    A Simple Fall Front Porch

    Published by Pam Kessler | 308 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 33 Comments

    Sometimes when you are blogging, you tend to go a little overboard in decorating. Fall front porch ideas get a little over the top and the next thing you know you're building a full size replica of Lizzie Borden's parlor on your front porch for Halloween. It's just a hazard of the job.

    So in the middle of shopping for a Lizzie period dress, I came to the realization that I just wanted to do a typical non-blogging-Pam front porch. Nothing too over the top and nothing that will make cars passing on the street stop and gawk.

    Lizzie with a hatchet would have surely made a few cars stop. Some with lights and sirens on them.

    So this is my sweet and simple, laid-back fall porch.

    Other than the bowl of apples, damn you Gala apples, the rest of the stuff will sit on my porch until after Thanksgiving.

    This humongo pumpkin is my favorite thing on the porch. It has got to be close to 100 pounds.

    Normally it would be one of those instance where I would want to try to see how it looks on each side of the door and then move it an inch this way and then an inch that way.

    But after my husband and I managed to somehow actually get it up onto the porch and I asked my husband to scooch it over an inch or two and I got the look (i.e. no one is going to get a hernia over this stupid pumpkin), it just stayed where we dropped it.

    Yep, looks good there!

      I think it all looks lovely although I thought that giant pumpkin might be inflatable. It is BIG. Your husband might not want to move it an inch here or there but I can promise you my husband would have refused getting it in the car, let alone up on the porch!

      I hope you took that beautiful bowl inside! A bowl like that is the one thing of my mom's that the four sisters will probably fight over!

      Very peaceful back porch. I could sit and read a long book there.

        I'm probably not going to be a lot of help, but I've had that for YEARS. It probably came from Walmart.

          Thank you, Pam. I have looked for a plaid fall throw that I can use on my front porch, and have been unable to find one. I will have to keep looking, and Walmart will be one place I will check.
