So I finally had time to work on my front porch....and the farm at the corner finally decided to pick their white pumpkins. My topiaries are complete....for now. After seeing such amazing topiary inspiration I thought I would give it a try. I'm thinking of getting two witch hats to add to the top of the white pumpkins for Halloween. My friend John who owns the farm was telling me that because of all of the rain we had this year his crop was about one quarter of what it usually is. Most of the pumpkins were mushy.
I removed all of the summer flowers from my urns to create the topiaries....I just need to wait for some leaves to fall from the trees so I can replace the fake ones. I'm not quite digging the fake leaves...they really look fake!
We all know that blue is my favorite color but it really throws off my holiday decorating. I think thats why I've started to incorporate more white into my all around decorating.
As you can see I'm having fun trying out different photo enhancements.
Added some burlap to my mum baskets...gives it a nice country feel.
I love the color orange of these pumpkins...it is just so warm and vibrant.
You can't have a front porch without hanging some corn stalks on the posts.
This is all you get to see for now....there will be more to follow. I'll be partying with,
Marianne your front porch looks great!!
ReplyDeleteI love your presentation! The pumpkins stacked in the urn are great and I don't mind the faux leaves...they stay put and don't crumble up! Adding the white mums looks great with the white pumpkin! We've had a bumper crop of pumpkins around here and everyone is selling them!
ReplyDeleteYour porch decor is beautiful!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting BeColorful today. I wanted to stop by and return the favor. Love the name of your blog btw. So true that you can have that family comfortable vibe but with a dash of glam to make it your own. The entry here looks so inviting and i think your front door color is so striking. I am not usually a blue fan but this is exceptionally pretty.
