Met Monday: Fall Porch

Welcome to Metamorphasis Monday, hosted by our wonderful friend, Susan at

Between Naps on the Porch.

Please make sure you stop by Susan's beautiful blog for more "Before and After" tranformations.

For this week's Met Monday - we are going to head out to the Front Porch....

I am a little behind schedule on my Fall decorating, but we woke up this morning and made the decision to get our Front Porch ready for Fall.

We cleared everything and gave it a good cleaning...washing away the Summer dust and cobwebs.

Here is the Summer "before" pics...

Bill and I have enjoyed lots of Summer evenings out here. We sat by the lamp light at night and read...at least until the mosquitoes drove me in. :-)

... a side table covered in a Summery chintz...

...comfy rockers....

.... cushiony pillows....

But with the changing of the Seasons, the Sages and Reds

were changed over to...

Gold and Orange...

The cedar trees we had planted over the Summer were replaced with faux boxwood topiaries, which will be easier to care for.

Twinkling white lights, a large burlap bow and bittersweet berries add Autumn texture and color.

The white rockers were replaced with brown rattan chairs and ottomans.

Fall inspired cushions replaced the Summery designs.

Quilted throws are tossed on the back of the chairs for cooler evenings.

Side planters, running over with ivy, get some Fall touches with pansies, pumpkins, and a Seasonal rake.

Bill and I will enjoy morning coffee and after-work drinks in the coming weeks...

Our new red door perfectly frames my Fall wreath...

Stop by and see us....I have fresh loaves of Pumpkin Bread and homemade Apple-Pecan Butter.

Happy Fall Y'all....Barb
