One of the many nice aspects of pine trees is the pinecones they produce! Nature's own fascinating, sculptural design can add a nice outdoorsy element to your home.
Here are some creative decor ideas and I couldn't resist including the beautiful hand-printed cards featuring an original pinecone design wood cut by the folks at Ramshackle Press.

man, what is it with designers and putting pine trees next to open flames?
Pine cones are loaded with turpentine and burn like a torch when lit. Boy scouts use these things to start campfires. Don't do this.
*shakes head*
^Good to know, Alexander! It never ceases to amaze me just how knowledgeable those Boy scouts can be.
I love those pinecone cards.
