Pumpkin Urns Front Porch Decor

14 years ago

I found these large faux pumpkins at GW. One was $1.99 cause it was empty, the other was $3.99 cause it had some silk florals in it. I divided the florals between the 2, added some fresh cattails, and some more florals and placed them in the urns that usually hold faux pine trees.

The wreath was $1.06 at another TS and all I had to do was rearrange some of the decor on it.

My scarecrow in the corner is yrs old and his burlap clthes had faded and looked very drab so....another trip to GW and some "new" kids overalls and flannel shirt and he looks great again.

The whole view. The doormat is new and from a catalog this year.

Happy Fall Y'all.

TTFN,

Candy

I love it. I love ALL of it.
Candy the Super Shopper has struck again! ;o)

You have such a wonderful porch to decorate, I'm very green with envy over it. Including the brickwork. In fact, you'll probably keep me 'green' right thru the first of year. LOL.

Hey Squirrel, thanks for the heads up about zipdee's thread, her porch is gorgeous. And I live in southwest Tennessee by the way.My goal is to keep those ferns alive and not let them know I have a black thumb! bonniee, Thaks for the link to the Christmas picture. I'm planning to decorate my urns somehow for the holidays too. They are much too heavy to move around too much! Your porch is beautiful, the wreaths in windows are one of my favorite looks. I did get the bigger size urns by the way, did you see the picture farther down? kswl - Thank you, I'm glad most everyone thinks the new planters are good. I wish I had researched size/material/pricing a little better before I got in so deep. I'm pleased with my iron ones. I've placed a tile under each to hopefully prevent staining. BUT if I had known what it was going to end up costing for this size I would've kept looking for composite. I just got in deep and kept going but it's done now and I just got off an 80 hr work week (I usually work 25) so the overtime will certainly buy my urns :-)

Such a pretty home! Perfect for Fall decor. :) As mentioned, searching for ideas will bring up countless wonderful pictures and inspiration. I use a lot of pumpkins for my display and have found chain grocery stores in my area have the best prices. I like to mix sizes and colors. Another idea is to buy the faux ones (Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, etc) to re-use every year. The two stores I mentioned are already having sales, plus you can use their coupons. Keep an eye out for garage sales, FB Marketplace, etc, too ... I’m already seeing them with people selling holiday decor. I stopped buying real pots of mums and started using faux floral displays mixed in with real ornamental grasses and such. I think a straw bale display would look nice in the half circle area (where the little round table is). One bale, a few pumpkins, a scarecrow, a rusty bucket or wagon ... something along those lines. I hope you’ll update us with “after” pictures! ETA: Just noticed your little cutie in the window! If you do any Halloween decorating, I think friendly “ghosts” (using sheets, gauze, whatever) would be cute hanging from your plant hooks in that bed. Or bats, etc.

The area below the little window on your porch is a perfect spot for a bench with a back. Check out the nice ones in interesting colors at Grandinroad.com. A large pot between the bench and the door with pretty flowers, tying into the annuals that you plant in your flower bed (New Guinea Impatiens?) would look great, too. And a simple door mat in front of your door. Your home looks great! (I am a edging fanatic and would also urge you to enlarge and edge the bed in front of your living room window so that there is a space in front of your shrubs to plant your annuals, too.). Good luck!

Candy, you did a wonderful job on those urns, and
your front entry has such a festive and inviting look.
I also like the variety of pumpkins and gourds you used in your display. Everything says 'Fall Is Here' !

Those urns are so classy looking and what great bargains. Our local thrift stores, hardly have any fall decor. Your entry way is so inviting, I love the variety of pumpkins and squash.

OMG, what a lovely Autumn porch! Your neighbors must be so happy to look out and see your house. I really like the new pumpkin floral displays in your urns and am totally blown away by the price you got them for! Are the other veggies real or faux? I'd love to find some faux ones that large, as packrats, rabbits, and even coyotes would eat any real ones I put out on my porch.

That was a great buy! I am surprised they weren't snapped up immediately.
They look great on your porch as does your scarecrow!

Thank you for the wonderful comments.

Everything there is faux except the cattails and the hay bales. The hay bales are years old as are most of the pumpkins/gourds. I bought many of them after the season was over for 80-90% off although 1 or 2 were bought with 50% off coupons in season.

My neighbors brought their baby daughter over several years ago and put her in front of the hay and pumpkins and we put some more pumpkins around her for them to take a picture. They said it was cheaper than paying a professional photographer. LOL
They have 3 children now and the 2 oldest just love to come over and look at the decorations, especially at Christmas.

TTFN,

Hey, what a great idea...Fall backdrop for family portraits! ;o)
Seriously, its neat your neighbors get to enjoy your decor and I'm sure its such a treat for the children. They will always remember "the house next door"
and who knows, you might influence their decorating when they grow up and have families!

What a delightful front porch arrangement - your pumpkin urns are exactly what I want to do when I remove the boston ferns in the next week or so. Refurbishing the scarecrow with childrens clothes is a great idea - will tuck that away in the memory bank. And last but not least how cool that your neighbors choose your setting for pictures of their children. TFSing .....
