Galvanized Outdoor Planters + Friday Favorites
Updating your outdoor planters is a sure way to observe the transition into fall. I’ve already noticed so many people on Instagram have changed out their front porch planters and pots filled with summer flowers and replaced them with mums. After a quick trip into town where I found Sugar Pumpkins for 59 cents and then a trip to Trader Joe’s, you would think it was at least mid-October from the look of my front porch. But, why not?
For the last several years I’ve used a combination of galvanized pots that I’ve mostly found at Ikea over the years. It seems that the popularity of galvanized everything is still going strong. I’ve rounded up a few of my favorites. There’s just something about fall, pumpkins and mums and a galvanized pot that goes together. You can practically smell the scent of pumpkin spice in the air. I think I might need to make a batch of these. Last year’s fall front door looked a little different, I almost forgot about the cut out bats!

Have you ever wondered what the best souvenir is for every state? This article lists every state. I have to check out our own state’s souvenir from Mystic Knotwork.

Planning out Madeline’s Tiny New York City Apartment and ordered this macramé plant holder.
I love how denim is making a comeback. It’s not that it ever really left, but it’s moving up the list again of popularity. We used to have slipcovered denim sofas from Pottery Barn. I wish we still had them. Denim slipcovers never wear out. These adorable “Indigo” baby booties from bink & boo pairs well with this new Moroccan Denim Pouf from Serena & Lily. Now this would be the perfect baby gift!
So this is the last weekend of Summer! Hope you enjoy it and as you can see…Fall, I’m ready for ya!

Lynne,
It seems so French! And they are typically inexpensive so if you change your mind…although I’ve had a few of mine from Ikea for about 8 years!

Are you able to show a picture of the inside of your front door, so that I can see how the blinds are on the door? I’m curious how you attached them. Thanks!
