Fall Sign and Front Porch

Another Pinterest project here...Thats seems to be what makes up most of my projects these days. I see something darling on Pinterest and then I hack it for myself.

Here's the Pin that inspired this project.

And here's my version:

Cedar Pickets from Lowe's nailed to some scrap wood on the back.

(All of my photos were taken with my phone, I apologize)

 

 Painted base coat white, then slapped on some green in a few spots.

Then squirted on some brown craft paint straight from the bottle and just smoothed it out, then covered with a tan'ish cream color on the top. 

(I started paint the tan color over the brown before I got that picture with the brown on, So the corner is what it looked like before the tan color)

 

Used my Silhouette to cut out vinyl stencils for the words.

Adhering the stencil was AWFUL. 

The wood was to "dirty" so it was sliding around everywhere but I survived.

*All my paint I had on hand, I did not buy anything but the wood*

 Added to my porch!

I can't wait to add my pumpkins and gourds!

See how I made my wreath HERE

Also, Check me out on Pinterest 

You can Follow my Autumn/Fall Ideas Board

or my All Hallows Eve Board (since that is right around the corner)

I've totally decorated for fall inside my house! 

How about you?

Fall Porch

I put together part of my porch for Fall

 To get the tutorial on how I made the wreath, go here

 This is the part that is NOT done.

Antique Wheelbarrow

I'm totally in the market for a antique wooden wheelbarrow or wagon, like the ones I posted about yesterday. I want to do fun arrangements on my porch with them for the different seasons.

My mom was kind enough to let me use hers this fall and winter.

You can even see that there is a tiny bit of old blue paint on the wagon that compliments the color of my house.

Fall Porch Round-Up

Do you think I can start transforming my porch to fall stuff yet?

Here's some inspiration for you.

Autumn Porch

I found this picture on line, I think it's from Pottery Barn.

This was my inspiration:
This was the best I could do:
So, A far cry from the Pottery Barn picture, But it's a start. First off, I couldn't find Urn's anywhere this far into the Fall. I did buy 1 of those twiggy pumpkins, but it was expensive so I only bought 1, the picture above has like 6. Also, I didn't do the black birds or the Cool Lanterns. Maybe I can find some cool lanterns this coming year. The luminaries that are on the bottom 2 steps were bought at Target in the dollar bins. I grew the pumpkins myself (so I didn't have to spend $50 to decorate with pumpkins. The Wreaths on the windows need to be twice as big. I will work hard in the coming year to buy some more things for next year! But for now I think it's pretty good.
