The Foyer - Part One
I am happy to report that The Garrett Home is officially decked out in all of its Fall finery. The final chore remaining is putting away the myriad of boxes and containers.
Some of you may have forgotten that my son and daughter-in-law are expecting my second grandson. She is sue on Nov 5th, but the full moon is Nov 2d. :-)
I will be leaving next week to go to Colorado Springs to await his birth.
This is the bombe' chest on the right side of my foyer. I will share pics of the left side later, with the antique bench. Hint: lots of pillows!
A rust-colored silk runner is topped with two glittered pumpkins. The larger one I simply placed on top of a gold-leafed footed bowl, and added a pre-made silk candle wreath.
You guys know how I love to fill my candleholders with food as a filler. Cornmeal, sugar, coffee beans....don't ask me why. It's the cook in me I guess.
If you missed my Fall Porch Makeover, please scroll down and see my lastest post. In the meantime, I thought I would share some pics I took tonight to give you an idea of what how porch appears at night.

...and what you see coming up the walkway.....

I'm afraid I would be licking my finger and sticking it in the candle holder every time I went by the brown sugar and cinnamon--or trying to get my tongue down into the brandy snifter =) Yummy idea!
WOW! How beautiful!
I LOVE the candles holders and if I had your porch or if you were my neighbor, I would NEVER leave LOL!
Barb, Absolutely Beautiful, but I have come to expect nothing less. Great job, cant wait to see the rest of the house! I have lost my camera, hopefully temperarily and cannot post any pics of my fall and Halloween trees, darn it, I will keep looking! Sue

Oh, how pretty everything is. You certainly bring me right in and make me want to stay and chat. Thanks.
God bless you and your family and the precious grandchild that will be here soon.
Barb you home looks wonderful. I adore the front porch- so comfy feeling!!
Hope that little one comes soon! Know you will have lots of fun with that new baby!! Gosh would love to see you while you are in Co Springs sometime- I am in Walsenburg about 2 hour drive. If grandbabies are there I think you may be back there often!
How is your hubby doing lately?

Oh Barb, this is stunning. I love that pheasant feather wreath. It is so pretty. Your console in the entry is beautiful with the pretty pumpkins and the candles and pheasant. Your porch is just wonderful. It really is gorgeous both in the day time and at night. I can't wait to hear all about the new baby. I know you will be in 7th heaven and to get to see Cole again too. Hugs, Marty
Everything is beautiful! I love the brown sugar and cinnamon idea. It looks so pretty. I'm expecting a grand baby too...a granddaughter on Nov. 8th. ;)
Wonderful Fall wreath Barb! That is just the prettiest and the candleholders sound yummy!
Thanks for your sweet visit my friend. It was so nice to hear from you.
Have a safe trip visiting your future new grandson.
Congrats Grammie!
I so want to sit on that porch! The wreath on the mirror is a great touch. I hope all goes well with the new little one...aren't they a blessing?

It's soooo bootiful and right in time for Halloween.
Love the new look for your porch! "Fall" colors are my favorites. I do have a question about the lamps on your porch. Are they just regular lamps or made to be used outdoors? Thanks!
Barb, aren't you afraid of ants finding their way to these? Opps! Didn't think of that, right? Dump the mixture before you leave or put in ziploc bag in your freezer until you come back. Taking warm clothes I hope! Snow boots?
Barb, this all looks just gorgeous! I love the pheasant feather wreath. And your porch is so inviting. I think with a good book and a cup of tea I might never leave that space. Have a safe trip and I know you'll have a wonderful time seeing your family again. Hugs, Kat
So pretty Barb!
Gorgeous and very inviting. So warm and comfy looking
I am still in awe over all your fall finery!!! I just love that porch. Congrats on the new little one and hope all goes well and safe travel!!!

BARB!!! Missed you!
That is an outdoor space?? Coulda fooled me! It's stunning. I'm so into pheasant feathers now - so classy. And what a gorgeous picture of you in your profile! Good luck with your new grandbaby. Be sure to post pictures! Duh, of course you will!
Take care! Kim
Oh Barb, it is even more cozy looking at night, I love it. Your foyer is so warm and inviting also. Anyone who enters your home can tell they are about to have a treat before them, lots of eye candy.Have a safe trip back to see your grandbabies.Hugs Kathysue
