Hanging on the Porch – Fall Porch Tour

October 17, 2013 By Shannah Coe 73 Comments

Guess what? I am so excited to be a part of the All Things Home Fall Porch Tour for 2013.  The tour is sponsored in part by Hometalk and Front Porch Ideas and More!Fall Porch Tour 2013

I wish I could say my porch came together just as I imagined and that I was totally in love with it.  Reality: we got hit with a semi-monsoon the week I had planned to work on my porch and I couldn’t get outside to do anything.  The rain destroyed some of my plants and just basically made everything so wet.

Finally, on Monday, I was able to get outside and work on the porch a little bit.  I salvaged some of my items and borrowed a few others from neighbors to make my porch come together.  {A big thanks to my  neighbors}.  Let’s take a peek at what I was able to put together.
Front Porch with Welcome_wmI started with my trusty Ikea lanterns and filled the small ones with gourds and pumpkins.  The larger ones got some candles and faux corn.
Close up of small fall lantern_wmInside of Lantern_wmI had purchased some mums for my porch and the rain totally did a number on them.  I was so bummed but was determined to make them work.
Fall Mums on Stand_wmAngled View of Mum_wmThe really large bushel mum ended up needing to be tied to my porch! Crazy, right?!

    Shannah, so sorry the weather was so nasty for you and destroyed some of your decor. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known. You porch looks great, and I love your idea for giving the mums height by putting the pot on top of an upturned planter. Smart!

    Girl, you are just too darn crafty! I love your porch! My idea of decorating was throwing a bunch of pumpkins from the farm into a Red Rider Wagon…….. I am the anti-Martha Stewart of anything creative.

    Hi Shannah! Your porch turned out beautifully despite the rain that you had! Mother Nature sure can produce some stress, right? How wonderful that your neighbors pitched in to help decorate. They must truly understand the life of a blogger!

      My neighbors are awesome! They are definitely always helping out 🙂

    Oh sister I feel your pain. I really do. Mother Nature and her blustery nature- meaning wind ripped my stuff apart three times. I am now over it. Whatever is left will be what there is for Halloween. Your porch came out beautiful. I guess you made a compromise with Mother Nature.
