Happy Thursday guys! I’m so excited to share my fall porch with you this season, and it’s extra special because this year, I grew all my own pumpkins! Decorating for fall is always a bright spot in October because fall is my favorite season and I finally get to see the fruits of my summer labor in my pumpkin patch.
I love using funky pumpkins with lots of character and muted colors on my fall porch, so this year I grew several species, so I could get a nice variety of greens and muted orangey-pinks. I love the way they contrast off the leaves that have fallen from our trees.
Mums are always a staple in my fall porch and although you can’t tell (these haven’t started blooming just yet), these ones will be a brilliant orange. I also placed a few heads of kale in there as well and I love the texture they add. I can pretty much always find kale and mums at the grocery store so they are easy to find, and affordable. Although this year I bought my mums from a local farm.
For the door I went with a dried foliage wreath that is so pretty and I love how it pops against the black door. I’m really into these dried wreaths I’ve been seeing for the last couple years. This is my second one and I think this trend it here to stay for me. You can find amazing dried wreaths below!
I’m so happy I get to enjoy this pretty fall porch for the next couple months and I’m excited to harvest the seeds at the end of the season so I can grow them all over again next year!
Happy Fall!
Here’s how my fall mantel looked last year!
Do you ever plant your mum’s when you are done decorating with them? I don’t remember ever seeing them in any of your gardens. They are great perennials!
I haven’t but I will this year!!!
