I have shown you the foyer so I better show you the front of the house before we proceed to other spots! I know this may change some but right now ths is how the front of the house looks, decorated for FALL!!! Fall is my favorite time of year. Yes, I LOVE summer and now that we live here, I LOVE having the pool to go to. But Fall brings so many things I love: hot cider, football, cozy throws, pumpkin anything, comfort food, I could go on and on!!!! So here are a few shots of the front of my house. When I look back to last years pictures, I am kinda amazed! It has changed ALOT in just one short year! We will be in this house one year on Oct. 1st!!!! I can hardly believe it!!!! I got this pillow at Christmas Tree Shops 2 years ago. I love it still.
This came from the same shop.
Last year we didn't have any bushes on the front side of the walkway and only 6 things in the space where the bench is now:)
I got this little fence many years ago at a craft fair.
Joe and I have sat out here on this bench MANY evenings this summer having a glass of wine and visiting with neighbors.
I took the summer flowers out of the hanging basket and replaced them with fall flowers. The plant stand will go inside when it gets too cool outside. I embellished it with some pumpkins, leaves etc. The coleus in the copper pot are still looking very good but I want to do a Fall arrangement of some plants in there SOON.
We brought the stepping stones over from the other house. They used to be around the pond.
I got my first pumpkin yesterday at the grocery store. I chose the biggest one they had:)
My fall welcome mat. It is a little "tired" but I may replace it NEXT year.
I put the pumpkin on 2 hay bales that I stacked together.
And surrounded them with FAUX mums!
At the old house we didn't have enough sun for real mums and these never die!!!! However, when I find some pretty real ones, I will replace them.
My Fall wreath on the front door. So there you have it. I will continue the tour back inside. I LOVE decorating for Fall, these are MY colors! I can't wait till we can start painting the inside of the house. But right now we have LOTS of projects going: a deck, patio and pond. Plus Joe is working on a bar downstairs. One of these days we will be bored and have nothing to do....................HA!!!!!!!! Thanks for your visit. XO, Pinky

Your front porch and front yard " curb appeal" id do festive. What is missing is a small water fountain. Do you have any electrical outlets so you could plug in a small garden fountain? We made one out of copper pipes, a $15 water pump and a faux pot that does not have a hole in the bottom. My husband drilled 2 small holes on the the back of the top of the rim of the pot. I ran wire through the holes and around the neck of the fountain. A friend at work welded the copper pipes to our directions to make the water fountain. Just a suggestion, because I like coming home and sitting outside on our bench an listen to the water. Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so nice! Lovely front yard and so many special touches : I especially love that pillow!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, we are having a pond and waterfall done in the back yard:)
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely wonderful Pinky. I love the wreath!!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so pretty and fun, Pinky. I really like your front door wreath. I haven't started seeing real pumpkins here yet -- been so dang hot, any pumpkin outside would probably turn into pumpkin pie in one day! I did see some gorgeous mums at Costco, but I'm afraid it might still be too hot here.
ReplyDeleteSooo pretty! I love your wreath!
