A Bit of Fall Decorating

We have guests coming next week so I have been working on cleaning and doing a bit if Fall decorating.

 

It's tough to think Fall when it's 95 degrees outside .  Thankfully, I have ceiling fans on this porch and it is very shady so it's quite comfortable. I bought these copper mercury glass luminarias and placed them on the sideboard along with some wrought iron snakes and bat coasters.  Click for a closer look.

I scrubbed down the entire porch and all of the furniture.  I painted the trim around the windows black.  In the spring the entire house will be painted and I wanted to see how the black looks. I am really tired of the dull brown it has been for years. I hung silver mercury glass pumpkins which light up around each window.

I have a TV on this porch so we can watch football games.

The window boxes hold a variety of Fall foliage and some sunflowers will be added soon.  Not much yet but once it cools down, I will be decorating more.
