Fall Farmhouse Decor Inspiration

I know I’ve mentioned this a time or two before. But if you’re talking about ‘the dream’ for Rob and I, it’s a large wrap around farmhouse front porch that overlooks some land, my dogs, and maybe even some cows. (It’s now our 10 year goal!) While our current super small front porch isn’t necessarily fitting of that description, I’ve been determined to make it a cozy spot that makes our entire home look warm and inviting from the outside. With your front porch being the first thing someone sees when they approach your home, I’m a firm believer that it’s definitely a spot that shouldn’t be overlooked when decorating – no matter how small it is.

I started decorating our home for fall back in August, but I showed some real restraint for switching up the decor on our front porch. Whether it was because I was waiting for it to officially be fall or because no one in their right mind was selling mums and pumpkins yet, I’ll leave that one up to you to guess. (Hint: It was the latter.) After planting our mums and hunting for the perfect pumpkins for a few weeks (before the mums would inevitably die), we finally got lucky. There were some embarrassing squeals, and I just about bought out the whole stand at Publix. Is anyone else as obsessed with ugly pumpkins as I am? As much of an oxymoron it is, I find them so cute!

Fall Farmhouse Front Porch

While I have a huge love for the neutral fall decor inside my home, I wanted to change it up for our front porch this year. Rather than stick with the white and green heirloom pumpkins, I wanted to embrace the natural colors of fall with our pumpkins and mums. I hope you’ll be inspired to do the same after reading this post!

I got our mums from Home Depot, and planted them in their inexpensive clay pots that I spray painted black to give them more of a black-metal-planter look. At first, I was a little sad that my Home Depot didn’t have any larger white mums and ended up settling for colors. However, I now actually love how it turned out looking with the different colors mixed together. So far, this brown thumb hasn’t killed any of them off yet. But, you should ask me again how they’re doing at the end of the season.

As I mentioned above, I found these heirloom pumpkins at a Publix a couple towns over after searching for a couple weeks searching around our area. (With plenty of weird looks as I went into places who didn’t have them yet!) Now not only is it pumpkin season, but it is also how-long-can-I-keep-my-dogs-from-eating-them season. Once again, ask me how they’re doing at the end of the season. We can’t even check the mail without Beaux and Willie thinking they’re giant tennis balls. We have some teeth marks, big and small, but no major tragedies yet.

Cozy Fall Front Porch

When it comes to styling spaces, I always start with my large base pieces first and then add in the accessories. Our bench was actually our housewarming gift from my grandparents, and they got it from Hayneedle. (I even was able to put it together myself!) We paired it with a more modern and fun round side table from Home Depot that I then can top with cute decor accessories as the seasons change. For fall, I topped it off with a small white mum in a black painted clay pot and mini heirloom pumpkins.

To finish the space off and give it all the cozy fall vibes, I made some a cover for an old pillow out of some old gray curtains and threw in a knit blanket to add in some texture. I’ll be sharing a tutorial on how to make your own later this week on the blog, so stay tuned! Now all I can think about is cuddling up on this bench with my pumpkins on a crisp fall morning with my coffee in hand. A girl can dream, right?

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
