Happy Monday, y’all! πŸ™‚

I hope this weekend has treated you very well, and you feel like a spring chicken. I know I don’t look like one anymore, but as long as I feel like one that’s all that matters, right?! As I’ve told you countless times before, Fall is my season. I love all the seasons for different reasons, but Fall is the one that is closest to my heart.

It reminds me of happy moments in my life I’ll never forget. You know, like the first time I met my husband (at Starbucks–I know, I know. We’re fancy!) playing in big piles of leaves as a child, everything to do with pumpkins, and just overall the cooler weather that makes it bearable to actually be outside for longer periods of time.

Oh yea… I just love this time of the year.

    Not to mention, there is so many amazing ways you get to decorate your home! Take for instance, my rustic fall porch that I will be sharing with you today.

    Personally, I believe there is no “one size” fits all (which I love!) when it comes to porches, but there are so many gorgeous items that everyone can use to ensure they have a beautiful porch that they be enjoyed by all.

    Creating a rustic fall porch is a piece of cake! Let me show you how you to transform your porch into an inviting display for the fall season.

    Take this rustic white pumpkin wood sign that I made for the shop. While I seriously LOVE a “natural” orange pumpkin, a white pumpkin can go with anything. It can be displayed with any decor, and they are so gorgeous and refined that they make decorating easy as can be.

    Add a few mums (in any color you’d like) and you are already on your way to a simple and rustic fall porch.

    Do you remember these little cuties? Last year I made these DIY Reclaimed Wood Pumpkins, and I couldn’t have been happier with their results! Not only were they easy to make, but super durable for both indoor and outdoor decorating use.

    What do you think of this owl wood sign? Adorable, right?! Originally I created this cutie pie to be used in a nursery, but since my daughter is out of this phase I couldn’t resist using it on my front porch instead! He’s just too cute to be cooped up inside πŸ™‚

    I’ve tried time and time again to be a neutral girl, but I just can’t do it. I love color, and find it not only refreshing but also inviting for any of our guests. I think that sometimes people shy away from color because it can be a little bit intimidating.

    My suggestion (if this sounds like you) is to start off with a neutral base. White walls, light flooring, etc., and then slowly add elements to your space. You don’t need to finish your room or porch all in one day. Heaven knows that I’m NEVER finished with any of my projects in just one day.  And you know what? That’s ok!

    Slowly but surely is better than not at all.

    Creating a rustic fall porch is a piece of cake! Let me show you how you to transform your porch into an inviting display for the fall season.

    Day 21 - Is the start of the sea life section of t Day 21 - Is the start of the sea life section of this amazing challenge! If you haven't noticed... I've been using a lot of warm tones as much as I can. I tend to be a very cold-natured person so during the winter months, I do my very best to think all things summer to get me through! Plus, doesn't this seahorse just look so warm and toasty in its environment?
    Day 19 - Stargazer Lilies. While I might love... t Day 19 - Stargazer Lilies. While I might love... truly love... all flowers, the stargazer lily has always held a very special place in my heart. How do I even explain? They're just a wonderful combination of tropical yet southern, but exotic yet familiar. Happy, playful, soothing, and fragrant. πŸ₯°
    Day 17 - Have you ever grown Sweet Pea Flowers? I Day 17 - Have you ever grown Sweet Pea Flowers? I have not, but after doing my research for this piece I'm tempted to try my hand at it this coming season. They are so pretty and come in such a lovely color palette!
    Day 15 - Bumblebees. I have countless videos of th Day 15 - Bumblebees. I have countless videos of these gorgeous insects buzzing around my azaleas in vibrant shades of magenta every spring. With that being said, I just couldn't resist capturing a similar illustration to remind me of those delectable and much warmer days.
    Day 13 - Today's challenge was a moth, and one of Day 13 - Today's challenge was a moth, and one of my favorites is the Luna Moth. Those lime greens always have me swooning! Now, if I only I could see one in person... that would definitely make my day! πŸ’š
    Day 11 - During the cold months of the year I like Day 11 - During the cold months of the year I like to think/dream about the beautiful creatures that decide to visit us once it gets warmer. We've had a lot of cold days this winter in NC (not super typical) so I figured the use of warm colors on these butterflies would be the most ideal fit! Hope you're staying warm and cozy ❀
