Our Fall Backyard 2017

Added a few fall touches to our backyard and I wanted to share them with you. I love fall, typically in California it still means warm days but the nights start to get chilly.

I sprinkled around a few pumpkins and kept with the same theme of white and green pumpkins just like I did on our fall front porch.

LOVE our RUG, I mean really love it! We got it in the spring and it has held up so well, it still looks brand new. It really anchors the space and at the time of this posting it’s on sale, find it HERE.

Found this little piece of wood years ago and I love using it with my fall decor. You can’t beat nature! I also accented our mantle with my favorite shade of mums.

Years ago we took out the existing fire pit and had this fireplace built. I love the heat it puts out and the character it adds to the backyard.

I just love the combo of this pot, the succulents and this shade of pumpkin. Succulents are my favorite and have saved me so much money over the years. I started using more and more succulents in our yard a few years ago, they are so hardy and even thrive with neglect. The PERFECT plant for me.

We’ve had this patio set for years, it’s held up so well and the perfect size for our intimate sized yard-aka small! Find the loveseat HERE, the chairs HERE, and the table HERE.

This week I spruced up our front porch for fall, I wanted to keep it simple this year. I added in some vibrant colored plants and a few natural pumpkins for a fresh fall look.

This year I’m sticking to white and green pumpkins, I got rid of all my plastic pumpkins at the end of last year because I love the irregular shapes and unique textures of the real deals.
I found these gray and brass baskets at Michaels, and thought they’d be perfect on the porch. I just plopped in some mums, and to keep from seeing the containers through the basket, I stapled some dark grey burlap all the way the inside of the baskets.

I found the huge mum at my local grocery store of all places. It was half the price of what the nursery was selling this size for and the color was perfect!

I have left up this boxwood wreath year round, I love how it blends with every season and brightens up our dark front door.

I layered a large welcome mat over an outdoor rug to add in extra texture and interest. There are so many cute welcome mats out right now, I linked a few of my favorites below!

This is the first spot to get some fall touches, but I will be busy all week bringing fall inside and can’t to share my fall home tour next week!
