Homeowner Kayla Miller Even the staircase gets a fall touch with more gourds lining the steps. “I’m all about getting the look I want for less,” Kayla says. For her breakfast nook, the table she wanted cost $2,500. Instead, she sourced a look-alike for a mere $250. Homemade wood and chicken wire frames are decorated according to seasons.
