Although I must say, when buying them, I thought for sure I was being scammed.. anyone else find them expensive this year or is it just me? The price is the same everywhere I went so I guess that's what they cost! They are kind of irresistible so that's how they get us!
I also love potted mums and don't mind forking out for those. The yellow ones I picked up are the best ones I've been around. So full and healthy! They were only two for $12 at Kool Breeze.
Here is what I came up with for the front porch.
The black containers were galvanized buckets from the floral studio at a local grocery store. They were getting rid of them for 50 cents a piece. A couple of coats of black spray paint and they are perfect pots!
These photos are reminding me that I still don't have house numbers.
I also want a nice welcome mat and a wreath. It will come in time!
Cross your fingers that the lovely teenagers of our community leave my pumpkins alone! Although, it's entirely possible that I may have been guilty of that crime back in the day... Young and foolish, we were! In my defense, I was just the getaway driver. :)
I'm linking up to the It's Fall Y'all Door Decor Party.
Your porch looks so welcoming. The mums are a great compliment to the green door. I can see myself relaxing in one of those chairs drinking a cup of coffee.

It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe yellow mums are beautiful! Your porch really turned out well.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you kept the door green. Your fall display is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Jane! I still haven't started decorating for fall yet...your porch will be my inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteYour front porch decorations look just so inviting! I am especially jealous that you got those great buckets for fifty cents each...you did a great job painting them...they look like they cost thirty times that much. I hope your pumpkins get to stay with you through Halloween at least. I saw your post over at "Southern Hospitality".
ReplyDeleteLove the combo of yellow flowers with your lovely green door. I envy the porch. I have a concrete slab basically. One day I will dress it up with an outdoor rug and a white railing (if I can talk my husband into it--he doesn't think it will work on our house). One day...
ReplyDeletelooks great!! i need to do something too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous! The yellow mums really add a great pop of color! The vignette with your chairs looks great too!
ReplyDeletelove the green door! I have my pumpkins, but you've inspired me to go and pick up flowers at lunch time today!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog; i found you via Pink Postcard!
So welcoming and pretty. My favorite part is that fabulous front door!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks just beautiful! Love the fall mums!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to see your door painted black or the color of the yellow pillows. Black would be my first choice and for the address numbers, it might be nice to see those black numbers on the window of the door in lieu of a wreath. It would be a classic, modern asthetic. With all of that black, your flowers and pumpkins would pop. Just a thought:)
Lovely! Simple and chic!
ReplyDeleteI love fall decorating because it's so easy. The pumpkins are no maintenance and the mums are very low maintenance. Unlike the summer decor that wilts and dies. Your porch looks great!
ReplyDeleteLOve the little pot of mums on the table! I need to do that :)
ReplyDeleteLooks so welcoming! I heard there would be a shortage of good pumpkins this year - hence the price.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Jane!!!!!! Always just the getaway driver?????????
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkins look gorgeous - once again, I find myself wishing we celebrated Thanksgiving in New Zealand!

Hi Jane! Love your simple Fall Door Decor! I really love your green door too. I stopped over from the Fall Door link party at Southern Hospitality. Glad I did:) I'm your newest follower. Hope you'll visit The Corson Cottage sometime and consider following:) Your home looks very nice simple, elegant with some pops of modern. Carrie
ReplyDeleteWarm and welcoming, all the perfect touches for Fall, Kathysue
ReplyDeleteDo you remember what paint color you painted your door green? I absolutely love this color and would love to use it on my own front door. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI think it was called Calypso Green.. maybe by ICI paints?
