Ready for Fall

In June, I re-painted my front porch chair and an old ladder white.  See that post HERE.  It had a definite summer, beachy theme.  Here's a pic of the end result:

It's been a long, hot summer here in Iowa.  After a few months of watering at least once a day, I got a little lazy, so the plants weren't looking so nice.  This is Labor Day weekend, so I decided to change to more of an autumn theme.  Here's a picture of the area now:

The bird pillow was on clearance from Lowe's for $5.99.  The large mum was about $10 and the little one was $1.  I switched the blue insulators for brown, added a mason jar with a candle nestled in unpopped popcorn, and brought the rug out of the basement.  Very little expense, but a completely new look for fall.
