This is the first house we’ve ever owned that had a real front porch. Our new porch is small, but it finally has a roof to protect from weather and enough room for a piece of furniture.
I found this acacia wood bench at the closing sale of a lovely little home and garden shop back in March. They had contactless pick-up and I got it for a great price. I was thinking of painting it, but for now I’m going to see how it looks through the seasons.
I’ve been excited since March to decorate the porch for fall. My spring and summer decor was simple, because there was so much to do elsewhere, but in the fall I can really concentrate on the area that welcomes guests!
One constant is a blue pot with a bee motif. I filled it with pink geraniums for summer, but they were getting long and leggy. You couldn’t even see the bee! Here’s the before shot.
I swapped them out for a fall arrangement. (And you can bet I saved that asparagus fern to bring inside!) Can’t wait until that copper coin mum starts to bloom and fills the container out completely. 🧡
Rounding things out with another mum (a pomegranate color this time) and a stack of heirloom pumpkins just seemed like the right thing to do, don’t you think? 🎃😍
I will be tweaking this porch decor throughout the season, adding Halloween lights in late October plus a cute rustic sign I have on order through Etsy. I’m also hoping to rework the small garden bed in front. So stay tuned! 🍂🧡
