Fall is in the Air . . .
With the temperatures dropping, and the leaves falling, it's time to get the front porch transformed from summer to fall!
This arrangement on my front door is an old heat duct that had been cut down. It's metal so magnets stick to it.
I purchased this bird house from someone who built it out of vintage pieces. The tea cart I bought new, but after sitting outside for several years, it started to take on this wonderful patina. I love it more now!
I purchased this chicken feeder at the Junk Bonanza. My friend, Julie from Design Cafe, stenciled "There's No Place Like Home" on it. Underneath of it is extremely large kale I also purchased at the Bonanza.
Here's an old Turkey feeder that's quite a bit larger than the more common chicken feeders.
Check out the extra large white pumpkin!

This I was told is a pig pen gate. Should be in my sons room! Works great to hold my pots and a couple pumpkins. Also in the forefront is a cupola.
Another pumpkin with the etching "Give Thanks" The cement leaves were made by a gal who consigns with me at the Round Barn.
This is a really simple decorating idea of putting a pumpkin on top of an urn.
This bird bath I actually didn't transform from Summer to Fall, but I loved it so much, I left it the way it was. The piece on the top is another thing I don't know what it was used for, but to me it looks like a pumpkin!
Another urn! What can I say? I have a thing for urns!

Enjoy fall you can . . . soon winter will be upon us!

I love EVERY SINGLE element you've displayed in this post {So creative & gorgeous!} I'm totally gonna use that 'no place like home' phrase somewhere!
That cool cart is a favorite of mine! If only I would find one. I also love the bird bath and metal thing on top...was surprised how large they were when I saw them in person. Loved it even more!
