Autumn on the Porch

I love decorating my front porch to go with the seasons. Not only that, but I love pulling up to the house and seeing it in all of it's glory! I was so eager to begin decorating for Fall this year, so I wasted no time!


I had bought a floral wall pocket from Hobby Lobby. I knew immediately that I was going to spray paint it white since my front door was black. So, I did just that.. I spray painted it a flat white, giving it a good two coats. Once it was dry, I grabbed a low grit sand paper and began to rough it up throughout the piece. This gave it some depth and would likely blend in with the natural weathering it will get being on my porch. I had also bought some decorative wheat and potpourri arrangement at Marshall's. I combined the two arrangements and made it my own! It smells heavenly, and I'm hoping that scent will last a little while even though it's outside. I made a simple burlap bow using some burlap ribbon I already had and hot glued a clip onto the back. I love putting clips on my bows because I can easily remove them if needed, or move them to another spot of the arrangement if I want. 

I'm pretty happy with how this piece turned out! It's full, screams Fall and looks great on my door! So what do you think of it?

  3. I love how pretty your front entry is. Maybe someday I will be able to get mine looking pretty. We have been in our new house for just under 2 years but I have a newly 4 year old and a 1 year old so projects are going slowly. Great idea!

  6. beautiful! i like this instead of a traditional wreath, and your whole entry is so inviting. i like the trim color, too, in contrast with the door.
    enjoy,
