Fall Front Porch Decorating Dilemma

I have a confession to make.

I don't decorate my front porch. 

There, I said it. 

It's not very big, and the ugly black metal screen door isn't exactly eye candy. 


But after bringing home a few pretty Cinderella pumpkins I decided it was time to step it up. 

{The beautiful piano bench was about to be thrown out at my work so of course I immediately claimed it. I like it just the way it is, but I'm not making any promises that it will stay that way!}

So anyway, then my design ADD came out and I couldn't decide what I wanted.






Recognize that branch? It's the rest of the huge branch I picked up on the side of the road, which I showed you in my fall dining room post.


So I tried out three different styles but I can't decide which I like best. 

So I thought I'd leave it up to you my friends!

  1. I like # 1, I love flowers on porches. I am curious as to how it would look with the stool included in #1. I'm probably no help at all because I love the stool and the flowers. They all look good so you can't go wrong with any of them!

  2. I'd say #1 too although I really like the throw added in the last pic. They all look fabulous though!

  3. Could you put the flowers on the stool seat? The stool looks great, but I agree with Ellen, a porch needs flowers! Not much help at all really, sorry!

  4. Definitely Number 3!
    It looks stylish and cosy at the same time and very inviting!
    Well I for one can't stand the yellow flowers, they ruin the whole look of the otherwise very pretty and succeeded neutral fall vignette!
    Sending you Happy Fall wishes from Germany

    P.S.: Found you through your ingenous canning yar lid pumpkin on Pinterest

  5. I'm with everyone else. I love the pop from the yellow mums, but I also love the throw and the stool. What about replacing the boots with the mums??

  7. I like #1, love the pop of color from the mums, in fact I'm buying some Friday for my front porch:)

  8. Gonna muddy the waters here-I really like # 3! The throw makes it look soooo inviting-take your boots off and stay awhile! The pop of color from the mums is pretty-but I think it overwhelms it. So--# 3 would be my pick! Blessings, Sharon

  10. They are all beautiful!!! I think I favor #3 cause it makes me want to take my shoes off and curl up!!!

  11. I really like #3, but the practical part of me worries about your blanket getting dirty being left outside. :) My second choice is #1. You can never go wrong with flowers. They all look great though!

  15. I LOVE #3--love the boots..of course I love the cinderella pumpkins, I also brought one home this year, now have to figure out how to keep it looking good.I told a farmer friend of mine that I would save the seeds for him....I also told him he HAd to plant white pumpkins next year.

  16. I vote for a combination of 1 and 2. #3 is lovely but in my mind it would be better in the entry way. If I left a shawl and boots outside they would be ruined in no time by the heat, or dust, or some other form of weather.

  17. I like #3, but maybe you could still work in the beautiful pot of mums along with it? They all look very autumnal and welcoming, though! Great job!!!

  18. 3!! I love the boots and the blue. :) I live in an apartment so I don't really have a porch. The most decorative I get is hanging a new flag on my mini-garden flag stand...when I remember.

  19. I like porch #1, the yellow mums give it a great pop of color and add that warm touch of fall. I decorate my porch for all the holidays &
    seasons. My porch has lots of burgundy mums and fall arrangements. Happy Fall.

  20. I would love to see the mums on the stool and include the boots. I think they all look great, but I do love the stool and the boots and the mums and and and...

    ReplyDelete
  21. I love all of your choices, but think #1 is my favorite. The bright colored mums play off the pumpkins well and will do well outside. I have that exact grey throw from Target too. It is so nice! I use it in my family room all the time to cover up with when watching tv.

  22. They're all too cute- it's hard choose! I personally love #1 I think, the flowers add a pop of color with the cute tin can its in! Love them all, great inspiration for my own porch!! Thanks! :D

  23. Or could you put the mums IN the boots, for #3?? Too much?? LOL! They're all so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  24. #1 is the best. I like the flowers but unsure of that chair. Add the shawl to pic number 1. maybe bring another mum in the piture. I used an owl from the 2.50$ bin at target and it brought apunch of orange on my portch along with the pumpkins and mums I have.

  25. Try removing black planter with branches and replace it with the mums, put the boots in front of them and put the Cinderella pumpkins on the stool.

  26. I like #3 :) But, I think they are all beautiful. Megan

  27. I LOVE #3, the boots and throw totally make it!

  28. Coming to you from Inspiration Friday! You have some great items to decorate with! I love #1, because of the yellow mum. Great pop of color! But I love that stool too! I'm torn! ha! Maybe you could somehow use them both and put another flower or pumpkin on the stool! I do love the old door for the background! :)

  29. I love ALL of them! So hard to decide! I think I am leaning toward 3.... maybe?

  31. Has to be number three for me!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Number 3 but incorporate the flowers somehow

  33. Stack the pumpkins on the urn surrounded by the branches and leave the mum in the bucket.
