Front Porch Dressed for Fall

I have 3 porch areas…

…..2 back porches (upper and lower) and the front porch.

I dressed the upper back porch for Fall…

…..and today, I just finished dressing the Front Porch!

I made another trip to the Farmers’ Market…

…..for more pumpkins and mums!

I brought this stack of pumpkins from the back porch to the front…

…..as I had 2 great stacks of pumpkins there…

2013 Front Fall Porch

I believe the bottom 2 pumpkins are called “Fairy Tale Pumpkins”…

…..I loved the multi-colored mums in this pot..they were on sale.. 12” potted mums…3 for $10.00 !!!

I purchased the two paisley pillows last year .. on clearance at JoAnn’s…

    Very fall festive, Shirley. Love that little metal corn birdhouse. Wish we could get mums for those prices here in Colorado. I’ m just hoping mine make it through the predicted snow on Friday!

    Beautiful, Shirley! All of your mums are just gorgeous! It has been raining here for the past 4 days; so, I haven’t been able to do anything with the front porch, besides hanging the wreath. You have motivated me to get moving! The back porch was done weeks ago!

    Very pretty, Shirley, and very welcoming! I didn’t get any mums this year and am sorry I didn’t. I’ve seen some lovely gardens with the yellow and purple ones and it looks wonderful. I’ll have to plan ahead for next year.

    Your front porch is so beautiful, even before you dressed it, it is such a wonderful space, I so wish I had such a big porch, your dressing puts the cherry on top…It all looks so wonderful with the flowers and pumpkins, love the way you have designed the different areas…

    Hi Shirley- I’ve been missing your posts! Your porch looks awesome- great job. Love the pumpkin stack. I just bought one that looks identical to the bottom one on the table. I love wagons decked out like this- great job! I like your salt glazed pottery. We just came back from the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania. I wanted to stop at Eldreth Pottery- they make pots just like yours. I like that one with your name and year on it.

    Hello!
    Your front porch is gorgeous! I always have such ambitious to fix my porch like this and never seen to get far with my decorating due to such a busy life. But I still love to look at a inviting porch. I have a question. How do you keep your ferns looking so nice this time of year. Mine look horrible despite rain and watering.
