When Fall comes around all those warm and fuzzy colors start popping up everywhere.
Usually one brings out all of the browns, golds, oranges.
This year a new color has been introduced to our Fall decor... Turquoise!
I started seeing pumpkins all dressed up in white and some in black and this year people are getting more and more creative with their pumpkins and I love it. So, since I'm loving turquoise and teal right now, they were invited to join our traditional Fall front porch.
Speaking of dressed up pumpkins, (I just noticed that my writing is crooked on this photo, oops), I decided our new turquoise pumpkins needed to dress for the occasion and strut our house numbers on each one of their fronts. These were added after I spray painted the pumpkins. They look like furniture tacks but they weren't called that on the package. However, right at this moment, I can't remember what they're called. Anyway I attached them with straight pins and set each one on a bed of Fall leaves and a 3 tier plant stand that I had to paint. I saw similar ones on Pinterest and loved them so I had to try and do something close.
Next...the door wreath. I'm not sure this can be called a wreath. Anyhow, this is a project I wish my Mom could have been here to do for me. She's so good at flower arrangements.
And my most favorite part of the whole porch...
this bird!
Isn't he beautiful?
He came from Pier One. I actually saw him first and didn't know how I could use him so I left and went to Hobby Lobby where I found the florals at 1/2 off. Then I knew what I would do with the gorgeous bird so I went back to Pier One and now he's mine! I love his super long feathers, so ruffly and blue!
It's been fun adding colors to our Fall decor this year. You know what happens now? I have to add other turquoise and teal inside the house...right. (Snowball effect)
Have a great day!
This is one engrossing post. Enjoyed it through and through.

And this Florida weather, well...I guess our time will come for cooler weather...can't wait! I'll talk to you soon.
DeleteOh, I love the color turquoise, and I never would have thought that it would go with the fall oranges, but it does. Everything looks so nice on your front porch. And that bird, sooo pretty. Pier 1 is my very favorite store.

Thank you and I do think it goes well with the warm Fall colors too.
DeleteOh so very pretty! Isn't it amazing how a touch of turquoise can make such a big difference in any project. I really ♥ the bird, too Ü
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes turquoise just adds a warm pop of color.
DeleteP.S. I'm sorry it took this long to get back, I've been out of town.
I'm not into turquoise but I like what you did with the color. It worked with everything else. Thanks for showing us what you did. Linda
ReplyDeleteGrabbing a button is easy. First highlight the whole code underneath the pumpkin. That's a little tricky to start with. Then right click and copy it. Now you go to your blog and click on Design up at the top on the right. Then on the left hand side click on LAYOUT. Scroll down and on the right side click on Add A Gadget. Go down and click on HTML/Java Script. Now PASTE the code in the box. Click SAVE. Now go look and see if it came up. And thank you for wanting to put the PUMPKIN PARTY on your blog. Take care, Linda
I love this color! I can't wait to try this and do my house numbers:) I posted Vintage Halloween Apron and Vintage Chenille pumpkin to the party. I'm a recent empty nester too, and country girl!
