I did two different fall porches this year...
My goal was to use things I had on hand and not purchase anything additional.
This meant no real pumpkins. So, I gathered together my collection of faux pumpkins, and a dried gourd I picked up in an antique store one year, and placed them in an antique planter - taking center stage on my front porch bench.
I added pinecones and lanterns, a splash of more fall color with the use of a piece of fabric used under the planter and I tucked in sprigs of wheat and reed grass to the centerpiece as well as other items on the bench for additional touches of fall.
I loved it.
It screamed "fall" with all of the pinecones, pumpkins and wheat.
Neighbors loved it too and it really did look pretty.
Done.
Right?
Well...something just wasn't sitting well with me.
It didn't "feel" the way I wanted my Thanksgiving to feel.
Craving charm and simplicity with a warm welcome...
I decided to change things up.
Go see how my second attempt turned out.

KEEPING IT REAL
When Jay came home one night and saw this fall porch decor for the first time his response was, "Wow! We've got a lot going on up here."
And with that...he solidified my own personal feelings for wanting to change it up. Lol
