Autumn Porch Ideas
Hey there! We spent the weekend finishing up our front porch and we had so much fun doing it. We are in the middle of an exciting time (albeit scary) with our shop opening in two weeks (eeekkkk!) and Ive been feeling really festive so going all out on the decor was something I really wanted to do this year. And if you read this post, you know why decorating for fall is so special to me. So, heres what we did.....
I started by making the trick or treat pillow cover out of burlap and canvas dropcloth to cover the orange dot pillow that I had on the porch from the summer. Then I cut out a patch of dropcloth and stenciled Trick of Treat on the front using the font Stampete. I enlarged the font to 250 on the computer and printed it out, cut it out and stenciled it on using black and orange paint. After it was dry, I sewed it on the burlap, attached a couple of ties to the end, and put it on the existing pillow.
We recently replaced our porch swing with a newer one and I wanted to add a couple of pillows to it for fall. Black is a color I dont normally include in our decor but I thought black pillows for the porch for fall would be something different and add a touch of class, as well as, be perfect for Halloween. I had trouble finding the right black fabric so I purchased a black fabric shower curtain and attached this natural looking ribbon in an X pattern to the front. I love how they turned out.
I dont usually buy corn stalks, hay, pumpkins and mums in the fall for our front porch decor but I really wanted to this year. Usually I leave out the corn stalks but this year they seem really festive.
Im not a fan of the ugly plastic pots that mums come in so I simply wrapped them in my leftover burlap fabric and tied with a piece of hemp twine.
My hubby recently came across this old railroad kerosene light at an auction. We took the guts out and I put a candle inside. As much as Id like to keep it, it will be for sale in our shop. :)
He also found this vintage wooden egg crate so I turned it into a planter and stuck a pot of mums inside.
I also added a couple more to another crate that we used to have on the back porch. I love the time worn feel old crates add, as well as, the wood texture.
I like the wonderful muted colors of these heirloom pumpkins better than the orange kind when it comes to decor so I picked up a few. We save the orange pumpkins for the fun jack o lanterns we carve when it gets closer to Halloween. :)
I love fall!!
We also love lights on the porch all year long so we just string them up on the top inside of the porch. They create a warm cozy glow in the evenings that you cant help but enjoy. :)
Have you decorated your porch for fall or Halloween yet?
P.S. Ive received a lot of emails asking the location of our shop and I will share that info in an upcoming post.

A Porch In My Finish Room A Full Size Mockup
9/24/09 The furniture made it to its porch in Boston this week ...
And what a grand porch it was ... I was thinking the coffee table might be tight, but instead, it couldnt have been any smaller for the sclae of the porch ... perfect!
8/27/09
Im working with some friends/clients on furniture for their porch. Its a beautifu, spaciousl porch on a grand old home and we want to do it justice without filling it up so much that it feels crowded. I fooled around with a couple different layouts in my cad program and now that we have finished the chairs, were working on a size and shape for the coffee table. Fortunately , the client had stopped by last week just as the table/desk shown in a recent post was leaving and happened to get a good view of it just before we loaded it up. She had seen the wood at Open Studio back in May and coincidentally I had the smallest of the three slabs still on hand. The porch is longer than my finish room, but I had enough room to layout and mockup the business part where most of the furniture will go in full size, including the slab for the coffee table. We set it up on some scrap plywood that was a little shorter than I would have designed it, but it turned out it that lower was perfect. Good for feet, can also double as a bench, emphasizes the horizontal length of the seating layout and does a good job of standing up to the overall space of the porch ... Looks like itll work, and totally reinforces the concept of mocking things up in full size WHENEVER YOU CAN cause they always look different in person than they do on paper or in your minds eye. No substitute for the real thing, the real size, AND the real height. Taping it out on the floor just wont do .... Check it out ... Click the pictures to enlarge them ...
The actual porch
First Layout
Final Layout
The chairs in the shop ... 4 fixed, two rockers ... The real cushions will be ready next week
