Rustic Metallic Fall Porch

It was quite the weekend around here! We celebrated my two boys’ joint birthday party (pics coming soon), my phone was stolen while I was getting the balloons filled for the party, the kids were on a sugar high and somehow I got my fall porch done! Whew!

Decorating my porch is one of my favorite things so I decided to ask a few other bloggers to share their fall porches too! This whole week there will be 18 bloggers sharing their fall porches in a fun hop. You can hop around using the links below or follow on Instagram with the hashtag #FallPorchHop 

I don’t decorate for every season or holiday. I typically just change things up for spring, fall and winter, but when I do, I like to stick with an overall theme. This year, I’m loving the dark rich neutrals mixed with metallics and a little bit of an orangy rust color. A little more traditional fall than I have done in the past.

I am horrible at keeping things alive in planters, especially in the shade. So I decide to ‘plant’ cornstalks instead! It’s hard to tell from the pics but the cornstalks are actually coming out of the middle of the planters and are surrounded by tons of white pumpkins! Oh how I love love white pumpkins. It’s seriously an obsession. Our house is covered in them.

I just loved my paint drip pumpkins I showed earlier this month, so I did a few more for the porch! I always like to add subtle accents, and this time I added a few mini paint drip pumpkins into the arrangement.

And I’m pretty sure every fall porch has to have some mums! They are so vibrant and instantly bring character to a space.

Sometimes I wish I had a big porch with wrap around deck so i could have a cute little bench or sitting area out front, but our little space will do :)

Oh neutrals.. you make my heart go pitter patter.

Now it’s time to porch hop! Be sure to head over to anderson + grant next!
