The Foyer – Part One
I am happy to report that The Garrett Home is officially decked out in all of its Fall finery. The final chore remaining is putting away the myriad of boxes and containers.
Some of you may have forgotten that my son and daughter-in-law are expecting my second grandson. She is sue on Nov 5th, but the full moon is Nov 2d. 🙂
I will be leaving next week to go to Colorado Springs to await his birth.
This is the bombe’ chest on the right side of my foyer. I will share pics of the left side later, with the antique bench. Hint: lots of pillows!
A rust-colored silk runner is topped with two glittered pumpkins. The larger one I simply placed on top of a gold-leafed footed bowl, and added a pre-made silk candle wreath.
You guys know how I love to fill my candleholders with food as a filler. Cornmeal, sugar, coffee beans….don’t ask me why. It’s the cook in me I guess.
If you missed my Fall Porch Makeover, please scroll down and see my lastest post. In the meantime, I thought I would share some pics I took tonight to give you an idea of what how porch appears at night.
…a close-up
…and what you see coming up the walkway…..

I’m afraid I would be licking my finger and sticking it in the candle holder every time I went by the brown sugar and cinnamon–or trying to get my tongue down into the brandy snifter =) Yummy idea!

Oh Barb, this is stunning. I love that pheasant feather wreath. It is so pretty. Your console in the entry is beautiful with the pretty pumpkins and the candles and pheasant. Your porch is just wonderful. It really is gorgeous both in the day time and at night. I can’t wait to hear all about the new baby. I know you will be in 7th heaven and to get to see Cole again too. Hugs, Marty

Love the new look for your porch! “Fall” colors are my favorites. I do have a question about the lamps on your porch. Are they just regular lamps or made to be used outdoors? Thanks!

Barb, aren’t you afraid of ants finding their way to these? Opps! Didn’t think of that, right? Dump the mixture before you leave or put in ziploc bag in your freezer until you come back. Taking warm clothes I hope! Snow boots?

Barb, this all looks just gorgeous! I love the pheasant feather wreath. And your porch is so inviting. I think with a good book and a cup of tea I might never leave that space. Have a safe trip and I know you’ll have a wonderful time seeing your family again. Hugs, Kat
