Hello friends! Thanks so much for all the love on my Fall Living Room post last week and my mother’s chat video! I love this time of year, and I enjoy decorating everything to reflect the season inside and out:-)
I had the opportunity to decorate a porch for a client at Balsam Mountain Preserve last week and wanted to share that with you!
This is a gorgeous house in an amazing setting at Balsam Mountain Preserve, so it really doesn’t need much to reflect the season. I went to Darnell Farms in Bryson City, and picked out everything I needed except mums and crotons, which I found at Lowes, and I love how this turned out!
I like to keep things organic and coordinate with the natural elements of the home as well. I also keep in mind the window color to base my color palette on.
I picked a variety of heirloom squash, pumpkins and gourds in the colors I thought would work then added mums and crotons in the same palette.
I also worked around the existing landscape and planters her landscaper does such a beautiful job with.
Obviously, I didn’t use corn stalks and scarecrows, etc., because I don’t think any of that would be appropriate for this house and just keep it pretty natural.
I love how it turned out and the homeowners did as well:-)

Thank you so much Jackie☺️☺️
Looks absolutely beautiful!! This is the best time of year and that entrance is so inviting!! Love all the colors and so cozy!! The quality of your pictures are really gorgeous! How a magazine hasn’t snapped you up is beyond me. Hopefully when your house has been in magazines they used the pictures that you took? Enjoy the fall with it’s crisp cool air and smell of apple pie in the oven!

Your decorating, especially for fall, is a breath of fresh air! Fall colors, reds, oranges, golds, creams, greens and browns. with all those touches of nature added in. It is just lovely! Thank you for being one of the few to use COLOR. I never tire of your posts, and often revisit them for inspiration. You are truly a treasure.
