Hello and welcome to Life Love Larson blog! If you are hopping over here from Little Brags blog, I’m happy you are here! I’m excited to be a part of a Fall Festival Blog Tour hosted by Kendra at Joy in Our Home! Today is all about porches, but every day is a different theme related to fall! Links for all 30 blog posts at the end of this post!
I’m sharing our fall front porch today! I like to switch things up on the porch towards the beginning of September. That’s usually when I can start to find mums and pumpkins. Although this year, it seems sort of silly to decorate for fall when the temps in Kansas City have been in the high 80’s all month! It’s finally supposed to cool down starting today – yay!
I usually start to decorate the porch for Halloween a week or so into October, so for our “fall” porch, I like to keep things pretty simple, with a few subtle changes. The hydrangeas from our summer porch were still going strong, so I decided to keep them and incorporate them into this fall porch. I like the way the summer meets fall here, and I love the wine colored mums against the pink hydrangeas. These ginormous red mums are from Costco! They were absolutely huge this year. Such a pretty statement.
I made this wreath for fall and it’s a favorite of mine! I’m not typically drawn to traditional fall decor/colors, so I thought this was a nice transition with hues of plum, blush, wine, pink, and some greenery.
I love having a covered porch so much! We use our porch often (coffee sipping, drinks with friends, watching kids play) and comfortable seating is a must! We have had these black rocking chairs for years and I just keep spray painting them year after year. We previously lived in the south for 10 years, and I have always been drawn to a lovely porch with rockers. It seems so inviting!
I decided to keep the black/white striped pillows on the rockers for fall. They seem to show up the best when looking at our home from the street. I added a blanket scarf to each of the rockers (Target Dollar Spot) for some texture and color. I love how these colors play off the mums/hydrangeas/wreath! You can never go wrong with stripes and plaid!
I picked up this little black table recently at Target (a $10 score)! It’s big enough to display a plant and big enough to set a drink down. Grocery store pumpkins and a kale plant round out this little area. Simple and chic and unfussy!
And on the weekends in the fall our flag situation looks like this…Go Hawkeyes!
And you can see that I’ve been moving pumpkins around and adding new ones! I equally love orange and white pumpkins.
And here is a final shot of our porch from the street. I love curb appeal! I love yard work and maintaining and yard and flowers and landscaping. It’s one of my things. The reality is that most people who drive/walk by your home will never step foot in the front door, so it makes sense to decorate the outside of your home too!
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out our porch! Cheers to fall and porch rocking! If you are interested in seeing the inside of our home, click here to see my latest fall home tour! xo
