Fall Porch 2019
Hi friends! Today I want to do something a little odd; I want to share my fall porch from last year. Last year I got lots of pics because of my Instagram account but wasn’t blogging at that time so I thought I would blog it all for you now!
I can’t wait to start decorating this year! 2020 has been such a weird year and I’m looking forward to fall and all the beautiful, wonderful things that come along with it. I’m really hoping football is on tv. Mostly for the snacks and how it brings people together. Also, for me, having a football game on tv is extremely comforting to me. I don’t know why but I just love the sound of a game on. Nostalgia I guess.
Come take a look at our porch last year all decked out for fall.
Our porch looks completely different now. To see what I did click HERE.
I made these faux apple candles. Apples are faux, candles are not. 😉
In the summer we don’t spend a ton of time on our porch because our house faces west and it gets SO hot. But in the fall, we love to spend as much time out here as we possibly can.
I’ll show you a few shots of inside of our home as well.
I am already planning out my fall decor for this year. I’m leaning towards warmer colors like camels, oranges, greens, and of course I have to throw white in there as well. My porch will look completely different this year and I am excited to show you all in the near future. I have a project I want to complete this week that involves the porch. It will make it even more fun to decorate it for the different seasons.
September 1st it’s game on over here!
Thanks for stopping by!
Spring Front Porch Reveal
I am so excited to share with you all our Spring front porch reveal! Get ready for lots of pictures! I’ve been patiently waiting for warmer weather to arrive so I could go out and buy plants for our porch. This weekend was beautiful here and I think the higher temps are finally here to stay! Hopefully. Fingers crossed. You really never know with Kansas weather.
A blank slate.
After! Isn’t Spring an exciting time?! I always get excited to plan and decorate our porch with plants and accessories. This year is my most favorite I’ve ever done.
Last weekend I touched up our shutters and siding with paint. You can see on our siding here that the new paint sticks out. Eventually, as it gets dirty, it will blend in with the old paint. Just thought I’d explain in case you’re wondering what those dark spots are all over our siding!
I wanted to incorporate some pink into our front porch and did that by adding this awesome pink rug. You can see there is some navy in the rug too which helps it tie into our navy siding. It is screen printed and thin so works great here. I found it at Rugs USA for a great price and you can purchase it HERE.
Matt bought me these tall planters for Mother’s Day a year or two ago. Well I bought them and told him this was going to be my gift from him. 🙂 They are really heavy and really good quality. I bought them at a pop up greenhouse here in our town.
This macrame hanger was a Target find. I bought it on sale for $10. You can purchase it HERE. I just stuck a little succulent in it in the same plastic planter it came in.
Since the planters are so tall, I wanted a plant that was pretty tall as well so it would look proportionate. I was SO happy to find these plants at my local Home Depot.
This jute rug was an Amazon find. I knew it was the perfect one right away for my space! I was so happy I came across it! I haven’t found it to shed at all and it seems to be made very well. It’s a thicker rug. Unfortunately the price has gone up almost $15 since I’ve purchased it. Boo. You can find it HERE.
Somebody wanted to help mom water.
I found this watering can in the Dollar Spot at Target.This was back at the beginning of the year. I really like the gold handle on it.
This faux copper light fixture was a diy and is not hardwired in.
We are still LOVING our newly painted cement porch steps and floor.
Sweet Emmy.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
