Hi friends! I’m back with a little Fall front porch makeover – using what I had and what I could gather around the property and from the garden.
I really just did exactly the same thing I did last year. I got out the same bows I’d made a few years back, pillow covers and fabrics, and of course I gathered from the property and garden. I always grow pumpkins, gourds sand marigolds specifically for using on the porch.
These bows are just made from scraps of fabric, and it’s something I’ve been doing for years.
I found some rose hips from the quite invasive multi-flora rose to use here, and although they’re super thorny, they almost look like bittersweet. I’ve been growing bittersweet for a while, but mine is never pretty enough to use.
It’s been super hot here so we really don’t have the colored leaves I usually get, but there were a few sourwood and dogwood branches with a little color. I gathered golden rod and marigolds then added in some of mother’s zinnias.
The gourds and mini pumpkins here were all volunteers in the back yard.
I gathered some hydrangeas to add to this antique watering can along with some sourwood, black eyed susans and golden rod. The solar lanterns are so nice at night – and they’ve also come in handy when the power is off.
I love how it turned out! Honestly, just getting it cleaned up from summer would have been enough! I am hoping and praying for some cooler more normal weather here soon, and also for everyone else suffering from this extreme heat. I’m so ready for fall!!

Thank you Marlene!! I can’t wait for cooler weather and no bugs for sure😂
Gorgeous, and I’m totally in love with your dark moody porch…which is super for ‘fluffing’. I’m opening an antique boot (age 78) next month…and one corner is going to be this moody dark green, I’ll call it Whispering Greens! Hugs, Sandi
