We have only lived here for 5 months so this Showcase was the perfect opportunity to get me motivated to begin making this my families House of Belonging. Belong has deep meaning to me. So I immediately go to what makes " me " feel as if I want to make myself at home here. Everyroom in my home...starting with the Front Porch... needs to speak "you are safe and at peace".
Before ~ it was a stark & cold house that resembles so many houses in our area. No traces of yesterday when homes were built with care ~ each one unique and had a story to tell.
Look what just a little time and creativity can make? NOW THE STORY BEGINS....here I brought in the touches of cream & black ~ old book pages & sheet music for a touch of vintage ~ corn husks { which were cut down by my husband from a corn field } they are not readily available around here just yet ~ a few more weeks we will add more =) leaves & mums for nature and some old things from my workshop and VOILA!
Throughout the week I will be sharing how I put the front porch together = )
Thank you so very much for stopping by and being a part of creating the story of our House of Belonging from the Front Porch & thank you to the Inspired Room for INSPIRING me to just START somewhere.

Love this! So creative - although I love the oranges and reds of fall, I think the cream and black is such a nice change and works so so well for autumn! So glad to have found your blog!

What a lovely entryway! I gave up a beautiful porch when we sold our last house...BUT I do have a column, and you inspired me to go get some corn!
What a beautiful job you did here on your porch...love the colors that you went with.
Blessings,

Beautiful... so inviting and perfect for fall!
What a beautiful job you did. You took such a generic home and made it scream WeLcOmE. Your ideas are creative and special. This is my first visit and I will be back.
Happy Harvest,
Donna
Love this! So tasteful. I'll be following you now :)
Hello! Found you from THE INSPIRED ROOM. What a gorgeous front porch! I love the black and cream that you used. Especially the sheet music covered pumpkin! I'm a piano teacher, so I might just have to use that idea to decorate around my piano.- I can tell by the entryway that a cozy, welcoming person lives there :-). If you love Fall as much as I do, come check out my Fall Friendship Swap. Today's the last day to sign up for it! ~Kristin from Windy Poplars
I love what you've done. I love every aspect of it.
Looks just beautiful! Loving the pumpkin wrapped in music notes!
I love your rustic touches! That chair is AWESOME!

It is SO welcoming and not too in-your-face fall, which is harder to avoid than one would think. Well done!
