Hello, hello there! I would really love to say I feel Autumn temps in the air, but that would be a bold face lie. It’s still pretty steamy here in the South. That aside, I am still in the fall mood and today I am sharing an Autumn welcome on the porch.
My recently painted rocking chairs really set the tone to get me in the mood for the fall season.
The bHome gals and I decided we would all welcome fall a tad early. Why not get your inspiration and ideas swirling around now. You may recall me sharing all about the Bhome app back a few months ago. I sure hope you joined us over there.
To me a welcoming porch, means a welcoming home. It really all starts on the outside.
It’s the first step before entering a home and why not have guests eager to come inside? The best part is you really don’t need a big budget to achieve the welcome.
I brought out my Charlie Brown Christmas tree for starters. You may be asking yourself, “a Christmas tree” why in the world?” Well it started for me last year when I realized how much I loved this little tree and I wasn’t quite ready to take it down. So I went further into the season and I had to stop at Valentine’s day. My family had enough of dear ole’ Charles.
Isn’t this Welcome rooster adorable? My FIL found it at a garage sale for 2.00!
I just had to throw him in the mix to share with you. I love him! Now back to my post.
My favorite tree by far was my Thankful tree.
So out came Charlie on the porch. A few weeks ago I spied some really cute fall decor at the dollar tree that I thought I would pick up. Just a few more things to do my welcome to Autumn tree on the porch with.
I will stop my yip yap now and just show you around the porch.
It’s all about the owl this season.
It started on the fall mantel
The owls, bells, scarecrows and most of the hanging decor all came from Dollar tree.
I think the dollar tree has really stepped it up these days. They are definitely catching on to today’s trends and stocking their shelves accordingly. It’s really cute stuff!
The pinecones and sticks came from my backyard.
The paper leaves came in a pack at the dollar tree and I stenciled on the welcoming quotes.
Nothing new on this end. Just my typically fall stash from years prior. You can see my cozy fall porch from last year here🙂
I love a lot of texture and color. Could you tell?
HA!
Also, as a welcome to Autumn we are offering our readers a chance to win a $100.00 gift certificate to decor steals.

I love owls. Debbie. We have one right out our bedroom window almost every night. He puts me to sleep. Everything looks beautiful. I hope it cools down for you soon.
What an inviting porch for fall. The colours and textures are gorgeous and the addition of a tree is so charming. I love it all. Deb

Loving your fall decor, but we are melting here too and hope that it cools down soon. Love your cozy porch and the tree!
Your porch is awesome; so inviting and cozy. Haven’t done anything with mine yet but you have inspired me to ‘get goin’. It’s my fav season and our weather has cooled off nicely. Gotta dig out a sweatshirt and go to the porch this week end.
I love it!!! Those yellow chairs are so adorable!! You just inspired me to make a cute fall basket for my front door rather then putting my Fall wreath up again this year. Thanks for the inspiration!
Everything looks fantastic Debbie 🙂 Im loving the yellow and all the cute owl touches. You need to come north for some cool weather, the leaves are already changing color here and dropping from the trees. I had to wear my hunting socks and slippers today.
It’s all so welcoming and cheerful Debbie! A perfect reflection of you my friend! 🙂
That Charlie Brown tree is my favorite!! Your porch looks FALLTABULOUS my friend!!
Wow! I love everything about your welcoming porch! I’d love to sit out there with a great cup of chai tea! The painted rockers are amazing. I may have to try that paint. I love the shade of yellow. I also love the color combos on your porch with the orange, yellow and blues. Very nice!

Wow Dollar Tree is doing well this with their Fall goodies. Your tree is adorable, and the pretty yellow rockers are just the perfect punch of color for this beautiful Fall porch!

Your decor is so cute, Debbie. I can’t pick a favorite but I do love the way you decorated that little tree- the owls and scarecrows are adorable!
Thanks MB..I am pretty smitten with that tree myself.
Hello, Debbie! I’m lurking over here on your blog (had a few free moments in between homeschooling lessons) and I must say your porch is by far my favorite so far this season. I love the colors, especially the yellows, with the haunt blue of your ceiling. I hope BHG finds you because this needs to be in their newsletter.
I hope your kids are having a great school year so far!
xo,
RJ
Oh thank you RJ!~ That is sweet. Alex is off at College and Jack is a freshman this year. They are both doing very well. Thanks for stopping over. xo
You have such a happy Fall front porch, Debbie … full of vibrant seasonal colors … tradition … and, whimsy! I’d spent lots of time rocking out there …. Happy Fall, friend.
I have always wanted to do a Fall tree too!!! I may have to look for my very own Charlie Brown:) Your porch looks FABULOUS!!! The colors are all so happy and inviting, welcoming all to come inside to your beautiful home!!!
Debbie,
You have done an outstanding job on all your Fall décor…luv your mantel.
