Brought to you by the Letter K
Not so long ago I made a little printable with the Letter K But today….The letter K is for Killough’s front porch in the fall.
I don’t have a big ole stately entrance. I live in a little rock cottage. Actually this house, is the smallest home I’ve ever lived in. But the porch, although not grandiose, has so much charm. It’s warm and cozy. There isn’t really enough room for my old rocking bench….but There is room for one person to sit and read and have an iced tea or maybe a little daydream. I’ve really had more than a few good moments on this porch.
Fall seems to be the funnest time for porch decorating. If you start in September….you get to enjoy it till clear into December. There are no other holidays that last three months or more….most of the decorations can even fill in your Christmas decor. That really makes a buck stretch. Speaking of stretching a Dollar…All of my decorations cost so very little to make. I love a low cost decorating! I hope you got to see my tutorials for many of the decorations you’ll see on my porch. So…step on up and take a look around!
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here….how bout you sit and enjoy your stay. I’m thinking about shudders….what do you think? I think I see a project in the future!
Have a seat in my bent Willow chair
Set your glass of my perfect sweet tea down….
Now that you’re sitting there…look behind you…see that wreath? That was really easy to make. I used my leaf templates, added some ribbon and bows. flowers…and pumpkins using a hot glue gun…and poking and gluing on a simple wreath base I bought at Hobby Lobby.
It really was that simple…and humble…just like my little humble porch.
Look to your right….
There’s that swag I made from my leaves…and some using my aged paper technique…
Can you tell I like a natural colored fall? I did do a colorful porch too though…a RED one!
I LOVE my porch, I’m drawn to the humble appeal of the naturals and calming whites and beige tones. Red is my favorite color, but somehow the brighter colors of fall don’t always appeal to me.
I’m so glad you stopped by my fall porch. I hope you’ll come back soon to see some more of my fall decor.
Y’all come back now…..Ya hear?
I almost forgot….what’s a front porch….without a door?

Who says you need a big honkin’ porch to make a statement???? Yours is just perfect, Tammy. So, so cozy, warm and inviting. Just the way that anything ‘fall’ should be. Great job!

Thank You Leslie. I knew as soon as I saw that K…it had to go home with me. Have a wonderful day yourself!
Your porch is way more than humble!!! I love the warmth of it and your beautiful Fall accents! I want your ladder, and what a statement your “K” makes! Happy Fall!
Thanks a bunch Becca. This has been a fun tour…lots of beautiful porches! Have a great week!.
OK, your porch is adorable! I would love to have all that stone! I bet anything you do in there looks amazing with a back drop like that!

Awww..how sweet. I have had so much fun with this porch tour. Thank You for stopping by!
Your porch may be small, but it is packed with style. I love that big ol K and that chair. I bet it is the perfect reading spot.
And what you said about how you can stretch fall decorating is so true. I think that’s why it’s one of my favorite times of year.

Tammy, I simply adore your stone porch with its beautiful archways. Who else has a porch like yours? No one that I know of. I say YES to shutters!!

Thank you Tammy! You just pin all you want. Have a fabulous day!
Your porch is absolutely gorgeous! There are so many things that I love about it, I don’t know where to start. The porch itself, the rocks – love those! Is your whole house covered in those? And I like how you made a wall with the door and the ladder. The wreath over there is so pretty and I totally agree with you about the calming effect of the color scheme. The big letter is a super cute idea and last but not least, I can’t get Alan out of my head – way cute post title!

Lisa, Thank you! Yes…my whole house is rock. I fell in love with this house before I ever sat foot inside…all because of those rocks! Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
Tammy, who needs big when you have unique? I absolutely love all that stonework and the arches which give your porch that wow factor (along with your huge K!) You’ve created the perfect neutral retreat. I could just curl up on that twig bench and read all day long!

Thank you. This porch tour has been so much fun. Thank you for stopping by! Have a great week!
Love your “rock cottage” porch! The wreath is divine. I agree shutters would be a fun addition, but certainly not need. I can see perfectly distressed ones encasing your window. Great being on tour with you my friend!
Oh & I need the “K”

Looks absolutely beautiful Tammy. Magical, whimsical and cozy!
Thank you!! This was so much fun! have a great week!
My children’s paternal grandparents lived in one of those little rock cottages in the Ozarks. It had a small porch and it was wonderful. Their grandpa was a stone mason and did the rock work on the house and many other houses in south central Missouri. Those places are still there and a wonderful memory of Grandpa B.
Your rock cottage is beautiful and I love the porch!
My house is really old…but it had so much charm, I couldn’t resist it. I actually agreed to buy it…before we went inside! Have an awesome week!
Luv it!!! I am doing a muted Fall this year as well. Your porch is wonderfully done!
Hugs, Gee
