Each season I try to update the entry to my home. This year I find myself working a new job and gone over 60 a week so I wanted to make it simple. I used some of the same elements as last fall. However this year instead of using the Christmas transitional color of green, I used cranberry.
Here is the porch last fall:
The wreath is a long garland of berries attached to a birch circle with papier-mâché green apples and a pumpkin.
I left the pot the dark chocolate color I painted it for spring, took out the rose flowers and put in fall faux flowers.
My mom found this Pier 1 runner at a yard sale for $3, I wish it was the size of the whole porch, but perhaps then I wouldn’t be so tempted to use it outside. The colors bounce off the copper door well!
The wicker chair was painted with Rust-oleum Cranberry. The pictures do not do it justice. The color is that deep blood hue that just sings carols in my soul!
It could use a few more coats because the neighbor‘s cat curls up on it at night. ❤️
I have not found the perfect pillow (I’m imagining a shade of brown with “Grateful” scrawled in gold). But the hunt is half the fun! So for now, I keep switching pillows out. 😂
Dark chocolate:
Blue: (uh no!)
Sage:
Last year’s plaid:
The chocolate one is closest but it needs that pop of gold...and of course it could use about 7 more pumpkins!
Don’t you think?
Happy fall ya’ll!
