Beautiful Fall Front Porches, Part 2 of the "Phenomenal Fall Favorites" Series

Hey y'all!  I'm glad you could join me for Part Two of the "Phenomenal Fall Favorites" series!  Today, our focus is on making a welcoming front door for this colorful season.  (If you missed part 1, "Thrifty and Rustic Fall Essentials for the Home," you can click here to see that post.)  I hope you'll be as inspired as I am as we take a look at some gorgeous Fall porches!

How cute are these painted pumpkins?!  So simple, yet so eye-catching!  I also love the use of these vintage, galvanized accessories!

Let revelers know they're at the right address by emblazoning your house number—and hometown—on pumpkins. First, you'll need number stickers ($8 for four; etsy.com/shop/doodlebugdesignstn), as well as a decal in the shape of your state ($4.99; vinyldecals.com). Use Fiskar's star punch ($11.50; amazon.com) to mark your location on the state decal. Apply it to one pumpkin, and the numbers to another, then use a foam brush to cover both pumpkins with two coats of acrylic paint, allowing 30 minutes of drying time per coat. Remove the decals and discard. If you'd like the numbers or state to be a different color than natural pumpkin orange, fill in using a small paintbrush and contrasting acrylic paint, as we did for the green-and-white pumpkin.

What's not to love about Liz Marie's front porch?  I'm in love with her church pew!  And the way she added accessories through texture is right on.  Her pillows, basket, leather ottoman, and throws all mix perfectly with the natural elements that she's used!

How cute is this front door?!  The chalk art, the crates, and the pinecone garland are so much fun....Did I mention how much I love those crates?!  So pretty!

And how about this vintage box with a colorful mum inside?  Such a simple, rustic touch!

My goodness, this porch is stunning.  And her colors are not your typical autumnal palette, but the soft white mixed with the different blues whisper, "Come and sit awhile.  Curl up under this cozy blanket, lean back against the fluffy pillows, and listen to the crickets making melodies and the gentle breeze blowing through the crisp leaves."  Aaahhh.  Okay, so maybe that sounded a little cheesy, but still, don't you agree that this space is calling your name?!

This inspiring porch is filled with beautiful colors...from the flowers, to the furniture and pillows, to the pumpkins and old window.

I love the simplicity of these pots with the mums!  And her striped rug adds a subtle hint of color.

Cottage Redo

And look at this beauty of a front porch.  The leaves are all placed in just the right spot, and I love how she incorporated furniture with fun, neutral pillows -- gives it the perfect touch!  Also, notice the rustic picket fence, the pretty "farm" sign, and the vintage containers.  Just beautiful!

And yet again, another inspiring front porch pic from Liz Marie's home.  Notice the different heights of her decor, the over-sized letter "G," the vintage items, the fun fabrics and textures and the use of nature.  Such beauty!
