Fall is definitely here today. My hands got cold when I was completing my porch. My favorite area on the porch is where I keep my bench. It always looks best in the fall. It’s a great place for Halloween costume picture taking too, but I think my son is too big to dress up this year. :(
I made a pillow for my bench that I just love. I keep wanting to bring it inside because I like it so much.
Isn’t it so cute? I made it with some left over drop cloth material and freezer paper which is my new best friend.
Wanna see something really cool? I can turn my pillow around in December and see this.
2 for 1 pillows! Love that.
I bought more traditional type pumpkins for this area.
I wanted to add another pumpkin to the the pot on the right side, but I have been growing this ivy since May and I don’t have the heart to remove it.
That’s a solar light inside in the middle if you missed that post.
I use the same leaf garland every year and wrap it around my bench. I potted a couple of more mums that will look so much better when they bloom.
Finally the entire porch is fall ready. I think. :)
I do have one more thing I plan to try and make and I might get some more pumpkins for the chair on the left and the brick ledge on the right.
Have you bought your pumpkins yet? The pumpkin man told me they all get picked at the same time so there is no benefit waiting until later.
Happy Fall.
Tracy

ReplyDeleteIt all looks great Tracy! I love all the pumpkins. I haven't bought any yet. I just don't have a big entryway anymore. I think I have that same leaf garland as you!
ReplyDeletewow- it looks fabulous! i wish i had a front porch to decorate! you haev done such a wonderful job with every little detail- the bench is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks beautiful! Can you explain more about the freezer paper? I love the pillow and would like to try it. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOh I adore that pillow! So darned cute. I want one!
ReplyDeleteYour front porch looks great! How smart that was to make a reversible pillow. I may have to steal that idea.
ReplyDeleteLover that pillow! but what did I miss? What is freezer paper and how does it work? I'd love to make something like this. Please tell us more.

ReplyDeleteYour porch is continuing to look better and better. Great job as usual, my friend.
I'm digging EVERYTHING on your front porch area...the bench...the punks with the extra little touches of berries and vine (those are AWESOME!) love love it all
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThe entire porch looks beautiful. I love the simple, but very effective way you used color. It all comes together so well. Very, very nice.(-: Great attention to detail...which always shows.
O!M!G! I LOVE THIS!! This is a keeper! Simple and elegant... It doesn't get any better than this! Thanks for sharing over at Susan's! Happy to have found your blog today...

PS: I'm re-posting this onto my FB blog community page to share... Great job!
I love that pillow! Your front porch is so pretty and inviting!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I haven't done anything for my front porch, but I do have a bench that needs serious repainting. I love the pillow! And all of your other posts make me want to spruce up that front porch!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love your little 2 for 1 pillow! That's great. It has been raining for days in Virginia!! I want to decorate for Fall but I can't because of this rain! Hoping this weekend will bring some sunshine so I can work on it!
ReplyDeleteNice job!
Everything looks so good. You did a great job. New follower from Creative Girls Just Something I Whipped Up.
ReplyDeleteYour sweet comment (that my towel caught your eye right away) made me check out All Thingz Related to see what other's had posted. Immediately (first off) I came to your post, without knowing it was yours. This pillow is fabulous! I love the simplicity of it and I love the fact that it is two sided -- so smart! Your entryway is beautiful -- so pretty and inviting.
ReplyDeleteI love your entryway...it is looks so inviting. You did a great job with it and the pillow ;o)
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks amazing. My house has the same colouring as yours yet our porch is deeper than it is wide on the house. You have inspired me to do a display on our porch. Now where to buy a bench?
ReplyDeleteVisiting from The Girl Creative's link party.
Love the pillow & your porch!
ReplyDeleteYour front porch looks great! I especially love the pillow. I also love that you wrap the garland around your bench! Come by and visit, I have decorated for fall as well and i am having a great giveaway!

LOVE the pillow! I have a bench on my front porch, and now I know exactly what it's been missing!
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite season! There’s something about it that makes me feel so warm. Anyway, I like your design, though it’s very simple, it is very meaningful! And I love the color of those leaves! Maybe you should add more pumpkins on the bricks. What do you think?
ReplyDelete-Angelina Garcia
The pillows are really nice. They make setting the porch for the season less complicated. There’s not much there, but you were able to give the feel of autumn and winter straight away, when usually the change of season calls for new decors and arrangements. This idea is really convenient. :) How about your son, did you get him to dress up? -->William
