Hi, friends! Today I'm back sharing with you our fall front porch. I actually don't think I've ever shown you the front of our house. I realized that I've been quick to show you the pool and courtyard, but we haven't done much to the front and it's actually overgrown with weeds right now! We have big plans for the landscaping which I'll update you on soon, but a small porch (not sure I would even call it that, it's more like a landing) is not going to change, so I decided to embrace it and make it look as cute as I can for fall!
I've asked some of my blogging friends to join us in sharing their fall porches as well, so be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and visit their inspiring spots as well.
You may recognize this black bench from our entryway in our old home (LINK). It's made from an old headboard and I just loved the way it fit so beautifully in our foyer, but in this house, it was too large to squeeze in so I recently drug it from our bedroom hallway out to the porch and I really love how it looks with our white brick and black door. It is under a covering, so it shouldn't get rained on. I'm liking the opportunity it gives me to play around with some pillows and lanterns for a cozy look.

To make this look happen, I started with two large planters with white mums. They flank either side of the entry and greet visitors as they come down the walk.
I purchased this gorgeous wreath with the perfect gingham ribbon and pumpkin from an online shop on Etsy. You can view her shop, here (LINK). The colors tie beautifully into our outside exterior.
Around our black bench, I scattered pale pumpkins, a large gourd and a trio of black lanterns. My favorite piece of this little area is this sweet little burlap pillow from A Gal Named Chuck store on Etsy. When this first arrived, I showed you on my Insta Stories how the front panel unbuttons and inside the back zipper of the pillow are other seasonal panels to change out! This makes 1 pillow usable for multiple occasions and holidays! I mean, genius, right? You can see what I'm talking about here (LINK).
On the other side of the door, I stacked a couple of small hay bales and added a wooden stool, another mum, cabbage plant, and a textured gourd.
Overall, I love how it turned out even for a small porch! It is welcoming and oh so festive!
Make sure to stop by and visit my friends and gather ideas from their inspiring outdoor spaces!

XO,
Hi. This is so pretty. I just found your site. I’ve been looking for the perfect white & gray combo. Would you share your paint colors?

I love how you kept everything neutral and green but added a pop of color with the orange pumpkin.
Your porch looks wonderful, Amy! I love your mixture of black, white, green & orange. And that pillow is so neat – the interchangeable panels are so smart! Thanks for hosting this hop and inviting me to join! Happy October 🙂
Hi, Emily! Thank you. This pillow is just the best.
Amy, I just love your warm and welcoming front porch. The black bench looks beautiful there and I am so in love with the gorgeous wreath with the buffalo check ribbon. Thanks so much for hosting!
Thank you, Michelle! It’s a fun little space!
I love it! What I love the most is how you’ve managed to tuck unexpected pockets of fall into such a small space. It’s always wonderful to round a corner and find something you weren’t expecting – you’ve done that so well using the space behind the mums. Beautiful! Miss you, friend!
Miss you too! Thank you. It’s a small space for sure!
Your porch is looking so so cute for fall! I am in love with your wreath but sad to see she doesn’t have any more like it! It is gorgeous; the bow is perfection!!
Thank you! I know, I agree that the wreath is gorgeous!
