Easy Do-able Fall Porch Ideas

Easy do-able Fall porch ideas are some of my favorite things to put together!

I love all the things about fall, the colors, the smells, the fashion and fall recipes!

I mean who doesn’t love some pumpkin cookies or banana bread baking in the oven on a cold October day? Coming home after school as a kid and walking in the house to the aromas filling the air was the best!

My brother and I could hardly wait for Charlie Brown’s the Great pumpkin to be aired on TV. It was such a big deal to be able to watch it only once a year…we couldn’t miss it! 

Decorating the porch

I am so excited to have a porch! I have always wanted to live in a house with a porch! My grandmother was a really amazing seamstress and gave me her old sewing machine cabinet. Setting it out on my porch just makes my home feel comfy and cozy.

To bring in the fall look I placed a wicker basket filled with pumpkins on it.

Faux fall leaf garland and wreath

Around our front door I simply hung garlands of fall leaves. So easy and do-able! I just used a few small nails but you could use sticky hooks that won’t damage your trim.

Next I and hung my wreath on the door. Since then I have recycled this wreath using dried hydrangeas and faux pumpkins on my new white door.

More recently I decided not to use the faux leaf garland and instead I used corn stalks and pumpkins on the porch.

Corn husks on Fall porch

Ok this is the best part of my Easy do-able fall porch ideas! Using bundles of corn husks! They make such a statement and are so easy to tie around a column or pole.

I love using corn husks on my porch mixed with yellow mums and lanterns filled with large candles and fall leaves.

Adding some glow in the dark googly eyes is the perfect touch for Halloween.

I used witch hats and it is my favorite!

Easy do-able outdoor fall decor just makes my heart sing

It brings back memories of living in New Jersey as a kid and seeing all the gorgeous fall leaves going to fall fairs, trick or treating and eating caramel apples.

Oh I have a recipe for caramel apples with chocolate drizzles you will love! Sometimes I forget some of my posts until I start writing my blog and then all of a sudden I am like hey…I have a post about that! haha

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • It all looks so lovely and cozy...isn't fall such a wonderful time of year? The majority of my fall decorations did not make the cut for our cross-country move earlier this year, so I am having to slowly rebuild a new collection. Thank you for all the inspiration! Enjoy your day! :)

    • I feel your pain I got rid of a ton of Halloween decor over the summer and now I'm totally regretting it :( it's tough when you move or downsize and have to lighten up things isn't it... But then there is the upside.... Shopping and starting fresh :) start with cheap things like corn husks and pumpkins they just make me smile :)
