I am sooooo excited to show y’all how I decorated our front porch for Fall! I’ve had some Fall decorating ideas floating around in my head for a while now, and it was fun to have it come to life! We don’t have a big porch or anything, but I try to make the most of it and I’m thrilled with how it came out. :)
I got that little wagon a few weeks ago when we went to a city-wide garage sale, and I snagged it right up and knew what I was going to do with it right away. I envisioned some hay in there, so I got the straw bales at Hobby Lobby. So cute! And that metallic pumpkin is from Hobby Lobby too and it’s the only fake one. The rest I got from a local nursery that’s AMAZING!
I stacked some pumpkins to make a pumpkin topiary on top of the big pots I already had.
They just stacked right on top of each other. Me and my mom hand picked the perfect ones so they were even. I considered spray painting them a metallic shade of something, but the orange was just so vibrant and pretty against the house…
Ack I love it!!
I hung up the garland using command hooks…
So easy and worked like a charm. I did double up the garland to make it thicker and more substantial, so there is a total of 5 strands of garland up there. And to connect the strands, I just used floral wire. Easy peasy.
The wreath I had from last year, but I just added some red leaves to it to blend in with the garland. The wreath was primarily yellow and orange before.
Now just enjoy the rest of the photos. :)
What do you think?! Sometimes I walk out of the house just so I can walk back in to check it out. But I also do that to make sure no one has stole my wagon or pumpkins. ;)
It’s so fun coming home though and walking up to our decorated porch. I think the Fed-Ex man was even impressed today, and that’s always a good sign. Now, if I could just get the little girl to stop picking up a pumpkin (or 2) on our way in or out of the house, all would be right in the world. :)
What have you done to your outdoor spaces for Fall? Anything yet? Better hurry and buy your pumpkins!
I’ll be sharing this post at Rhoda’s Door Decor party on Thursday. I’ll also be sharing this post at Tidy Mom’s I’m Lovin’ It Party, Between Naps on the Porch, Sarah’s Outdoor Party and Hooked on Houses Fall Party.
xxoo,

Hey, I’m new to the whole blog world and I am just discovering all these wonderful sites. You’re blog is one of my tops and for good reason I LOVE YOUR BLOG! You have such great ideas. Love your front porch it looks awesome. Do you by any chance know what font they used for your “welcome” I would love to tell my local sign shop so I can own one myself. Thanks for all your time you put into sharing to help give me good ideas as well! Happy Fall!

Hi Decor Chick! I’ve been an avid reader for over a year. That’s why when I received a little blogger award, you are one of the blogs I am passing it on to! It’s on my Rolo Cookies post today. Thanks for all your great ideas and pics!
karen@strictlysimplestyle says
My entry is so similar to yours that I can picture what mine would look like with an arrangement like yours. Thanks for the inspiration!
diane says
great job….looks like something right out of BHG…stand back Martha Stewart!
Decorchick! says
Haha not quite, but thank you anyway! :)
Eileen says
It looks great Kim. That wagon was a great find. How much fun will that be to seasonally decorate? I love the plant too, perfect colors. Awesome job!
Sarah Y says
I know it is not specifically part of your fall decor but I love that “welcome” decal on the door! (and the pumpkin topiaries!) Nice Work.
Tardevil says
Looks great. Like the door mat, too. You should give your little one some of the fake pumpkins (like at Dollar Tree) before you go in/out the door so her hands will be full and she can’t pick up the real ones; plus, they won’t splat. ;o)
Rose says
VERY NICE! I LOVEEEE the black door! It makes it really pop! Great job!
Myra @ My Blessed Life says
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Love the wagon!!
Renee @ Living, Laughing, & Loving says

That is one stunning front porch. Doors being decorated like during the fall exudes a country style look. I was really amazed at the beautiful fall wreath.

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my
apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Mark G. Worster says
The porch looks great! What I love is that you took the time to hand pick the pumpkins so that they matched, it was a nice touch!
