Ideas for Fall Dining on the Porch

I am so excited to officially say, “Happy Fall!”………y'all

We are finally in that odd place where the mornings are quite chilly, but the days heat up. I'll take it….it just means we are inching ever so closely to boots, sweaters and cozy evening by the fire. 

This is perhaps one of our favorite times of the year to enjoy our screened porch. I find myself working on my laptop during the day more. We are now even leaving the French doors opened to the porch until around noon each day until the air kicks on. I love being able to hear the birds and trees rustling. 

So yes…..here in the south we still have a few more weeks left of outdoor dining in the evenings. 

Welcome to another installment of our monthly Pinterest Challenges hosted by my sweet friend, Cindy, from County Road 407. 

If you are new to the Pinterest Challenge, here are the details!

  • each month Cindy selects a photo for inspiration online that we will recreate
  • the owner of the photo has graciously given us permission to give our spin on the project
  • you will receive numerous ideas that you can replicate in your home to keep things fresh

This month's inspiration comes from the talented, Beth, from Home Stories A-Z. Please be sure to visit Beth's blog to see all of the inspiration in just this one blog post. 

Little fun piece of trivia…….I was Beth and Matt's Realtor for the purchase of this home. It's a gorgeous place! You've got to go check out her blog to see all of the amazing things that she has done to this place to make it their own. 

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. You pay nothing more for your purchase. The company rewards me with a small commission. You can read my disclosure here. 

Also on OSH!  Simple Fall Inspiration

If you are dropping by Stone Gable then welcome! Yvonne is such a sweet and talented friend. Her blog is such a joy and I always come away inspired. 

My takeaways from this photo that I wanted to incorporate that I knew that I already had on hand were the following:

  • woven placemats
  • white china
  • copper mugs
  • striped napkins
  • galvanized round tray

fall porch

We use our screened porch all the time. Our pets LOVE it! It's a mix of new, thrifted, budget and Craigslist finds. It's casual and comfortable. The outdoor wicker table has a glass top which we use as is most evenings with placemats. We do eat out here all the time. For this tablescape, I knew that I wanted to add a tablecloth to soften the surface and mimic the top of Beth's wood table. Fortunate for me that the napkins that I already owned had a matching tablecloth. It was just a short Amazon click away.

I looked at getting a totally different tablecloth, but concerned that the colors would be off and I didn't have time for that. I needed the tablecloth like yesterday!

porch table

The soft charcoal lines really look pretty with the darkness of the table and chairs. I really like that they match now that I have it. It such a nice neutral set that will work for all seasons. 

fall table

Beth used natural elements from her yard. We live on 7 acres mainly surrounded by woods. We have lots of landscape, but I've really been wanting to use magnolia lately. We have several rows af Little Gem Magnolias. They are wonderful in that they are nice and compact. They are perfect for occasional clippings. 

Magnolia are beautiful on their own, but I decided to pick up a bouquet of hydrangea and eucalyptus from Trader Joes. Hydrangeas make everything look devine. 

floral arrangement

I have an oval and a round galvanized tray. I went with the round due to the size and shape of the round table. If I was using my rectangle or oval table inside, I would have gone with the oval one. I surrounded my vase with the baby pumpkins and a few sprigs of eucalyptus.

I picked these double-walled copper tumblers up at Sam's Club last year. We use them a lot. Since it's still a bit warm here, I opted to use these due to condensation. Nothing beats the beauty of my traditional copper mugs. 

fall table

The utensils are simply tied with a piece of twine and a cut sprig of ivy. I really lucked out when I found this set of Mikasa white china at the thrift store. It's linked above.

Sorry to disturb your sweet slumber, Jack! If the doors are opened to the porch, he always finds his way to the chairs here. These are actually the pillows that I had made for the family room. Don't be afraid to bring the indoors out when decorating for a dinner party outside.

    Hi Christy! I want your enclosed patio, lol!!! It always looks so inviting and of course it looks even better decorated here for fall. Love how you’ve created your table with the inspiration table in mind. Really pretty and the hydrangeas were a perfect choice!!

    Happy fall to you and I hope you get many more lovely evenings out on the patio this season,
    Hugs,
    Barb 🙂

    Everything looks beautiful, Christy, and I can’t believe you were Beth’s realtor! Too funny! Your centerpiece with the eucalyptus, pumpkins and magnolia looks divine. It’s very reminiscent of Beth’s tablescape while putting a different spin on it. I hope you’ll come join us sometime at Tuesday Turn About, which goes live at 5pm today.

    Your tablescape is perfectly inspired by Beth’s image! Love those copper cups, too, and the tablecloth/napkins are just the right touch! Funny story about being Beth’s realtor… small world!

    You’ve done a great job with this Pinterest Challenge. Everything is so beautiful and inviting. Love those napkins and placemats. Especially that charcoal line that goes so well with the chairs, just like you said. And how fun is it to have been Beth’s Realtor?! That is so cool! I bet she thinks the same thing about having you as her Realtor too. 😉

    Christy, great job on emulating Beth’s design. Love the centerpiece with the galvanized round tray and the pumpkins. I’ve been looking for one of those myself. The hydrangeas are beautiful and fit the fall theme. Love that you brought out the indoor pillows for use on the screened porch. I don’t blame Jack for getting comfy. Looks like a wonderful place to enjoy a fall meal.

Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m a bit loosey goosey about it. I tend to decorate it in a way that will work for a couple of seasons at a time. The easiest way to do this is with pillows! I went a little unexpected color wise for spring because I found these gorgeous pillows @potterybarn and had to use right now! I love a pillow that will do double duty in other rooms as well. These will also work in the family room for a quick change. You can see all the details and more of our bedroom with a rug change by visiting my link in bio to this fun tour with 5 of my blogging friends.

After so many days of clouds and rain, the sun is glorious! Look at that blue sky! I took advantage of the day because I was just too excited to unroll my new @boutiquerugs outdoor rug on the patio! #ad I don't think I've ever been more pleased with an outdoor rug.

I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my ki I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my kids years ago. I’ve never had a class, but you can learn a lot from books and Youtube these days. This is the first one I’ve made in probably 8 years. These little smaller mini cake pans are so fun to make a taller cake. I’ve got all the details on this semi-homemade cake that starts with a box on the blog today along with a few recipes from my friends. Each month we come together to share a simple recipe. 

It’s not perfect, but made with love. 💕 It was a big hit for @ashlyn_little ‘s birthday on Jan 30th. I can’t wait to make another one! You’ll find a link in stories today or visit my link in bio @oursouthernhome to visit the blog.
