Elegant Fall Porch

Sharing is caring!

More fall fun is happening around here! Decorating our porch for the different seasons is one of my favorite things to do. I always say, if you only have time/budget for minimal seasonal decor, start with your porch! It’s the place that most people can see and it makes your home feel welcoming. This weekend I finished up our Elegant Fall Porch Design for this year. You can also scroll down to see 13 other fall porches from other home decor bloggers. 

Elegant Fall Porch
This Elegant Fall Porch design can be easily recreated using millet plants, kale and tons of faux white pumpkins!

For this year’s fall porch design, I knew white pumpkins would be involved. Lots of them! But that was a given since I have actually only used white pumpkins on my porch since I started decorating it years ago. For the overall look, I wanted to go with a more modern, elegant and classy look. I’ve been using a lot of deep earth tones in my fall decor this year and I think this millet grass was the perfect touch.

This Elegant Fall Porch design can be easily recreated using millet plants, kale and tons of faux white pumpkins! I have actually really liked the past few fall porches I’ve done at this house, I did a black, white and red fall porch, and then last year did a mixture of brown tones mixed with metallics. I loved both of them, so I incorporated elements from both previous porches into this one.

Porch Decorated With White Pumpkins

White pumpkin topiary in modern black planter! Easy porch decor for fall!I made these pumpkin topiaries a few years ago and decided to bring them back out this year. I think they have such a timless and classy look and they really frame the door way.

White pumpkins are seriously my fall love language. You can honestly never have too many of them. You don’t want to know how many boxes of I have of them in the garage! And that leads me to my next point, yes these are ALL faux pumpkins. I am typically not someone who likes a lot of faux flowers and plants, but over the years Michaels has really perfected their faux pumpkins and gourds. I think they are so realistic looking and the best part is I just pack them away and don’t have to buy them again every season!

You may also notice my paint dripped pumpkins from last year. This was one of my favorite fall DIY’s from last year and apparently your’s too! They even ended up on People.com :)

This Elegant Fall Porch design can be easily recreated using millet plants, kale and tons of faux white pumpkins! I have never used millet before. I have actually never even really noticed it before until this year.  I was at the local nursery picking out plants for our huge landscaping project (I’ll blog about it soon!) and these millet plants caught my eye. I loved how they resembled corn stalks and had this beautiful deep color to them. I knew I wanted them to be part of my fall decor this year.

    Wonderful varied presentation on your front porch Taryn. Keeps the eyes looking from one object to another. Love that kale and all of it. Had no idea what millet grass was, really pretty.
    I too love the white pumpkins with misc. decorations on them.
    Haven’t done any front porch or interior decorating as yet. Mr. Furry requested a later introduction of Fall decorations last year than what I used to do. So will wait now til end of September before I get started on living room. Front porch maybe in next few days. Depends on weather, has been blowing like crazy and some hard rains so don’t want what I do to get ruined. When it blows out here is like a tornado, no kidding.
    Had been working on items for a craft show but realized is getting to be too much for me. Either keep house clean and tidy or work on craft items, can’t seem to do both anymore without exhaustion, price of being 77.Hard to admit but life is as it is. So will call venue tomorrow to let them know. Mr.Furry didn’t really want to do show, knows how I am. Thought about it all day then told him, he was relieved. I will make some new decorations I got from a wonderful botanical blog hop was lucky to come across this week. That will be more than enuf with what I already have.
    Enjoy your weekend

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
