Hello sweet friends! I’m so excited to share our fall decorations with you today! This is the first year we’ve decorated the exterior of our castle for fall. The past few years we were either living amongst the chaos of a construction zone or snuggling our sweet itty bitty baby, so I was especially excited this year to finally celebrate the changing of the seasons! This year is extra special because our oldest started kindergarten, and the start of school really put me in the mood for fall. As my son and I were shopping for school supplies I was reminded of that adorable quote from You’ve Got Mail where Tom Hanks tells Meg Ryan, “Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils!”
I’m so excited for brilliant colors, crunchy leaves, soft sweaters, and warm drinks. The kiddos and I went to a local pumpkin patch and had the best time picking out pumpkins. I didn’t realize that pumpkins came in such beautiful colors and varieties! I bought so many pumpkins, mums, and bales of straw that I had to make a second trip to fit everything in my van. I love supporting local businesses, especially farmers. It was such a fun experience for the whole family. And my kiddos were really excited to help me style our front porch. They kept rearranging their little tiny pumpkins, and they actually did a good job! I might have to hire them to be my stylists on future photo shoots! I also took a trip to my grandparents’ old farmhouse to search for treasures in the barn. Friends, I found the most amazing antiques that are perfect for fall! So grab a warm drink, snuggle up under a cozy blanket, and get ready for some inspiring fall pictures!
Our front porch decorated for fall!
I found this antique wheelbarrow in my grandparents’ barn. Isn’t it gorgeous!
I love the faded green paint!
The original lettering makes my heart so happy!
I bought gorgeous pumpkins in so many colors and varieties at our local pumpkin patch.
The color and design on this variety of pumpkin made me gasp with delight! It reminds me of vintage lace. The sign said it is called “One Too Many”.
I love that pumpkins can also be whimsical and blue!
I found this vintage wash tub and old rusty lantern in the barn as well.
These yellow mums are so cheerful! I’m really hoping I can keep them alive. I am not blessed with a green thumb.
Hooray for fall!
The pergola on the side of our house also got a little fall makeover. This spot is perfect for reading, sipping tea, and watching the boats float by on the river. It is so peaceful and it’s the perfect spot to enjoy this glorious season!
The pergola off our sunroom is such a lovely spot!
Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite books, and I found this beautiful vintage copy of the second book in the series.
This beautiful plate is handmade using vintage lace! I found it in Atlanta at the store Sugarboo and Company. The copper mug came from Target last year.
I rescued this rustic chair from the curb on trash night. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure!
