Fall Porch Ideas







Here are a few things you can bring outside to add to your fall displays.




Pile up some warm wool blankets to wrap up in on those chilly days.




Add some pumpkins for colour.




Fill an old tool box with some fall asters, gourds, ornamental peppers, and decorative kale.








Build a tower of pumpkins.  
I used a wire obelisk that I had in the garden.  It was easy to pass the pumpkins and gourds through the open wires.  
There are wires on the bottom of the obelisk to stick into the ground.  This prevents the tower from toppling over.


 


Some of the pumpkins and gourds are sort of wedged in so that they don't fall out. 
I used a pot which had flowers still blooming.  Some of the plants had already died off in the middle, so it was a convenient place to place the tower.

My original plan was to use a tomato cage for the tower, but, the wires are not close enough together to keep the pumpkins from falling out.




Fill a flower box with fall mums, ornamental peppers, and a croton which was left over from summer.  I left the plants in their pots and placed them into the window box.  I then added some small squash and gourds.




I try to re-use whatever plant material I can and work it into my display. 





I also used a few potted mums for added colour.





As much as possible, I stuck to my colour scheme of purple and orange with a little white and green.









  


Decorating outside the home in fall is fun and you can extend the growing season by filling in some bare areas with fall plants.

Fall Front Porch



It is hard to believe that another summer is almost over and we are looking toward Autumn.



The summer wreath was replaced with a twiggy grapevine wreath.  Faux gourds, mini pumpkins, and faux sunflowers and fall leaves were wired and glued to the wreath.



We decorated the door, the window box, and the bench and placed a pumpkin stack next to the bench.



The made in Scotland tartan blanket is Buchanan Antique.  The 'antique' part of the name doesn't mean that the blanket is antique, but rather the colouring of the blanket is muted making it look antique.  The colours in the Buchanan tartan are quite a bit brighter than this blanket.




The window box holds three white pumpkins with some faux fall leaves.  It is too early here to find fall leaves.











The pumpkins are stacked in a short black urn.  They sit on cut garden sage and we have added sage between each pumpkin.

The sage was readily available from the garden and gives the pumpkin stack more dimension and presence.





Thanks for stopping by.
