Easy Outdoor Fall Decor

October 20, 2014

I’m excited to share with you my Easy Outdoor Fall Decor today!  I had so much fun decorating and the very best part of it is, is that I grew everything in my garden that I used except for the mums.  Come see what I did.

Second Chance to Dream: Easy Outdoor Fall Decor

 When you walk up to my porch you are greeted with this VERY BORING space.  I love to keep it decorated because it’s so boring.

 

I knew I wanted to use the pumpkins, gourds and Indian corn that I grew myself.  So I sat the DIY bench that my hubby built me up against the wall and just started adding pumpkins, mums, gourds and Indian corn. I put up a wreath to fill in the middle.

Much prettier than that ugly boring brown wall, if I say so myself.

Next, I went out to the end of my driveway.  My husband built this House Number Sign for me.  In the summer we plant annuals in it.  I pulled out my annuals and this is what I was left to work with.

‘I gathered a good number of gourds and placed them on the dirt.  See picture below.

I had some Indian corn that I usually put on my outdoor lights so I decided to add them to the corners of the sign.

I grew Indian corn this year.  I gathered 5 stalks for both sides and tied them to the post.

Here is a view of the whole thing decorated.  I think I’ll buy a couple big pots of mums and sit at the base of the sign poles.

Entrance sign

I bought some mums.  They were only $4.99  They only had yellow but they are better than nothing.

I LOVE it!  I have never decorated it for any season. So glad I did and I’m sure it will become a tradition.

Here is my front covered porch area.

    Love it! Very pretty. I'm reminded once again how it doesn't have to take a lot of time or money, just a little creativity and gathering a few things to make a really effective holiday display. I am co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty link party this month and would love to have you stop by for a visit. The door opens for the next party tonight at midnight! www.alaynascreations.co Alayna @AlaynasCreations recently posted...Wooden Pallet PumpkinsMy Profile

    […] For the top piece of wood, he took a 1×6 and ripped it in half and cut it to 54″ long. You will need both for the sign. Only one shows in this picture. We had some wainscoting leftover from our banquette seating project so he cut it into a 20 x 20 square. He ripped a 1 x 6 into 2′ strips to make a frame for the square. He assembled it all together. Next stain or paint the whole sign and once dry add your caps to the tops and your house numbers to the sign. After everything was painted we took it to the driveway entrance. He dug holes and sat the sign in the holes. Make sure everything is level, then mix up your cement and pour it into the holes. Keeping it steady until cement sets. Next, he added the sign. He used 14″ of chain and an eye bolt for all four corners. The chain will keep it swinging in the wind. Next, plant your flowers and enjoy your hard work each time you pull up in your driveway. Don’t you think it looks so much better? It was surprisingly quick to put together, approximately 2 hours and around $75.00 to make. I want to show you real quick how I’ve decorated my sign for Fall and Christmas. Here is my Fall Decor. You can find a tutorial here. […]
