Fall Front Porch and Patio

There is a new linky party tomorrow with Porches Decorated for Fall so I thought I would share mine! We have a teeny, tiny entrance but I try to make the most of it. But then we built the patio last year and that is where the FUN happens:):) I am sharing both with you and will share some more tomorrow!! So, please come back!!! I love to make my home feel warm, cozy and inviting all the time but when Fall arrives it takes on new meaning. Ther change of the season makes me want to invite everyone to come share all this beauty!!! I bought this urn, new this year, and filled it with a caladium, some coleus and impatiens for the Summer. The caladium and coleus are still beautiful so I just added a gourd and a cabbage, which is FAUX!! The pumpkin is faux as well. This area gets NO sun so I don't put alot of real things here. The green plant is one of my houseplants that has lived out here all summer.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0nuCTpFjnVYJGzgIIihRI7Oc5Wn1zS1oJbMamoWedI_IJVIiVcnxG343NYrxbEoe_aWy_Sfyh0yosNWXw694G7rgnV4Qm-FTvHZEYdBRbFPlGek7W1AZYNPpmRddVu9wj7JV2seKbi-qg/s1600/IMG_1887_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0nuCTpFjnVYJGzgIIihRI7Oc5Wn1zS1oJbMamoWedI_IJVIiVcnxG343NYrxbEoe_aWy_Sfyh0yosNWXw694G7rgnV4Qm-FTvHZEYdBRbFPlGek7W1AZYNPpmRddVu9wj7JV2seKbi-qg/s1600/IMG_1887_2.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> One of my mums, they are all blooming and may have to be replaced cause some are getting ragged:(<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCA7m-r58APECEuC_7Rzhp725-yOfPLChmVEKkeGGeEhBK0Mp3XabMTOUbT4stT1VQHBlAj6bnvZ-A8XZ_2hESVkabBS0msInqs6Gn2sWYI8EBtD9Ip7DU4rMBa0r7HtdKAgC9ogvk8fgX/s1600/IMG_1886_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCA7m-r58APECEuC_7Rzhp725-yOfPLChmVEKkeGGeEhBK0Mp3XabMTOUbT4stT1VQHBlAj6bnvZ-A8XZ_2hESVkabBS0msInqs6Gn2sWYI8EBtD9Ip7DU4rMBa0r7HtdKAgC9ogvk8fgX/s1600/IMG_1886_2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This year I put 2 of my black lanterns out here with LED candles in one of them and filled the other with Fall goodies. .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69x58MPnjufqPAqly6o6PP4VB4FUjPBhWx7qQdYLh3v7wcErJ8NPwPYYAw5ECqrFBZ8TA8PuinHXwP_ORnr8a0Qqimtqz2WwIQ0a7Le_EHdPcMp2_a-qAAIAdqcZ46Y2Kn8KMvPJY0EYi/s1600/IMG_1891.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69x58MPnjufqPAqly6o6PP4VB4FUjPBhWx7qQdYLh3v7wcErJ8NPwPYYAw5ECqrFBZ8TA8PuinHXwP_ORnr8a0Qqimtqz2WwIQ0a7Le_EHdPcMp2_a-qAAIAdqcZ46Y2Kn8KMvPJY0EYi/s1600/IMG_1891.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Some of these mums are real and some faux, can you tell the difference?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HurQ3kVbvxNvHDAcfxYMY6ke0oUtdC0gSL4ix1NZNVTX3P_AS0Wx4RMU00g_HtSrbgdVHBKM0t8XK_U4nXZkWbmC81m3B2R0kWRj4wyGryrq8XU1XOe1_QtPvPxEPh9a5o-9EWHhVDla/s1600/IMG_1892.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HurQ3kVbvxNvHDAcfxYMY6ke0oUtdC0gSL4ix1NZNVTX3P_AS0Wx4RMU00g_HtSrbgdVHBKM0t8XK_U4nXZkWbmC81m3B2R0kWRj4wyGryrq8XU1XOe1_QtPvPxEPh9a5o-9EWHhVDla/s1600/IMG_1892.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I still like my pumpkin patch fence that I got at a craft fair many years ago.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirhrZNCAXD5THHuh6Ityy9nI3nG6-LA1L6UIvCUMdqCBNIKvit6JNG88vbWzrcC3ICkjk8Mji3rV_r8H_t2win-NkfIfbmFVcgiMUQWFNtvMoNGQEONJd18UtOV3AbAh4OfGZ1Q_sVzZS5/s1600/IMG_1893.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirhrZNCAXD5THHuh6Ityy9nI3nG6-LA1L6UIvCUMdqCBNIKvit6JNG88vbWzrcC3ICkjk8Mji3rV_r8H_t2win-NkfIfbmFVcgiMUQWFNtvMoNGQEONJd18UtOV3AbAh4OfGZ1Q_sVzZS5/s1600/IMG_1893.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I stacked 2 hay bales and placed some more pumpkins on them, along with a pot of this pretty flower whose name escapes me right now!

"Keep those things in your bedroom," I remember reading some fabulous designer say. You could feel the disdain in his voice, as if he was talking about dirty underwear.<br /><br />But we don't live on the pages of a magazine, rather a home where we raise (gasp) a family. And children and grandparents enjoy photographic evidence of life. They are weird that way. So inevitably there are going to be photos that you'll want to display. And if you follow the theory that I do, that your home should reflect your well lived, unique life, then photos should be apart of that.<br /><br />So how do you balance displaying family pics while satisfying that craving for a well designed space?<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitM7T3vs25fakBaJ0-dPNamOK_rSwCGumqSRdLNSo5P46SddE7CNI_V_6nHHkRENRPN1Xsiq7ZQXseVOK58IgOgwIVinCVwbu0JOSYRfjfE3fmnSDxcw_Oe3z9gnIICpss1rY89tTncTEC/s1600/2d9984f2812babc00a4accdb23463ae8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitM7T3vs25fakBaJ0-dPNamOK_rSwCGumqSRdLNSo5P46SddE7CNI_V_6nHHkRENRPN1Xsiq7ZQXseVOK58IgOgwIVinCVwbu0JOSYRfjfE3fmnSDxcw_Oe3z9gnIICpss1rY89tTncTEC/s1600/2d9984f2812babc00a4accdb23463ae8.jpg" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://abodelove.blogspot.com/2012/04/kb-her-good-stuff.html" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1ComP26WuCDob4WFJ4zahrM0-XKDPYEbz4fMVM20hqDJmy_2rG0dacsaEPOr4IW2pQRctwkMmxhcOsPXHGEEkPdVfWSzgdvZO0uDjew70h8ZV-5XAF9fUdzD9WyPJNXNfsnl46RUwEg0/s1600/1d4f02e03bca8c2780fe2336d9fcac24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1ComP26WuCDob4WFJ4zahrM0-XKDPYEbz4fMVM20hqDJmy_2rG0dacsaEPOr4IW2pQRctwkMmxhcOsPXHGEEkPdVfWSzgdvZO0uDjew70h8ZV-5XAF9fUdzD9WyPJNXNfsnl46RUwEg0/s1600/1d4f02e03bca8c2780fe2336d9fcac24.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bijoukaleidoscope.com/2010/06/23/chinese-chippendale-chairs/" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Following a tried and true rule of thumb helps - display 'collections' (in this case your picture frames) together to give them more emphasis.

The difference between candid shots and studio shots is like the difference between buying all of your furniture in one afternoon from a catalog and collecting unique pieces and styles over time. Those candid shots will give an original feel to your room, bring back great memories of when they were taken, and give visitors a reason to smile and kick off a great conversation. "When was this picture taken?" And chances are people will remember that funny shot of your kids in a mud puddle better than they will remember what flowers you had on the coffee table.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIha0vzzsfhFHBd28xvjOnIL2WFshHTdgiLIrSD1IT1joo0mLUWZ8RdoBDaWVT8_sS-6-DzGW-KDJjbbgTg8a2_LqrszNp-d88UoIUcdvnK2WPRD7lQeSwa4hZq4HLYofGTMwZG1yiC2L/s1600/one_kings_lane_house_tour_lauren_weisbarth_10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIha0vzzsfhFHBd28xvjOnIL2WFshHTdgiLIrSD1IT1joo0mLUWZ8RdoBDaWVT8_sS-6-DzGW-KDJjbbgTg8a2_LqrszNp-d88UoIUcdvnK2WPRD7lQeSwa4hZq4HLYofGTMwZG1yiC2L/s1600/one_kings_lane_house_tour_lauren_weisbarth_10.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.onekingslane.com/live-love-home/lauren-house-tour/" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3XSGOYEKCjtVEi5tQ6O02vv3T8939fG856m28mPW-HXZlyD_OV4rhXUA13jT1FKr3TTFlXcmS-CXmRAwCUONYcuPBVbdzPUJib0NUmwu05s6Gp6Kl7uWFuyK8FvKyGGSj6kRtjPHigUwK/s1600/e16405998df231b5f91b7e2f7c3fe810.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3XSGOYEKCjtVEi5tQ6O02vv3T8939fG856m28mPW-HXZlyD_OV4rhXUA13jT1FKr3TTFlXcmS-CXmRAwCUONYcuPBVbdzPUJib0NUmwu05s6Gp6Kl7uWFuyK8FvKyGGSj6kRtjPHigUwK/s1600/e16405998df231b5f91b7e2f7c3fe810.jpg" width="428" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.matchbookmag.com/daily/88-up-close-cornelia-guest" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQQ7_CnmnApuUXJStiO2Al4_8zSrLSYPbAXa6zcv5d74kNlLd7CQ8U_jT0yiWbZbGwx3DHQy1f5wMwFySceHYmpQkombA_YsneXZjgCqMBbTuCAnJ5RZysKZaG2V2TlVEhSb2QX8CxrN5E/s1600/cd1f3b335936af5b0ed3a209afdd2db7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQQ7_CnmnApuUXJStiO2Al4_8zSrLSYPbAXa6zcv5d74kNlLd7CQ8U_jT0yiWbZbGwx3DHQy1f5wMwFySceHYmpQkombA_YsneXZjgCqMBbTuCAnJ5RZysKZaG2V2TlVEhSb2QX8CxrN5E/s1600/cd1f3b335936af5b0ed3a209afdd2db7.jpg" width="470" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://issuu.com/matchbookmag/docs/matchbooknov2011/c/sl7uolz" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table>So, what about you? Do you have picture frames all over your house? Just in a few rooms? Have any shots of yourself parachuting out of a plane? Picture frames always makes me think of Meet The Parents when they go over to Owen Wilson's house. But I digress.<br /><br /><br />

Fall Living Room

I have gotten all of my house decorated for Fall now! I keep tweaking SOME things but it is mostly staying like it is. I LOVE my living room decorated for Fall!
