Fall Porch Decor

October 10, 2011 by Chris

Well, hello! I’m back from a great weekend with some family. My brother came into town, so I went home to visit. Of course, my mom had already fallified her front porch. Wanna tour?

Beautiful, no? The colors, the twinkling lights, and the noise of the water fountain (imagine it) were a perfect combination for an 81-degree fall day. This is Michigan—you never know what you’re gonna get around here.

Pumpkins. So easy, yet so cute.

This long window box is a newer addition to her porch, and she’s now kicking herself for not doing it years earlier.

I have wood sitting my garage for window boxes. I bought it two summers ago. I’m thinking it’s time.

I could post picture after picture, but I think you get the idea. It’s the prettiest house on the block. A little charm can go a long way!

P.S. I’m a year older. As a gift to myself, I spent the day here.

And I can’t wait to show you all the goodies I brought home!

    Your mom’s porch looks beautiful. I love the lights–why has it never occurred to me to use twinkle lights at any time other than Christmas??

    Hope you had a wonderful birthday!

    Well Happy Birthday to you and what a fun place to spend your birthday…with mom and IKEA. Can’t wait to see what you got and what you did with it.

    Oh…your mom’s house looks wonderful!

    That is possibly the best way to spend a birthday (IMHO)! I’m jealous–the nearest IKEA to me is 300 miles! Hope you had a splendid b-day!

    Looks great. I always like it when people get creative with outside lights. It can make a garden so much more inviting at night I feel.

    I love the wire-pumpkins and the wreath. No doubt your Mom’s house is the best looking house on the lane.

    Happy Birthay! What a way to celebrate your day 🙂 I live in MI too but Ikea is more than 3 hrs drive from my place 🙁

      It’s a 2-hour drive for me, Tanya! So it’s quite a treat if I decide to make the drive. SO wish we had one closer!
