I have been sorting through things I already have in the cottage to
decide how to transform the summery white, soft pink and green decor
on my front porch.
I'm not sure what I want to do. Should I choose the deep reds and some warm
tones of rust? I'm not much of an orange girl, and y'all know it takes me a
while to get with the program. If I choose the deep reds it will be easy
to transition into Christmas. I can compliment this with lots of white
pumpkins, seed pods, apples and pine cones.
I pulled out this fabric swatch. I am loving the colors ~ they look so rich
and warm and I love the way it compliments this old marmalade crock I
found yesterday at a consignment shop. I could use it and some coordinating
fabrics for pillows on the wicker chairs.
Or what about this organic look? Or a combination of the two?
Let me know what you think. I am hoping to complete the porch by
this weekend.
I am linking up to these parties for more inspiration ~
and
Wow Bentley ~ the squirrels are racing around like crazy outside!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
I like red best, too. The only time I like a little bit of orange is fall. The organic look is good, too. Maybe you should combine the two! Linda
ReplyDeleteI love the red and you're right, the transition to Christmas would be a snap. I also love the marmelade crock and that beautiful swatch. Susan go with your feeling ~ it's always the best. Can't wait to see it done!
ReplyDeleteI like the red and deep rust too.. Orange just isnt a color that makes me smile. most of my fall is done in greens or at least muted rust tones if I use them.
ReplyDeleteThe red suits you best. Go with what you love♥
ReplyDeleteI just love your header with the Scotch plaid. Everything is perfect for now and to transend Christmas come! Go with the red, that's you! So great you read the book, A Place of Yes, as it's such a positive book and I like that. Thank you for your lovely visit. Hugs, FABBY
ReplyDeleteA combination would be nice.

I like the idea of using the deep reds and then transitioning to Christmas -- you could do the same by incorporating white and green.
ReplyDeleteI love your header too! Great finds. Thanks for stopping by Lakeshore Cottage and commenting about my tree bench swing. Come back soon and enter my Ramsign Enamel sign giveaway. The signs are great for house numbers or inside on just about anything...I just love them!
ReplyDeleteHi. Thank you for stopping by my blog and for becoming a follower!
ReplyDeleteI like the reds, also. My porch is completely bare right now. It is suppose to be getting new paint. That is if I can get back to it before the leaves fall. LOL. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
