Red Yellow and Gray Fall Porch Decor
This year, I decided on a red and yellow color scheme for my fall front porch decor. As you may have guessed if you saw my fall window box planter post, I chose mums and heuchera for my front porch as well.
Abundant Harvest Fall Urn Planters for a Stone and Stucco Home
Today I'm sharing the abundant harvest fall urn planter arrangements that I created for my clients, T&J. A few weeks ago I met these clients t their gorgeous custom home for the first time. They've asked me to"tweak" a few things on the exterior as well as to do interior staging and select the finishing touches for their incredible home.
As you can see from these photos, their home is a gorgeous, custom stone and stucco that confection that was built just about five years ago. Their new landscaping is getting established and filling in nicely.
I love projects like this where most of the "heavy lifting" is complete and all I need to do is to add the "jewelry" to an already gorgeous design. In the front of the home, I'll be adding shutters to a couple of the windows, a window flower box above the garage, and choosing furnishings for their front patio.
Since fall and winter are coming and I'm also working on my own home, I'll be designing the shutters and window box for this home in coming weeks but depending upon weather, they may not be installed until spring. In the mean time, I've created fall urn planters for their front entry and added just a few mums to bring fall color to their yard.
Using their existing containers, I created arrangements using mums, kale, heuchera, broom corn and faux pumpkins from the craft store. The size and scale area appropriate for the size of the home and these planters will last until we do their holiday decorating in late November.
I love it when my clients see their home decorated for a particular season for the first time. The look on J's face when she stepped out of the door on Saturday was so sweet as she hugged me and said "I must have done something really good at some point in my life to deserve to have you in my life."
It's moments like that....a few brief seconds, shared on a gloomy Saturday morning or a sunny Friday afternoon, that remind me of how much I love doing what I do. I love helping clients to create warm and welcoming environments that are a reflection of them. Bringing the feelings and visions that they have for their home to life is my favorite thing to do.
I can't wait to show you the inside of this gorgeous home in the coming months. I'll be staging and decorating four bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room and family room. I'll also be doing some holiday decorating for them both inside and outside (and you know how much I love the holidays!)
I'm thankful to have this gorgeous home to decorate while our home is being renovated. Creating abundant harvest themed fall urn planters for J & T's front entry is just the start of the fun so be sure to follow along.
I'll be sharing my own fall front porch decorating as well as farmhouse construction updates later this week so be sure to stop by.
Thanks so much for reading!
Rustic Gray and White (and Pink) Thanksgiving Table Decor
This year, my Thanksgiving table decor is pastel. Well, not really pastel. It's gray and white and metallic, too. I knew that I wanted something a little different this year even though I'll be setting the table and baking pies at my mom and dad's home again this year because I don't really have a working kitchen.
French Country Fall Mantel: Neutrals, Naturals and Metallics
This year, I decided to keep my fall mantel decorating neutral and to combine elements from nature like pine cones, oak leaves, grape vine and white pumpkins (both real and faux) with spray painted metallic pumpkins for accents.
Fall Harvest Porch Decor with Reclaimed Wood Sign
In the middle of the renovation, I'm still decorating for fall. In fact, all decorating is in full swing here at the farmhouse. The porch is dressed with mums and pumpkins and a sign that I made from reclaimed paneling that I removed when renovated the fireplace in the dining room. If you cup your hands around your eyes and look only at my front entry (ignoring the fact that there's no other landscaping at all because it has been cut down for construction) you might be tempted to think that the outside of my house is nice.....
....don't believe it. It's all a mirage.
Gold and Orange Fall Pumpkin Urn Planter
Since tomorrow is the first official day of autumn (and since the sun finally decided to pay a visit after about a week long vacation), I snapped a few quick photos of my fall harvest themed urn planter.
Halloween Mantel - Do you believe in Magic!?
The great, old fashioned kind of magic. With silk top hats, white gloves, and capes.
I also love Halloween and the special kind of magic that makes a mantel that looks like this turn into
something completely different.
So, I practiced a little magic on my living room mantel this week.

decorating with Martha Stewart just isn't what it used to be
You've got to remember that while I do live with Martha Stewart, she's 14 now. In
yellow lab years, I think that's ninety-two. Unlike her namesake, she doesn't really have an opinion when it
comes to decorating.
Heck, she's only awake for about four hours a day.
