Adding Fall to the Front Porch



Is there anyone else out there who decorates in shifts?
I swear, I tweak things a little here and a little there until I can't add another thing to the mix.

I had the mums, the pumpkin, and the fern on our old milk can, and it seemed good enough
 ...until I saw Karianne's magnificent front door.

That was all she wrote.  I called my dad and frantically asked if he had any cornstalks left.
Thankfully he did, so we planned a trip on Saturday to pick them up.
My dad just sort of scratched his head as he watched me cutting them in the garden.
 I think he seriously wonders about me, but he is so happy to oblige me in my decorating quandaries.

I'd love to say I'm finished, but in a few weeks we'll add more pumpkins, when I know they won't rot!

  1. love it! I always love the color Fall brings to a front porch and I'm right there with you, I've had the boxes out for the past week and a half adding a few items here and there daily. It takes me awhile to get inspired ;)

  4. tara,

    You are so funny :) I know your cornstalks are going to be amazing. Maybe we could arrange a little cornstalk potluck :)

    Happy fall my wonderful friend!

  5. Lovely fall front porch. I decorate in stages too - so far everything is out but the pumpkins. Will add them in later this week.

  6. It looks gorgeous!! I always feel like I have to have both sides match, but you didn't do that and I LOVE it! Hmmm, this is something I'll have to keep in mind for future decorating. :)

  8. I would like to do cornstalks on my front porch this year. How do you attach them to the sidelights? Love the look.
