Fall Decorating in Full Swing
So let's look at some stylish fall decorating ideas that add a touch of elegance without breaking the bank or taking up your porch sitting time.
And then we give you suggestions (with some product links) that will help you replicate the look of these pretty porches.
You could do this on your autumn porch!
Simply combine pretty mums and pumpkins on your porch steps.
Leave room to walk. Instant autumn and charm.
Then if you got hardy mums, you can plant them in your garden for color year after year (for most planting zones).
Ooooh! That red retro mailbox and wicker chair. Create this look...
We found a similar postal mailbox (at right) like the one in the porch above.
And it could be painted red too.
The two of us also like the wicker chair (affiliate link); here's a similar one for your porch.
How to get this look: Drape an attractive fall garland over your door and add a complementary wreath.
Stencil "Welcome" on the front door for a most inviting touch.
Garland draped on your porch boosts seasonal charm
You can find beautiful fall garland and autumn wreaths similar to those shown here on
Amazon (affiliate link).
Add your family's initial to personalize your fall door
Purchase a wooden monogram with your initial and combine it with your autumn door hanging.
Want to Replicate This Fall Decorating Style?
Quaint and charming autumn decorated porch
Drape two pieces of inexpensive fall fabric along with autumn berry garland on the back of a bench, add a bright red cushion,
and hang outdoor artwork on your porch to create a most welcoming seasonal array.
Mary and I use an outdoor lamp and timer on our porch to create a sense of warmth for fall evenings.
It's remarkable what a difference the soft lighting makes on our porch in the evenings.
We found similar items on Amazon (affiliate) so you can easily create this same curb appealing array as shown above:
Inexpensive porch bench (affiliate) to stain or paint if you wish.
Red porch bench cushion (affiliate) for striking color
Outdoor floor lamp (affiliate) for subtle light in the evenings
We use a timer on our outdoor lamps like the one at left so we never need to think about turning on / off our porch lamp.
Wall hangings (affiliate) make for great porch appeal and you can pick art that speaks to you.
Mary and I use these vinyl clips on our porch to hang wreaths, outdoor artwork, and more!
Whimsical metal pumpkin decoration
A nice autumn array on the porch steps

Football Fever on the Porch
No matter whether you are a "Friday Nights Lights" or a "Sunday Game Day" (or both) sports fan, support your favorite team with these ideas for your porch and home.
Mary and I discovered some really fun football decorative items that show team spirit and will look fantastic on your porch this season -

Fall Construction
We know many folks build porches, decks, sheds, and other projects in the fall.
Here are a few items Mary and I know can help with your fall construction projects.
Working Alone
Offers oodles of tips and techniques when working alone. (Comes in handy when working with a novice neighbor too!)
Deck Board Straightening Tool
I love this tool; makes quick work of straightening deck or porch boards. Pays for itself with the time you'll save during
construction.
