Porch Decor For Fall

Published by | 397 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. -

I have really scaled back in what I am doing inside and out for fall decor this year. Last year, I was all excited to do a lot of decorating for the seasons and sort of went all out. This year it's much more laid back.

I sort of go in spurts like that.

And honestly, anything that I put out for fall will have to be put away again and that in itself is a drawback to me.

So I just added a few key fall items to my summer porch and called it a day.

The planters on either side of the door are what I had planted in May. They each have two Electric Lime Coleus with one Purple Fountain Grass plant in the middle.

Sort of like a grass sandwich. But you don't have to eat it.

Gourds that I picked up at the farm market are sitting in my planter box along with a lid to an apple basket.

Normally, I am not a fan of warty things, but I just love these bumpy gourds.

The rocking chairs and pillows have stayed the same.

I have added the clay pumpkin. Because, of course, I didn't have that out all summer. That would just be silly.

The cornstalks were a huge splurge this year. I have a hard time spending money on something that I could just as easily grab from a nearby cornfield. I mean there are probably 14 bazillion cornstalks in a square mile radius of us.

But that would be stealing. So I bought them at the farm market for $5.95 per stalk.

I really do love the look of the cornstalks on the porch pillars though.

The scale of the pumpkins is a little too large for this truck, but you'll just have to imagine they were grown at the nuclear power plant.

I hope to enjoy the fall this year, sitting in these rocking chairs admiring my not-to-overdone fall porch decor.

So remember, you can still create a fun fall porch with just a few tweaks of your summer porch here and there.

    Very cute, Pam! I agree, the corn stalks look perfect on the pillars. The mum, gourds and pumpkins add a pop of fall color. And those 2 black rockers look spectacular on your porch! And they go well with the Halloween theme, too. 🙂

    Getting set for the Halloween huh! I love how you arranged everything on your front porch. Are those real vegetables? Or they're all made of plastic?
