I sat here forever coming up with that title. Catchy, no? Here’s the deal. I just can’t craft/renovate/refurbish/sew/decorate like I thought I might be able to. However, I want to blog. I want to stay connected. Hopefully, you won’t mind what I consider some “filler” posts of inspiration. Basically…I’m showing off what I’ve been drooling over!
I have to admit I don’t decorate much outside. Truth be told, I have nothing out there right now. We live on a large lot, so it’s difficult to spend the time on it.
Of course, if my front porch looked like this, I might be willing to spend the extra time! The picture below is my FAVorite.
How cute is this? Potting shed, anyone? My mom has an absolutely adorable potting shed. Here you go, Mom. Now get to work. 😉

I love to see the things that you drool over because it is always me that is drooling over what you do lol
FUN ideas! I may just have to 'borrow' some of them!! 😉
I LOOOOOVVEEEE (opera singing voice) that first picture. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
I love PB's porch pictures. I love these ideas. All we have is a pumpkin outside.
Slacker. No, I should admit my decorating for Halloween is totally wimpy. More like piles of stuff here and there. With the house overflowing from the basement work all my storage for holidays is just a mess. Can't find a darn thing. But just wait till NEXT year!
Great ideas – I have decked out the inside of the house, but just realized today, that I haven't touched the outside. After these photos I am feeling inspired…

I Love those porches! I wonder the the door was painted orange just for Halloween! One day I'll have a porch nice enough to decorate!!

I always have such bad porch envy when it comes to holidays! There's so much to do.
I love them all too! I finally got to create a fall display this year. Check it out…

What great ideas! I don't have much of an outside, so I don't decorate either. But with these ideas, it makes me want an outside space!
I LOOOOVE the orange door!!! Our living room is that orange color and I love it! I would love if I could have an orange door! …and the decorations to match! 🙂
Great inspiration pics! I love that orange door with the black. Awesome!
XOXO

All gorgeous!
I love the Pottery Barn picture! I am drooling too!
Don't you just love Fall!

I love me some inspiration…love the little skeleton pumpkin in the potting shed.
Your favorite is MY favorite too.
I don't decorate outside either. My outside is so ugly it always looks like Halloween. LOL
Keep on bloggin', girl, because I can't sew/refurbish/renovate either and that's what's so great about your blog. You tackle things that I actually have a snowball's chance in hell of doing!!! Decorating outside is tough for me as well, seeing as we live on a very windy lot. My stuffed crows would end up in the next development.
I love the potting shed too.
Don't worry about not posting your original work every day. I too have that dilemma. It is impossible to come up with new projects daily and still find time to clean the house, grocery shop, do laundry… We understand.
Great inspiration. I rarely decorate the outside for Halloween.
Ok that's it, I have to move so I can have a front porch to decorate a la Pottery Barn!
Those are some great ideas! I wish I could find the creativity to do something with my front door/porch area! Hmmm, maybe for Christmas!
How cute and creative!!
I love an award for you on my blog!! http://teenfashiondesign.blogspot.com
They all are so good!!!! I don't do anything with the front of my house because inevitably the squirrels, kids, wind, or some other random unknown knocks it down or does something to it!
It's ALL as lovely as PIE!! How fun, I'd love to be a child and go trick-or-treating at these houses!! So happy and fun. I have a few pumpkins outside. (did have mums, but my lovely 14 yr. old dog dug them out..nice)
WIll you come give me some kitchen advice? I'd love it mucho grande..
Oh, I love to see the stuff you drool over 'cause then I get to drool over it too. 😉
LOOOOVEEE the decor, but I wonder about that orange door…. do you think that anyone would be happy with an orange door year around???? and who would have the time to paint and re-paint?!! Wonder what the neighbors would think?!! I guess if the color scheme on the rest of the house was just right it would be okay. Kinda citrus(y) for the summer I guess, but what on earth would you do at Christmas with an orange door? I'm putting too much thought into this. I think that a basic black or white door (or red – that does the trick for most holidays) is best in my opinion. 😉

These are pretty amazing!
girl, we all throw in a posts of inspirational filler…i get some of my best ideas not only from other bloggers personal projects, but their inspiration photos too!..i lvoe the door too…but i wouldn't want an orange door ALL year round..but could easily do black with an orange wreath at Halloween?? 🙂
I love the black front door on the photo that you love. Pretty.
Don't you just love to drive around during this time of year and see everyone's pumpkins and Mums? I will drive out of my way if anyone tells me of a home in my area that is decorated to the hilt. My MIL use to decorate so much for Halloween and they lived across from a K-5 grade school and the little kids use to cheer on the bus when she was putting out her decorations. It was such a treat for the children to see her home all decorated so cute for Halloween. I now carry on her tradition every year.

I really love these. This is my Favorite time of year! Oh and your welcome (thanks for stopping by my blog) I am honored 🙂
Please post whether you're crafty or not. We enjoy the "filler", it was most drool-worthy.
And now I'm drooling over those also. They are really nice. I personally like the first and third photo. Cool ideas. Thank you for sharing them to us. I'm so excited for Halloween!
I have the picture from PB in my inspiration folder. Guess I need to print off the other seeing as how they are equally fabulous. Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow, those pics are amazing! Something to dream about!
I love your blog and would love for you to win my giveaway!
