Here’s a little tour of our Front Porch- with all the glorious “First Day of Fall” feels.

All the pumpkins were home grown by me, except for the three big orange ones. I DID grow that variety, but mine didn’t get as huge. So I cheated and got some from Walmart.

Here’s one of my favorite baby pumpkins from our garden.

Our pup is LOVING the cooler weather.

I used to be scared of orange for fall, but I am HERE FOR IT this year!

And I even broke out the pumpkin lady mug from Chalkfulloflove.

Give me fall every day, pretty please.

I am OBSESSED with how the pumpkins look up against our white “German Schmeared” brick (Tutorial HERE)

And I ADORE the corbels I made for some architectural details on the porch pillars.

Couldn’t leave this one out- it makes me laugh. Haha!

That’s it for  now. Go HERE to see this porch covered in creepy spiders for Halloween.
