The fall season is one of the best times of the year. We finally get to transition out of the sweltering summer months and begin to wind down with cooler weather and a host of approaching holidays. But if you’re new to your gorgeous Portland apartment, you might now know what there is to do in your area. Don’t fret! We’ve come up with some fun ideas that will allow you to make the most out of your in the Nob Hill Neighborhood of Portland!

Favorite Fall Community Spots

Nob Hill is a gorgeous and serene neighborhood to walk around in, but if you’re looking to support local businesses and keep yourself occupied throughout the fall, there’s plenty to do too! Are you someone who likes to grab a warm drink every once in a while to heat up their bones? One great business in the area is a small coffee joint called The Dragonfly Coffee House. If you’re someone who likes to cozy up with a good book, we highly recommend taking a trip to the New Renaissance Bookshop. There are plenty of adorable shops to help you nestle into the fall season with ease.

Enjoying the Neighborhood This Fall

Fall is a time of community living and connection. If you’ve recently moved and have found little time to slow down and get to know your surroundings, make it a point to connect with neighbors and see how you could otherwise get involved so you can meet new people and really get to know your neighborhood. See if there are community gatherings, holiday-themed parties, or other events you can use to learn more about your surroundings and become more acquainted with Nob Hill.

DIY Fall Wreath

A wreath is perfect to show that you’re embracing the fall season. It’s easy to make and install without leaving any damage or residue on your door.

Items You Will Need

  • Pinecones
  • Leaves and flowers of your choice
  • Hot glue gun
  • Hot glue
  • Gumballs
  • A wreath base

First, you can purchase a wreath base for cheap at a thrift store or art supplies store. You can pick up real leaves, flowers, pinecones, and gumballs around your neighborhood, or you can find them at the same craft stores as your wreath. First, glue leaves to the wreath and spread the other items around the wreath.

As a tip, arrange the items where you’d like them before gluing and taking a picture. This way, you can have everything in the right place before committing. Find a detailed guide on creating a perfect fall wreath here.

Pumpkin Centerpiece Out of Rope

This DIY trend is cute, quick, and easy. It can be used as the centerpiece of your dining room table or a pretty accent for your coffee table.

Items You Will Need

  • 10″ dried bamboo stake
  • Twisted manila or jute rope
  • Floral wire
  • Dinner plate
  • Hot glue gun
  • Hot glue
  • Farmhouse ribbon
  • Scissors

First, you will want to attack the bamboo sticks together and unfurl the rope. Coil the rope in a circular shape eight times before cutting off the end with scissors. Secure the rope ends with the floral wires. Use the floral wire again to secure the rope coil to the bamboo sticks and repeat. Once all of the ropes are secured in the center to the bamboo, glue a rope around the center to keep all of it together. Then tie a bow and attach it to the top of your masterpiece with hot glue.
