Fall Porch Fun Link Up, and some other things...

The display on top of my living room TV cabinet. It was pouring down rain today, and I got soaked getting branches for my display, it always rains when I need natural materials for things, why is that? The other day I needed moss for a birdhouse, yep, it was raining...Up close on my cabinet, I love the do-over Baby Boo pumpkins, the before picture is below...yuck, what a difference a little paint can do!

These are the UGLY, UGLY before pumpkins, they were really cheap! I thought they would look great spray painted, you can see one in the photo above, they turned out really cute!
OH YEA! PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE CAKE, so moist and wonderful, all organic, no guilt...OK, maybe a little! :)
A picture of my dining room, I will have to post soon with the before, I painted all my oak furniture cream, and now I may paint it all black! Ya never know with me...
So here is my front porch AGAIN, SORRY LADIES, I wanted to be part of this link...
Link up for the Fall Porch Party, http://www.commonground-debrasvintagedesigns.blogspot.com/, there is some wonderful blogs to check out and some really awesome fall decorating!

I adore my huge wrap around porch, and enjoy decorating it for fall! This red bench sits right next to my door and I love sitting out there with a cup of hot tea in the fall mornings, right now I can't sit there cause it is now a vignette! :) Oh well, I hadn't meant for it to be a decoration, I brought my pumpkins outside and set them there, "Huh! Those look great on that bench!" and there they stayed...
My BFF came for a fall visit, she's a whizz bang floral designer and we worked on this flower box till it was super fabulous, pop over and visit her at, http://www.sweetvictoriaantiques.blogspot.com/,
she has some nice fall decor to show off too...
This is a fun corner of my porch, the little wheel barrow is fun to stuff full of pumpkins! Hope you enjoyed my Fall Porch Party, it's your turn now!

You really have the most fabulous porch! It must be fun to decorate for all the various seasons because it's so big and inviting. I only have a small stoop but I try to dress it up seasonally. Your friend worked her magic on your window box ~ it's gorgeous! I'm going to go pay her a visit.

Hi Donna, Despite the fact that the words "wrap around porch" make me green with envy ~ I have to say yours is gorgeous!! I love the window box and the little wheelbarrow! Your display above your tv cabinet is wonderful too! Love the idea of painting "cheap" pumpkins! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Smiles, Julie

Hi ~ Came back for a second visit! I really love the Autumn painting on top of your tv cabinet. Is it an oil painting? It depicts the season so well. Your carrot cake looks delicious - mmmmmmm, it's my favourite! Your friend's blog is beautiful!

your house is just beautiful, i loved going through the pictures, the cabinet in the first picture is very rustic but looks too good while the hutch in another picture is just smashing, its so beautiful looking and displays the china collection so nicely
