Hello! We just got back from a wonderful family camping trip and I have lots of pictures to share, but first I want to participate in Melissa's "Porches on Parade" event!
My front porch is a small area, but I managed to squeezed in my garden table and piled it high with mini hay bales, pumpkins, apples, and Indian corn.
This grapevine swap with white lights has been up for many years. I added a leaf garland for Autumn.
Thank you for looking at my cozy front porch!
Please visit The Inspired Room to see other porches or to join in the fun!
Hi Kelli -
ReplyDeleteYour porch is gorgeous. I wish mine were big enough to add a little table and chair. I think I'll have to work on something special tomorrow. My wreath is up but that's all. I have a few things I wasn't sure about but you inspired me and I think I have a plan. Thanks for sharing with us. Can't wait to hear about your camping trip.

Hi Kelli! Wow your front porch is beautiful! The squirrels in my neighborhood would love it too, "FREE BUFFET!" Just kidding! No wait, if I put apples out, my children would have eaten them by now just as well as the little grey guys! Very pretty anyways, I will have to check out the other porches in the morning!
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful--love the bricks. Our porch is very stucco, post-war tract home style--blah right now. You've inspired me again.
ReplyDeleteYou make everything so pretty and homey!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful idea - your porch is aa treat to view! We dont do this over here, but one can dream right? maybe one day!
ReplyDeletevery nice and welcoming :)
ReplyDeleteI love your porch!! It turned out adorable! Really fall, warm and welcoming to scarecrows and ghouls!
ReplyDeleteLooks GREAT, Kelli!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Kelli!
ReplyDeleteYour porch is beautiful, Kelli! I love how you always manage to make even the smallest spaces absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful display Kelli!
ReplyDeleteYour front porch is awesome Kelli! I haven't done any outside work...yet :). Again, you are such an inspiration for me to get busy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday!
Kathi :)
Hi Kelli!
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks very pretty and festive! I haven't done a thing outside yet. It's been in the 80's, I've been wearing shorts and short sleeves! It's hard to feel fallish when it's still so hot and all my summer flowers are still blooming. But hopefully I'll feel like this week since we are finally getting some cooler weather!
Manuela
It looks wonderful, Kelli! :)
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteAs usual you did an exceptional job.Thanks for sharing and I will go check out the other porches. Have a blessed day!

ReplyDeleteSmiles ~ Ramona
great porch! i love the lights you added. hope your trip was lots of fun. can't wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the lighted garland.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful porch, although I am not surprised seeing how it is yours. This looks like something right out of a magazine. Such love and care taken to make it so warm and welcoming. I'd love to see what you could do with my porch!
ReplyDeleteR...
Oh, how pretty! I have a pumpkin, but that is about it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous porch. I especially love the lighted garland.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
I love your porch! I secretly am glad that I don't live next door to you though because I'd have anxiety about my lack of decorating!
ReplyDeleteHow, beautiful, Kelli - and so inviting! Your front porch definitely says WELCOME!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, welcoming entry. I love the lighting in the swag. I am sure the whole neighborhood must enjoy walking by and seeing such a pleasant fall decor.
ReplyDeleteYour porch is decorated beautifully kelli!!! I love it! :) thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteYour front porch is p-e-r-f-e-c-t. The table piled high with all the Fall goodies, the wreath is gorgeous, the vine with the twinklin lights, even the picture on the wall...everything. It's all so perfect!
ReplyDeleteOk, it's official. I'm jealous.;-)
K-
Even the lantern. And the berry sprig behind the pumpkin on the chair. And the sign on the shelf of the table. Oh, I just can't get enough!
ReplyDeleteK-
Your porch decorations really must make visitors to your home feel quite welcome.
ReplyDeleteJust right for fall!
xo
wow how creative- love all your ideas-
ReplyDeleteOk now. I'm beginning to feel like a stalker here, being my 3rd trip back to your porch. LOL But I had to tell you, I bookmarked this page. Hope you don't mind. I love your wreath so much, I'd like to use it for inspiration to make myself a new one next year. Mine's VERY old and VERY delapidated.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm leaving now. Really.;-)
K-
Beautiful. I wish my porch looked half as good. It is so inviting and makes you want to walk up and knock on the door.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful porch. I love your mums. I went to the front porch site you suggested. How fun is that!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, everything looks amazing. I love the little table and chair you decorated! That looks wonderful and cozy. Would love to come for a visit-you are a little bit of a drive from S. Calif!! Hahaha, this was a wonderful visit!
ReplyDeleteThank you
Debbie
Wonderful! Just delightful!
ReplyDeleteYour porch is beautiful. Of course, I want to copy you and go buy more stuff for mine. HE! HE!
ReplyDeleteI missed your "Week-End Chit Chat" but I am happy that you and your family got to go camping.
I made the Pumpkin Cookies you posted last week-end. They were wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
Hope you have a blessed week. Debbi :-)
Everything looks so pretty ~ I especially love the garland. Little white lights make it all so lovely.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing photos of your camping trip.
Porches on Parade...HOW FUN! I love your porch, Kelli! It's great! Very welcoming and fall festive!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli - your porch looks so warm and cozy and pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteWow you did it again! Beautiful =)
ReplyDeleteIt looks adorable - I love the little arrangement on the table. I would try something like that but we get too much wind, I practically have to nail down everything I put out there.
ReplyDeleteYour porch is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh My! How pretty!!
ReplyDeleteKelli, your porch decorating is beautiful! Love the little table vignette! I think I'm going to borrow that grapevine with lights idea. It can go from Autumn details to Christmas, right? What a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteMan, the only "Fall" decoration on my front porch right now is all the spiderwebs. Unfortunately, it's not intentional.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to hear about your camping trip! I'm doing a week of blog posts regarding camping because this weekend we are planning to take our last trip of the year.
Have a wonderful day!
Kelli! WOW! Your front porch is amazing. I love it. I adore all the little details you've put there. so welcoming!
ReplyDeleteGlad you played along, I enjoyed my visit to your porch!!!
xo
Blessings,
Melissa
Hi Kelli
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks amazing. I am so jealous of you. I would love a porch like that to decorate. In England porches are usually totally enclosed and not open to the elements. I have a small enclosed porch but it's just somewhere to keep our coats and shoes and it's cold in there!
I am looking forward to hearing about your camping trip.
Lindsay
Another sweet walk around your home.
ReplyDeleteI love the front porch. So cozy.
Have a blessed day.
Love the way it turned out! The lights are beautiful! It makes it really sparkle in there!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful looking porch. I wish I had a porch. It looks so very cozy. I love all those Autumn decorations !!!
Kelli you always have such great ideas. I love the lights and grapevine idea and the colors are just beautiful. My time of the years. Thx for stopping by my blog. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks beautiful! We have so much wind where we live that's it's difficult for me to keep anything nice on my porch! I find it blown over all the time.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your porch! It should be in a magazine...I also absolutely love those little lights. Little lights like that always make a place look quaint, don't you think? :)
Michelle
Kelli-
ReplyDeleteYou are a marvel! You have one of the most charming porch areas ever!!!
Kelli, It is absolutely fabulous! It looks like we have the same table and chairs on our porches. In summer we always fill it up with plants, but our fall porch is rather sadly deficient. I like to have the plants to make a kind of screen to sit behind, but I've yet to come up with anything like that for the fall. I suppose cornstalks, if I could think of a good way to arrange them.
ReplyDeleteNancy
Love the grapevine swag. Your home is your pallette.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kelli, it is so pretty. Very inviting.
ReplyDeleteHow fun... you've got an adorable porch.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks so cozy and welcoming! Are the apples real? They make fake ones so realistic now-can't tell:)
ReplyDeleteReally cute though!
~Linda C
What a welcome, The table I love it and the garland is wonderful. You have such great ideas. Looking forward to the camping trip, tent, RV, cabin, ??? I know your children loved it.

ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteYour porch is wonderful! It is so welcoming and lovely. It is one of my favorites!
Beth
Kelli, your porch is so pretty and most welcoming. I love the wreath on your door and the grapevine wreath is a favorite of mine ...especially with the little lights. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteEvening, Kelli! Oh, your porch is just so lovely and fallen!! I love your wreath and that grapevine with the lights. What a beautiful entry into your home!!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh Kelli everything looks beautiful...I love the way you did the front entrance with all that natural Fall bounty and I love that lighted grapevine idea...I use to have a big grapevine thingy at the top of my foyer filled with Fall leaves and gourds and grapevine balls...I kept it that way for years....hummm..I don't know why I ever took it down...I loved that look! lol Great post girl...have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful porch...you've really done a wonderful job, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteWe don't really have a front porch with our current house, but tomorrow, I'm definitely sprucing up my front porch...um...area! LOL
We do have a few pumpkins and a big, friendly scarecrow there, though.
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful outdoor decor with us!
Wow, thats absolutely gorgeous. Where in Texas do you live???
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks great, Kelli. Your door is so pretty, and I love the vines and lights above it with your autumn leaves.
ReplyDeleteThat is just SO pretty. Mine, I might add, is a collection of apples in boxes waiting for me to sort them (plus some bags to go to a friend's pigs - being bartered for eggs), and some gardening gloves, trowel, secateurs etc . . . Oh and bits of hay probably too!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! You have such a lovely blog!
ReplyDelete~Susan
Hey Kelli,
ReplyDeleteLove your front porch. I love those small hay bales. We don't have those around here, or at least I haven't found them. They're the perfect size for a porch display. Thanks for sharing!
I love your porch...mine is not covered so we dont do much to it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Crystal
Lovely!, lovely! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAll is charming and lovely!
Have a great day--Kelli!
Blessings to You!

I just had to tell you that your page has inspired me to make our apartment feel more like home.
ReplyDeleteLooking through your ideas I see so many things that can be done without spending a bunch of money or even being overly crafty. I will absolutely be on the lookout for things at thrift shops, yard sales and everywhere else for items to make this home. Thank you!!!!!!!
How homey and welcoming!
ReplyDeleteYour porch wins hands down. I haven't decorated yet, I am so far behind. You have a wonderful eye for putting things together just right, Happy Halloween, Mary
ReplyDeleteI love it....so homey....great look.
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty Kelli. LOL! I feel like I'm always saying the same thing each time that I visit you, but it's true! Everything always looks pretty, welcoming and simply charming at your home, and your porch does too!
ReplyDeleteHello dear Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI'm back from my trip and now trying to catch up with everyone! Omigosh, how I love the way you decorated your front porch, it looks gorgeous and so very welcoming!! I don't have a porch like that but I have a front deck that might work for a display like that...hmmmmm! lol You're giving me ideas:-) xoxo
Hi Kelli ....
ReplyDeleteWow...your house looks as great outside as it does inside. You really are a great decorator . It all looks cozy & inviting .
:o) Sue
Kelli, I have to say your porch is one of the prettiest on of all the ones I have seen. I just love how the fall colors look with the brick of your home!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, your front porch is lovely and it looks so festive for the fall season.
ReplyDeleteLove, Ann
Your decorations are beautiful. The apples look so real.
ReplyDeleteYour porch is gorgeous, Kelli!! Makes me want to run outside now and spiffy mine up a good bit! What a beautiful area to greet guests!!
ReplyDeleteHis,
Mrs. U
You have a beautiful porch,I have a large porch but never seem to get it to look as beautiful as yours.You have done an awesome job.Love the fruit and garland with the lights.
ReplyDeleteHi, I love seeing your porch at autumn, so much for the eyes to enjoy! I have been thinkig how to add apples to my decor, and your little basket is so simple yet effective! Thank you for the inspiration.....
ReplyDeletePriscilla x
You've inspired me to create my own front porch garland (actually, my dear hubby did it all!). Thank you for the fantastic idea! You can see our version here: www.restorationplace.typepad.com
ReplyDeleteBlessings...Kathy
Gorgeous - I'm inspired but as a previous commenter said I'm not sure how long the edibles would last. But then my patio has lots of bird feeders already there and they'd probably presume this was too :)
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful Fall decor! And I love your porch! All your beautiful cards and your tablescapes, they are all just gorgeous. And an etsy shop??? Perfect idea, now I know where to go to get all these awesome things you create, yeah for me!!!!
Oh I have been so busy with home and school and the kids and home and school oh and did I mention the kids???lol.... Hope to be visiting you more often, I miss all my bloggy gals!!! Oh and the Texas fair!! I have always said I wanted to go to Texas when the fair was going on, maybe next year!
