Fall Porch 2014 and Party!

Can you believe that fall officially begins tonight? Bring on the cooler temps, the bluer sky, the smell of fallen leaves decaying and being able to wear my new boots!
If you follow me on instagram then you have seen some of my new boots and I can't wait to wear them. But today we aren't here to talk about new boots. We are here to share some fall porch ideas.

On Saturday I shared my past fall porches and I wanted to do something a little different this year.

 I didn't want a typical wreath, even though there is nothing wrong with those, or my basket filled with dried pods, flowers and leaves like I have used in the past. I wanted something different and unique  So I put on my thinking cap and thought what comes to my mind first about fall and it's apples. I love stopping at apple stands and so this idea of hanging a bushel basket of apples on the door was born.

I had to think how could we hang a bushel basket on the door and then I shared my idea with Mr. Savvy and he rigged the basket so we could hang it. I knew he could figure it out and I will share how he did it in another post so this one doesn't get too long. I also made the crude apples sign. I wanted it to look like one you see on the side of a mountain road letting you know there are apples ahead.

I bought a few large mums in varying colors to use on the porch. No pumpkins yet, but I may add some next month.

I placed the mums in my old bushel baskets that I have picked up from flea markets and created varying heights with my old stools as props.

I decided to use ornamental cabbage and used a wire basket upside down as a lift.

Another mum on a stool and another potted cabbage on the other side.

So have you gussied up your front porch yet for fall?

I am joining five other bloggers who are sharing their fall porches, too and we would love for y'all to link up your front porch, too. If you don't have this year's done yet no problem just link up an older post.

Please be sure to check out the other ladies' front porches at the links below.
