Fall Porch Ideas

beaded pumpkins in vintage sap bucket

When I moved into this house last fall, one of the things I just loved about the house is that the outside entryway was somewhat sheltered, meaning I could decorate and not worry that the elements would blow, chill, and destroy my holiday decor.  This year, the minute the calendar turned to September, I rounded […]

Repurposed Copper Mold Fall Wreath

upcycled copper mold fall wreath

The minute September 1st hits, I want hints of fall everywhere … or maybe more than just hints.  I light fall-scented candles, I break out the pumpkin hand soap, and I start adding touches of fall decor to my home.  This year, I decorated my porch for the season, adding some pumpkins and other items […]

My red painted front door was sponsored by PPG Paints. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
