Make It Mondays… Fall Edition 2018

My Fall front porch

Welcome …since it’s already November and we are decorated for fall, I wanted to show off my front porch.

I love fall mum, they keep me in the “outdoorsy” mood.  I saw a picture of a shorter ladder used on a front porch for Christmas, I loved the look of it on the porch, unfortunately I don’t have a big enough porch to put it up by the door, but I do have room at the bottom of the steps, so I went with that location.  I needed to find about a 6’ ladder, so I watched for one at the estate sales {this is a topic for many future posts} and found one for all of $8.00.  Yea team Cuddy Smart!

My Ladder

Then I started watching garden center sales – all the mum’s on my porch, all 9 plants, cost a grand total of $35.50!  And when I plant them in the wash tubs in late November, I will be able to enjoy them again next year.  This really cute rustic wheelbarrow, I found it at another estate sale.

Now the flowers down the sides of the ladder – I started at my local Michaels store and bought some, but didn’t have enough, so I headed to my closest Dollar store, between the 2 stores, I was able to fill in the ladder for about $25.  The pumpkins and gourds I had in my decorations from previous years and am using them outside this year.  I will enjoy the mum’s for years to come but will need to keep my eye on the sales of fall floral decorations because I will eventually run out of room to plant mum’s.

This all started because of a picture I saw of a ladder decorated for Christmas.

What do you think?  Let me know what fall decorations you have.

Thanks for stopping by for coffee and tea – See you again soon
