Our fall front porch....

Happy Wednesday friends!!

I just got back from Office Depot where I made copies of some toile fabric so I can attempt to make one of those fabulous pumpkins that graced the cover of Country Living.  I've been dying to try it ever since I got my copy of the magazine...If it comes out ok, I'll share it tomorrow...haha...we'll see...in the meantime, 
I wanted to share some photos of our fall front porch.  My husband has spent the last 2 weekends painting the outside of our house and now that he is finished, I could finally get to it.....Hope you like it and wish me luck on my mod podge pumpkin project!!

My dream house would have a huge rocking chair front porch.  When we bought our home 16 years ago, it only had a small cement stoop.  My hubby took that off and built me this small, but wonderful front porch...and look...I got my rocking chair!!

    Your front porch is beautiful! It's such a warm, welcoming and colorful Fall entry. Love the galvenized pot you mixed in, too. The burlap bow is a great touch to your corn stalk, and I look forward to seeing your pumpkins! Becca
