Fall Porch & DIY Pumpkin Topiaries
Three surefire signs it’s fall:
Mums.
Pumpkins.
Raking.
They’re all on my porch – with a twist.
Hopefully, this is the only time I’ll have to touch a rake!
Remember what these music sheet planters started out as?
See how I made these planters out of $1 plastic pumpkins.
$7 yard sale lantern!
DIY Pumpkin Topiaries
*3 faux pumpkins (mine are from Target)
*Superglue
*faux berry garland
– Pull the stems off two pumpkins (saving the stemmed one for the top) and glue them together
– Cut a few pieces from the berry garland and twist them together
– Wrap the berries where the pumpkins join and twist closed
Now, bring on the pumpkin pie!
Kelly this is gorgeous! The front of your home is so inviting!
I love them! I am working on something similar, and wondered what would help…berries, of course! Your entryway looks sooo inviting…is there wine inside?
love how warm and inviting it is- the rake on the door is my favorite!
That’s stunning!! did the pumpkins come in that color?
Yes, they came in these colors – and were only $2.50 each!
Out with the sweet potato vines, in with the mums! Looks lovely!

Love the rake …
Love it, Kelly! It looks so welcoming.
Some see pumpkin pie, I see cabbage rolls as the main course.

Love, love, love your front porch all styled for fall. How fun.
Target will be sold out of those $2.50 pumpkins before I get there today cause this is gonna cause a run on the store! Classy, cute, simple, quick, and inexpensive … a perfect combo for a holiday / short term decoration. Pinning (which doesn’t help my cause to prevent the pumpkins selling out)
Wow, your door is gorgeous!! Love that warm wood. I’m not much of a Fall decorator myself. I wish I could find something Fall-ish I like that isn’t orange!
You could do a monochromatic of white or any other color that tickles your fancy. Just paint all of your decor a color that you love! Gray, green, black or yellow and then add some fake leaves or garland…just run with it, it’s yours!!!! And BTW Kelly, your porch is inviting and cozy cute!!!!?
thanks so much Cindy!
Kelly your porch is adorable! And your music sheet pumpkin is stunning!
Can I make mine pecan? I’m just sayin 🙂 Love your pumpkins…..but those urns? Seriously.

So cute Kelly! Love the rake, love the pumpkins, LOVE that door!!! Great job!
I love, love, love that door and your front steps! And of course, the decor is stunning {goes without saying, girl.} What kind of plants are on either side of the steps, and where did you get the planters???
Aimee – Those are mums and cabbage plants. I made the planters – click on the link to see how I did it!
Beautiful entry. I’m loving the rack on the door, such a cute idea. I also have that large silver lantern so thanks for the inspiration.
love that. it’s all so comfortable looking, with the pinecones looking au natural all lounging out there by the lantern.
Look at you all decked out for fall! Looks fabulous and inviting and I think I can smell that pumpkin pie smell wafting from the door …
🙂
