Fall front porch finally done

The front porch is done.  I think that I have put as much on there as I can.  I still have more decorating to do inside the house today.  It is hard to get pictures because of the columns so these are in sections.  Here is the right side of the front door.  All I had to do was finish decorating the bench.

Next is the area where the rocking chairs are.  They are over to the left of the front door.

On the table in between is a Pumpkin Spice drink.  I will be trying this tonight.

I added some fall leaves and flowers to my wicker plant stand.

Here is a long shot of the front porch from the corner.

Since this is a wrap around porch I still have the side and back area to finish.  Probably not today,  I think I will do some more decorating inside and watch the Bronco's game.

Pumpkins in the dining room

I felt like I needed a change in the dining room today.  So once I got done with cleaning the house I dove right into decorating.  The last theme was birds so now I am going with pumpkins.

I love these metal pumpkins and the matching leave that I found at Tuesday Morning.  They look great on the buffet.

Since they have a scroll pattern I used my pumpkin plates that I got at Pier 1.

Nothing fancy for the centerpiece.  I used a swag that I added some more pumpkins and flowers to.   I added two candlesticks on each side with some glass beads around them.

Now if I can just get the front porch done.  I plan on tackling the rest of the porch tomorrow after I get the yard work done.

More Fall on the front porch

I got a little bit more done on the front porch today.  I still have a few more areas to decorate.  It took longer today than I thought it would to get the yard work done.  Here is what I got done.  I still have to decorate the bench by the crates.

Look who is hiding in the flowers.

More close ups of the different tiers.

Since I put the bench next to the steps I added one more lantern.

Now for some close ups of the lanterns.

Here is what the front door area looks like.

I love this mail box that I put by the door.  It is just for show.

More to come next time.

Fall has arrived

Today my goal was to get the front porch decorated.  Unfortunately I didn't get all of it done.  Last night we had very strong winds and I woke up today with having to remove lots of tumbleweeds from our yard.  They must have come from the open space behind our home.  They were everywhere.  Even in the front yard.  Most of them where trapped by the fence.  Let's say it was not fun to clean them up.  They were even in the pond.  It took me over 3 hours since our yard is about 3/4 of an acre.  So here is what I did manage to get done.

The two urns in front of the porch have real plants and silk flowers.  I cleaned out the urns today and left the spikes in the middle and the cascading greens. I also left some of the asparagus fern that is tucked in by the pumpkins.  I then added some silk flowers and leafs and tucked in a couple of real pumpkins in the front.

I filled up my metal wheel barrow with silk flowers and leaves and added three real pumpkins.  I like to use real pumpkins as much as possible.  I love the one that looks like it has warts.

My front flower bed was planted this year so the flowers are not filled in.  I have silk flowers and a real pumpkin in the bird bath.

I added a white pumpkin and another wart pumpkin by my rabbit.

I really liked these two pumpkins for their color.  For now I tucked them in the front corner but I may put them elsewhere later on.

Tomorrow after I do my yard work I am going to tackle rest of the front porch. 

Fall in the entry way

I have a few areas that I like to decorate for the seasons in my entry way.  The first is this ledge that you see when you walk in the door.

The pumpkin and lantern light up.

I love to decorate my shoe bench but I can only do it for a picture as I use this everyday.

I love this lantern by the bench.  It is the same as the one on the ledge.

They are battery operated.  Here it is with the lights on in the daytime.

The table next to the front door.

I like to put flowers in my metal urn but was not sure where to put it this year.  I decided to set in the entry by the column for now.  I might move it later.
