Front Door Fall Decor

I couldn't wait for cooler weather to decorate my front porch for fall anymore. After all, we are in Arizona, and it doesn't start getting cool until November.

I started with a handful of fake pumpkins from the dollar store. I found one of my favorite rectangular baskets, stuffed it with wadded up book pages to add height for the pumpkins to rest on.


Then I added a "Welcome Fall" decal to my front door, along with one of two book wreaths that move from place to place around my house. I made the decal, you can purchase one here if you want.


This $15 cabinet I just picked up from Habitat for Humanity got a fresh coat of heirloom white paint and a light distressing. It was a perfect stage for the colorful pumpkins.

We need a door door mat, but I didn't want to go buy one, so sweeping the concrete and giving the mat a good shake will have to do for now.

Its simple, and yet looks like I made an effort to welcome the new season.
If only it would make an effort to actually get here...
 
Happy Fall!
