did mention spraying it in the post.
and thanks for stopping by!
