PINK, ORANGE, BLACK AND WHITE FALL FRONT PORCH 2024

Hello everyone!  I'm sure you're seeing plenty of Christmas content elsewhere since Halloween is over, but I've finally got my Fall front porch ready to share with you today!  It's got similar components to what I've used in the past, and I once again used a pink and orange color scheme but to me it has a different, more whimsical feel this year.  

I've had these faux stacked pumpkins for several years, but haven't really used them the past few years on the porch- I didn't like something about the colors but couldn't put my finger on what needed to change.  I thought I would fully repaint them, but once I really thought about it I realized the black stripes on the orange pumpkin were the main thing bothering me.  So, I just painted over those with pink and added a few orange polka dots to the top pumpkin to carry the orange through.  Love them now! (See a video of my makeover here.)

I got these large black and white ginger jars at Tuesday Morning- probably my last purchase there before they went out of business.  😢  Pumpkin wreath is from TJ Maxx (similar here), rug is old Target,... I think everything I used is past season and I can't source.  I have a few real pumpkins around the front door that my sister grew at her place though, love them! 

 I bought these lanterns years ago from At Home and painted them.  If you've been here a while you've seen them often (this tree was my favorite spot for them!) but they were pretty beat up and I recently repainted them... still hot pink but a slightly better/glossier color.  This is my current favorite hot pink spray paint for reference, it's cheaper at Lowe's or Ace Hardware. 

Here are the "new" stacked pumpkins in place- with a bow added of course!  Here's a little tip- I used a few strips of black electrical tape to make the stripes on the LED candles in the lanterns.  Quick, simple, and easily removable!  It comes in lots of colors, too, if you want some colorful striped candles. 

The stars of the show are always these cute guys- and they don't eat my real pumpkins! 😂  Old from At Home, but I've seen several squirrels this year (like this one) in stores with Fall decorations that would be good candidates with spray paint for a similar look.  These pumpkins are faux- I have a gingham painting tutorial here and I used those handy brushes again for the white polka dots.  

The lions moved off the porch to make way for the squirrels.  I tied a gingham ribbon on until after Halloween, but I found the cutest little accessories for them for Thanksgiving at Hobby Lobby that I'll add once we get past a few extreme stormy, rainy days here.  I'll show you a pic then! I bought my set locally and they are very heavy concrete, but these are a little bigger and a great price right now if you want a similar look.

Lastly, with the early dark evenings of Fall I love to add a sting of globe lights on the porch.  I have small cup hooks across the top of the beam framing the porch, then I just use a staple gun to secure the string down the side posts in a few spots.  It adds such a warm glow and extra soft lighting to the front of the house.  It's November and my ferns are still going strong... we'll see how long they last!  

Have you moved on to Christmas yet?  I'll start inside the house mid-November but won't decorate the porch until after Thanksgiving.  Here are my Fall porches from the past few years too-
