Happy Fall Y'all!
Here in Upstate, SC we are finally enjoying some cooler days….at least not 90 degree days! The morning and evenings have been much cooler. Sweaters, scarves and boots are cordially invited! What better way to bring in a new season than decorating for it!
Some of the items used on the porch have been staples for quite a while. The spooky skeleton witch is new to the porch this year. For several years, she held guard on the front family room steps. She was a fun 1/2 price find at Michael's Crafts. All of the pumpkins are faux.
I love bringing in splashes of black here and there to tie in the Frontgate rug. Frontgate has beautiful outdoor mats that are made to last! I highly recommend these topiaries from Ballard. I have had them for 4 years now, and they still look great! Notice that I added some pumpkins around its base. The look would not be complete without the wired burlap ribbon from Amazon. It's a huge roll that will get you through several projects!
The mum planter is a fun DIY project. Click to take you to the instructions featuring this Mod Podge Mum Bucket which started out as simple galvanized buckets! This was a recent feature.
We never have trick-or-treaters, but it is fun to decorate like we do!!
Do you notice the Robin's Egg Blue table and mirror? This is actually a work in progress that I'll feature in the near future. I'm still looking for the perfect items to hang around the mirror. The mirror was in my attic from our bedroom suit that I mixed up. Don't want to be to matchy matchy. The console table was a thrift store $30 find. This was one of my very first Annie Sloan Chalk paint projects that I completed this past May. ASCP is the bomb!!! Stay tuned for more to come on this and other ASCP projects that I have completed.
I do love our front porch. I have big dreams of outdoor wicker rockers and a porch bed swing. All in good time, all in good time!
Happy Fall~
