Like most of you, Fall time has been on my mind.
As the month of August rolled around, I already started looking
here and there for the new Fall decor in stores.
When I decorated my front porch for summer back in May, I figured
it would stay the same until at least September. Wrong! LOL
During a trip to the fabric store, I came across this pretty outdoor fabric
and I just couldn't help myself!
It had been marked down and, in addition, it was on sale 50% off.
Right away I pictured it on my front porch!
Mind you, I was looking for Fall material, but, when I calculated in my head,
I realized that the cost for this project was only $10.00.
Sounds good to me!
Well, although the kids are going back to school this month and
we really only have a few weeks left of summer, I told myself I needed another project
to keep me going until the pumpkins can come out of the closet. :)
I know, I know! It is an illness!!! LOL
Here is what I did with the fabric. It is not much, but I figured it
will be put to good use at least until after Labor Day.
Since this decor will only be on my front porch for a few more weeks,
I did not want to spend any more money on flowers, so I used
the extra material to make my own for the wreath on the door and
added a few flowers I already had,
I just hope I don't run into anymore sales! :)
Now, to get ready for Fall, seriously!
Thank you all for stopping by.
That looks really great! I love that it is bright and summery looking- after all it IS still summer!!! You did a good job and I love how you dressed up your wreath. xo Diana

Hi Maria, as usual you've outdone yourself....everything looks perfect for this summer. Yellow has been calling my name. Love the pops of it. Are these glued pillows or stitched ones? Thanks for sharing your porch and the wreath on the door turned out perfectly.

ReplyDeleteI was wondering (if you do not mind sharing) do you know the name or brand of the fabrics? or where you bought them? They look perfect & might go in my sitting room, but I cant find them through normal google searches. I live in PA so no need to worry about copying. thanks for the inspiration!!!
I love the yellow!! And the wreath too! Great job!
