Ideas for creating a beautiful fall potting bench with seasonal flowers like mums, yarrow and pumpkins.
We all love fall porch decor, but that’s just one way to bring autumn into your exterior decorating. I had so much fun decking out our potting bench for the season! Our potting bench is so handy when I’m potting plants and flowers in the spring and the fall, but it doesn’t just have to be utilitarian – it can be pretty too!
Keep a collection of beautiful pots and planters, and change them up with the seasons. These scalloped terracotta pots are gorgeous and bring in some subtle fall colors.
Coordinating your fall plants can keep the look cohesive. I like to choose mums and flowers in shades of white and purple.
This year I brought in yarrow, which is a beautiful addition. And cabbage is always such a pretty touch for autumn with its rich purples and deep greens.
Of course pumpkins go absolutely everywhere this time of year. I always gravitate toward cinderella pumpkins for their soft pastel shades, mixed with plenty of classic white pumpkins of course! Stack them on the ground or pile them in a gathering basket.
Since the potting bench should be useful as well as beautiful, be sure
to include the essentials you’ll need as you do your fall planting –
gardening tools, gloves, a watering can, a basket for harvest and other
necessities make the potting bench as convenient as it is pretty.

The first everything with a baby is simply too much fun. So far we’ve had the first Halloween (she was one day old), Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and now Easter. Though a 4-month-old certainly doesn’t “need” much or understand what’s happening, it’s still such a joy to shower her with fun little goodies to make…
Well, I finally have {most} of an entire room of our house to share! The living room and kitchen are the only two rooms that are mostly “done,” so today I’m sharing our formal living room. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, but I also know this is definitely the “first round” of…
Hello friends! Are you loving all the Christmas house tours going on right now in the blog world? I know I am! I am hoping to join in Jennifer Rizzo’s Holiday Housewalk again, so I thought I would do a post on each room and then join her party with a complete tour. So today…
Hello! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? If you follow over on Instagram you probably heard the news that we are expecting our second child in July – a baby boy! I never feel very good during pregnancy so the blog and posting have had to take a bit of a back seat as I’ve…
What I love about our house is that it’s a completely blank slate. It has great molding, nice flooring and a pretty neutral color on all the walls. But some spaces can look a little blah. From the moment we moved in I knew I wanted to give our main floor powder room a little…
I have to admit, I think the options for little boy clothes and toys have come a long way just in the last couple of years. It was difficult to find classic boy toys and items in light blue when I was expecting Evan, but I’m happy to see the options are growing. I’ve curated…
