Hi there friends! Welcome to my cozy budget friendly fall porch, inspired by the coast. Living steps from the bay the colors and textures seem to organically infiltrate my design choices, even in the fall. My goal this year was to be as thrifty as possible. Going without the last few months has made me realize how much I already have and how much I do not need. A big thank you to my friend Kristen from Ella Claire and Co. for hosting this festive tour.

I mixed my summer plants with some fall foliage and pumpkins to give that seasonal touch. Our porch is rather large so I treat it like a room. I brought out pillows from my shop, along with some older covers I already had. All of the baskets I reused from previous years as well. I did purchase new candles because I am obsessed with any fall scent but I did get them for a steal at Home Goods.
We have an area on Long Island called the North Fork, it is the absolute best for farmsteads and pumpkin picking but it does get expensive so by mixing where I purchased them I saved a lot of money. Grocery stores are hidden gems this time of year.
See those pumpkins above? I grew them! Yup, you heard right! I threw a bunch of pumpkins in my garden for the animals last year and these grew. This year I am harvesting the seeds from these pumpkins on the porch. I am really looking forward to saving money next year!
We also got a new light!!!! It was time, living so close to the water we needed a new one. It’s amazing how such a small change can have such a large impact.
The cement planter is filled with oregano. I also have two olive plants our here and mixed them with mums and cabbage.
I threw a faux fur on the curved wicker barrel chair and it does the trick.
You can also check out how this area looks at night lit by candlelight.
