placement of the scarecrow to achieve different effects.
Dress up your existing mum's pots with gourds and pumpkins to add a bit more "autumn" to your plants.
Traci, Cottage With A Red Door, added autumn "simplicity"
to create a dynamic look for a small porch! The section of fence and sign make for an interesting backdrop
to the mums below. You could also tie cornstalks to the column for added effect.

Don't Limit Yourself to Pumpkins
When decorating your front porch for autumn, you need not be limited to the use of traditional pumpkins. Be creative when coming up with decorating ideas for fall.
Visit your local department and craft stores to look for awesome autumn decorating schemes. You will find samples and ideas that are sure to get your outdoor fall decorating juices flowing. The possibilities are endless!
You might want to attach some corn stalks to the columns or pillars on your porch and accent them with a colorful bow and a small pumpkin or scarecrow. This helps add dimension to the setting.
Bales of hay also add a nice touch. They are very versatile as they provide a stable
base on which to place pumpkins and gourds or to arrange potted plants such as mums.
As your autumn decorating progresses, add a little flurry of color by weaving some fall leaf garland around the hay bale.
Use colorful wreaths on your door or window.
Wreaths come in so many amazing styles, shapes and colors. They are not all round!
If you are even a little creative, you can make your own with just a few materials.

Think "arrangements" when decorating for autumn. Unless you have a large singular-type fall piece, placing both large
and small items together makes for a more pleasing look as in the photo above.

Rose of Sharon's Autumn Porch Decorating Ideas
A little bit country and a whole lot appealing, Sharon's autumn decorated porch is fun to explore. We love this
screen door too!
Always fun to use, a wheelbarrow display works really well on almost any porch. Versatile, you use it to hold
mums and other colorful fall plants, pumpkins and gourds, or a combination of both.
What a neat arrangement. The tub with floating candles adds lots of interest along with the whimsical scarecrow.
Stack old crates, or new ones, to make a fun autumn display. Fill the crates or use them as shelves as Sharon has done.
Mary and I like this. An old window frame with chicken wire makes for a nifty hanging piece of fall artwork.
Adorn has Sharon has or add other autumn elements as well. Kids would have fun I'm sure, decorating the wire with
branches, leaves, nuts, and other items. You could also turn this into a Christmas holiday art piece too.
