Fall Front Porch 2017

by | Oct 13, 2017 | Fall, Home Decor

Last week I showed you the inside of my home all cozied up for fall, and today I’m going to show you my fall front porch.  You can see the last two years here and here.  Welcome, walk on up to our front porch!

Pumpkin + Mum + Something Extra = Perfect Fall Front Porch Vignette

This year I used my recent anniversary gift and filled that bronze bucket with a bunch of small pumpkins and gourds.  It’s my something extra this year.  I also love that it lets you know who lives at our house, with our name on the bucket.

Anyway, moving on from my deep parental thoughts this morning.  I hope you were inspired to put to use a simple formula for a Fall front porch.  What do you plan to use as your “something extra” in your decorating?
