    My Fall Front Porch

    As we slide on into October, I’m all about decorating for fall! I thought I’d show you what I’ve done so far starting with my fall front porch. My first clue that I may have gone a little overboard is that when I was piling my cart high with mums and pumpkins at Stew Leonard’s over the weekend, a woman watching me unload my cart into the car swung by and jokingly said “Where do you live? I want to drive by your house!” – ha!). Here’s how it turned out… (post includes affiliate links; full disclosure statement available {here}):

    Love this look for a fall front porch! Pumpkins, mums, and lanterns line the steps!

    Scroll & Click/Tap to Shop My Front Porch:

     

    The standouts of my porch are these ginormous mums in {these new urn planters} that I found at a really great price:

    The perfect gray urn planters for your front porch at a GREAT price!!

    Mine are the Cement color but they also come in Taupe and Black. They’re lightweight so are easy to store but once they’re filled with soil and plants they’re heavy enough that they won’t tip over when it’s windy. My original stone urn planters (found {here}) are filled with the prettiest large cabbages:

    Love using cabbages for fall decorating! So pretty mixed in with mums!

    I also added the smallest two sizes of my lanterns trios that I’ve had for years:

    These cute lanterns come as part of a trio (with a third larger one) and are perfect for decorating your front porch!

    After going out of stock almost two years ago, I just found them back in stock {here}! I usually keep them on my front porch through the holidays – they look great with simple candles but are fun to fill with ornaments too:

    Love the idea of filing lanterns with ornaments to decorate your porch for Christmas!

    My old doormat was looking pretty ratty so I added {this pretty patterned doormat} that I can keep out here year-round:

    Super cute doormat with black geometric pattern!

    {This gorgeous wreath} that I shared a few weeks back is what ties it all together – love it so much! (mine is the 24″ finished size (18″ base)):

    Love my new fall wreath! I'm sharing sources for it and my other favorite fall wreaths in this post!

    This fall wreath is a stunner! Filled with faux pumpkins, pinecones, and dark peonies!

    Now I just have to hope we have several weeks before we start hitting freezing temps at night and I lose my mums! Our high temp tomorrow is only going to be in the 50’s – what’s that all about Mother Nature? I know fall hasn’t shown it’s face in many parts of the country quite yet but we’re definitely not only getting “sweater weather” but “jacket weather” too!

    Mum, pumpkins, and lanterns line this gorgeous fall porch!

    While I spent a bit of time decorating my front porch for the season, I don’t really go all out inside – I keep things pretty simple! If you want to add touches of fall to your home without spending hardly any time or money, simply snag a bunch of white baby boo pumpkins (most grocery stores have them!) and spread them throughout your home! It couldn’t be more quick and simple but definitely adds the perfect little fall vibe. In my kitchen, I simply added a few to our open corner shelving:

    Loving the fall florals and baby boo pumpkins added to dress up this kitchen for fall!

    Scroll and Click/Tap to Shop My Kitchen:

     

    Open corner shelving in a kitchen is the perfect place to add a few fall touches with baby boo pumpkins!

    Scroll and Click/Tap to Shop My Kitchen Shelves:

    In past years I’ve also sprinkled them throughout bookcases and in the built-in cabinet in our dining room:

    Sprinkling white baby boo pumpkins on shelving and in bowls is a super simple way to decorate for fall!

    So cute! Baby boo pumpkins dress up this china cabinet for fall!

    Other ideas are putting baby boos in a pretty bowl as a table centerpiece, adding a trio to the top of your coffee table or an end table, putting them in lanterns outside or by your fireplace (this is {this same set of lanterns} I shared earlier):

    Love this trio of black lanterns filled with pumpkins (and the mums too!) for a fall front porch

    Another quick fall decorating tip is to add a few large scale faux branches to a vase like this little arrangement in our kitchen that I shared last month with three of {these faux pomegranate branches} – super simple and quick!:

    Love this simple but beautiful fall arrangement with faux pomegranate branches in a glass vase - sources linked in post!

    I also got a few fall pillows that have made our window seat the coziest, most Hope-approved fall spot in the house:

    Loving these fall pillows and throw - such a dreamy window seat!

    So obsessed in with gorgeous pillows!! The cream tassel end pillows go with everything!!

    And with that, I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week! if you’re looking for more fall inspiration check out my post on fall decor ideas!

    XOXO,

      Hi Kris! Does Serena & Lily ever have a sale? Loving that rattan chair and the pillow you have on it. Have a great time in NC! That table will look sweet in your breakfast nook!

        Sure – it’s a tweaked version of Sherwin Williams Keystone Gray – the exact formula is at the end of this post: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/house-tour-dining-room/ It is a little darker in real life – this pic is directly across from a large window in the room.

      Love all your fall decor Kris! Wish a beautiful pumpkin cluster would last more than a week outside my humid, hot door in Miami before it starts to rot! What size of your capiz pendant? Doesn’t it give off a good amount of light?
      Thank you and happy fall!

        Especially this year the south is really getting the heat! My capiz pendant is the smaller 22″ size. I have just a normal 60 watt and it’s a subtle light that’s perfect for dining. But if you wanted more light, you could use an LED bulb and get the brightness equivalent of a 100 watt bulb that uses less than 60 watts (hope that makes sense!).

      Your front porch looks so festive and it will be perfect through Thanksgiving. The pillows you found are wonderful too.
      I bet you’re getting so excited to be doing things to your North Carolina house. I think the dining nook will be great. Can’t wait to see what you decide.
      xo,

      Kris,
      Your front porch fall decore is fabulous. I would love to do something like it on our porch. Love seeing your “simple” interior fall decore and need to get some of those small white gourds. I’ve had orange ones before and after Thanksgiving sprayed them gold to fit in with our Christmas decore. Your new Serena and Lily pillows are wonderful and I love everything in their store.
      Thank you for the inspiration, living in Los Angeles it’s sometimes hard to get into the season when the temperatures are still in the 80’s and 90’s!
      xoxo

      Hi~
      Where did you get your light green and light orange pumpkins (or are they large gourds?!)?
      Thank you!
