My Southern Front Porch Dressed in its Fall Finery

I love my porch. Its small and intimate. Not your typical Southern porch that wraps around and never ends. (ok, I want one of those too) But mine is large enough for rockers, and cozy enough that my husband and I can sit there on lazy evenings and watch the deer run through the yard. Amazing. As much as I love my porch, I love Fall. I invite you up onto my porch and sit for a spell. I'll get us some refreshments. :)

    I can't take credit for this wreath. I usually make my own, but this one stole my heart when I saw it.

    I added cuttings of grapevine and twigs from my yard above the door and embellished it with some bittersweet berries.

    Barb, I clicked over to see it all on your blog and everything is gorgeous. Love the color of your front door, by the way!

    Thanks Jane. I call that the door of many colors, red colors that is. I spent more on quarts of red paint than I have ever spent on any one project, and wouldn't you know it my Smarty Pants Painter suggested this off the shelf color which I just knew would NEVER work bc it wasn't a custom mixed color. Color me red with embarrassment. I was wrong and he was right and it was perfect! :)

    Oh thanks Donna and Melissa. It is the prettiest wreath I have ever seen and I love how the red door looks behind it. So glad I did not paint my door blue. LOL

    Thanks Sheila. Wish my porch was about 20x's larger, but I will have to settle for what I have until I inherit my "Tara." LOL
