"I want something different, not too crazy & something you're able to see from the street."
That was the direction we had for our most recent porch restyle. We set out to give her exactly what she wanted without straying too far from her classic traditional tastes. Refined but still fun.
We could have gone for your typical mushroom mum look & a few large assorted pumpkins but you know us better than that. Instead we opted for a fresh color palette of purple, orange & white softened with fresh greenery. We were thrilled with the way it turned out!
We flanked the door with two large pots filled with a beautiful composition of purple and orange mums, cabbage, dusty miller & an assortment of draping succulents and filler. To add height, we decided on tall branches of curly willow.
The old step ladder is a family heirloom pulled from our client's garage. We love finding props in unexpected places & using them in unexpected ways.
We made a spark & arrow original wreath for the front door. How fun is the natural moss tucked around the monogram?! A fun detail to surprise guests as they walk up.
Instead of your typical scatter of uniform sized pumpkins we made an impact with quantity & variation. Several sizes & colors of pumpkins strategically placed and a smaller pot of mums topped off with a mini pumpkin carried the punches of color down the stairs.
A simple potted cabbage & more pumpkins balanced out the other side.
The cool breeze as we worked on this porch restyle was a nice reminder of all the fun projects we have coming up. We loved working with our client to bring her fall porch to life & hope she enjoys it as much as we do!
Happy fall!
