This past weekend, I decorated my front porch. I use the term “porch” loosely. It’s not really a porch – more like a front stoop. Just a little landing really. If you’re lucky enough to have a front porch – I envy you! But we make the best of what we have, right? So here’s how I made the best of my little “porch”.
I started out with a pretty basic wreath from HomeGoods.
Nice enough, but I thought it needed more. More is more, right?
Armed with some plastic gourds and fall leaves from the dollar store, a can of Krylon spray paint and a hot glue gun, I got to work amping up my wreath.
That’s better, don’t you think? So much fuller!
Next I grabbed some of my latest roadside market finds: a lovely, old watering can, three mums and a little, old, white step ladder.
After hanging the wreath on the door, laying down an old rug, putting some mini gourds in a basket and placing some corn stalks in the corner, my Fall Front Porch (okay, stoop!) is done.

what a pretty porch looks great and very welcoming
Thanks Maria! I love that you think it’s welcoming! Exactly the look I was going for!
Love these ideas. I still need to decorate!
Thanks Francine. You still have time!
Oh my goodness, I totally love it all. Hubby goes overboard with Halloween, so right now our house it ‘haunted’ but this would be perfect for Thanksgiving… Thank you
Thanks Shauna, I love seeing all of the “overboard” Halloween decor that people come up with! Me, I’m lazy….I only do one for Fall!
Wow, I love that wreath! Can you make me one?
Thanks Christine! You can make one, it’s super easy!
You are so talented! I wish I could do the same for my porch.
Thank you Helene, how sweet of you to say!
This looks so beautiful!! I love decorating for fall!
Thanks Jennifer! I love decorating for fall, too. Mother Nature makes it so easy ; )
I love that wreath!! I am going to try that ASAP! I keep saying I am going to do more decorating for fall! Fall is my favorite time of year!!
Thanks Liz! I’m glad I inspired you to decorate more for Fall. I’m not a huge fan of Fall, only because I hate to see summer end, but it is a fun season to decorate!
I need you to come and do my front porch!
I’ll be right there ; )
I love your porch space, and think you did an amazing job!
Thank you very much Amy!
Your front porch looks great! I love that leaf wreath.
Thanks Shannah! And thank you for calling my tiny little stoop a porch! ; )
My front porch looks so sad in comparison!
Oh Virginia, I bet it looks great!
I had just started to decorate my front porch for fall and my family started to say it was time for Halloween decoration! As soon as the Halloween is over, I will get back to fall and I will remember your wreath!
I know what you mean….I was thinking about Halloween decor, but since my kids are grown and I won’t be home for trick or treat night, the decision was an easy one!
Autumn decor is so beautiful, the colors, the wheat, etc… I love the wreaths you showed here. How homey they make the house look!
Very pretty, I wonder if I could manage to do something like this?
Your porch loves beautifully done! I really love the watering can!
I really love the metallic touches on that wreath. Just beautiful.
Your front porch looks great!! Love the look of Fall.
It looks great! I plan to decorate every year but it never happens… I just never have the time. Maybe Ill try again this year.
I love these deco tips. they are so simple and easy to do.. I wish I had a DIY bone in my body but I don’t so if its too complicated it wont work for me.. So I know this is something I can do.. and I love fall/autumn the colors are beautiful and so inviting..
This is gorgeous! I love decorating for fall!
