“I hopped on the train of autumn and I am feeling it.” Flowers in the fall are the mysteries of life with their orange, flaming red and purple colors.

Hang them up high on the front porch and lay buckets of flowers on each footstep.

2. Welcome Guests with a Rustic Wooden Sign

“I am warm, inviting and always looking for new friends.”

A truly friendly neighbor is not ashamed to be outspoken, too.

Now, if the flower petals at design numero uno are not your personal preference, you can just state who you are by a sign like this and hang the classic wreath.

3. Customize Your Pumpkin Decorations with Flowers

“I have style and it goes way beyond my own personality.”

By creating a super easy to make flower wrath and gracing the full-figured pumpkin ( carved pumpkin ) with it like a crown, you do make a statement. In this case, it’s not about more or less, it’s about who wore it best!

4. Show Your Harvest with a Hanging Door Apple Basket

“I’m a goodie and I like to see more of you”, says this door.

Now the red apples may possibly bring some fairytale associations and biblical references but don’t distinguish your desire to give to others simply because of those.

Plus it can be persimmons, you know?

5. Spread the Holiday Spirit with Fall Porch Decorations

“I’m well aware of my manners, I’m greeting you, but my simplicity is no indifference to others.” Classics much like cliches are classics for a reason.

You don’t need to go overboard and hang simple greeting signs. That would be enough, too.

I love the fact that lights are no longer associated only with Christmas but grace trees, doors, and front porches. That’s my door.

Grab some branches that fell from the trees in your yard and you’re done!

It’s so great because right from the first look at your home the visitors will know they are here to unwind and in for some wine.

You might want to check if you saved some of the wraps from old bouquets to create your new precious one. Al final, proudly hang it and make sure it’s not too heavy! 🙂

Grab your best brushes and some black paint and get ready to create a beautiful cursive. Handwriting always shows extra care and personality. You can decorate the pumpkin without carving.

I love the idea you can actually draw words on anything – including a pumpkin.

You may have a darker color door, but this is actually a great background for some color. Orange seems to refresh this door and the symmetry still speaks of the owner in a quiet tone.

A tidy doorway equals a great organizer`s touch.

This is pretty spectacular of a view.

The dark net on the chair, the blooming flowers, and the chile peppers outside are definitely thrilling. However, the bats flying over and paying a visit are simply the best.

That what I call a porch with a character.
