Always on the hunt for the perfect outdoor decor, I found 10 home exterior Fall favorites to take me right on through Thanksgiving.  Because, I’m not really into the traditional Halloween witches and cobwebs decor, finding these treasures are just what I need to get me into the Fall spirit.  Turns out, I have so many favorite finds I can’t wait to get started on my porch!

Lantern:

If you’ve read any of my blogs, you know I love lanterns! They are a hot trend this Fall. Lanterns send the perfect amount of light, easy to move, and affordable. These Duomo lanterns may also be purchased with candles that will illuminate at dusk. I bought the large lanterns for our home in Atlanta and they have now moved with my family to Florida. With the salt air and environment I thought the quality would suffer; however, they still look beautiful. Check out these Duomo outdoor stunners!

Creekside Farms Wreath:

This beautiful Creekside Farms wreath captures the spirit of Fall.  Made from dried lavender and fresh rosemary, the fragrance will stay true through the season and with a spritz of water comes to life. The different sizes make it a wonderful centerpiece or to welcome guests on your front porch. Each wreath is grown and harvested by a small family-operated farm in Northern California.  Not only unique but harvested by hand.

Lumbar Pillow:

This Surada outdoor  lumbar pillow is simple with contrasting moody neutrals. It could work anywhere on your indoor or outdoor space. Handwoven with polyester yarn, it’s made for outdoor durability. The tassels, texture, a deep color make It one of my favorites.  It’s not pumpkins and candy, but puts out an Autumn vibe to keep your porch in style through the whole season.

Cozy Throw Blanket:

The made in the USA Pendleton Blankets are not only gorgeous but come with a great story of family.  Pendleton was started in the early 1900’s by brothers. The blanket patterns were designed to appeal to Native Americans because they were the first customers of the Bishop brothers. The  geometric patterns and wool fabric were a prized possession and these blankets were given as gifts for births, weddings, and funerals. Contemporary Native American artists have created some of the designs on shelves today. These items have raised over $1 million dollars for the American Indian College Fund.

Candles:

This wooden candle vessel can’t be beat!  And the best part is the candle can be refilled if sent back to Olivia Dawn Candle Co. Olivia Dawn Candles also make the perfect gift. Inside every candle box you will receive a random act of kindness note. After all, Angela, the founder of Olivia Down candles, believes in they are a reminder to spread joy and kindness.

Grandin Rod Cushioned Dining Chair:

Outdoor furniture is tricky. Comfort is key but you also need furniture that can withstand rain and weather. We call it the fire drill… running outside as the rain begins to take up cushions. That’s no way to spend your weekend! We have a big family and love to host. Our Fall dinners turn into hours of story telling, games, wine, and friends.  These Grandin Rod chairs are sturdy, easy to clean, and have comfort cushioning beneath the wicker seat. I definitely recommend for your outdoor gatherings this Fall.

Modern Outdoor Fireplace:

What first caught my eye was the fun color and shape of this modern chiminea. All Modern has some great options if you’re looking for something different. A fire pit is hard to beat but don’t discount a chiminea as another option. This Terraflame Lloyd Modern Fireplace runs on gel fuel and made for indoor outdoor use.

Outdoor Lights:

Another huge part of creating a beautiful outdoor space is lighting.  You want to create a soft warm glow without the headache.  Finding these Stargazer Commercial Lights is a game changer for me! They provide the perfect illumination without being too bright. I also like the temperature, which is a fancy way to say the color. Softer white lights make everyone look and feel a little better. There are so many tips for outdoor lighting that can make or break a celebration.

Glassware:

Ready to host the neighbors for wine? I’m always looking for outdoor dinner wear and wine glasses that look fun, while being outdoor friendly. I found these Morgan Wine Glasses at Anthropologie and absolutely love them. But, what’s the good and the bad? Good: They re colorful and the earth tones look beautiful, the shape makes them less tippy, and they are made of borosilicate glass which means they’re free of harmful chemicals. Bad: We spend a lot of time outside and these glasses are fragile. I worry that they will break and someone will get hurt. That said, they are always a crowd pleaser!

Firewood Rack:

We spend a lot of time around the fire pit every Fall and early Winter.  I’m so happy to find this beautiful Ash and Ember Crescent Firewood Rack.  It’s weather resistant with a powder coated finish and very sturdy. No more running back and forth to grab firewood from the corner of the yard.  I’m loading this thing with wood and leaving it on the back patio!
