Making a Grand Entrance!

If you have a BIG porch, it needs to be decorated BIG! Kylee let us collaborate to elaborate our point! Here is the proof.



We had packed the Jeep so full inside with branches we had to use the rack on top! The country girl came out of Gentry today as she tied everything down with orange bailing twine. We drove slow..



This was our start. We like to work with A LOT of variety. Bushes, bushes and more bushes!
Found some treasures in our barn to share with Kylee.

Ikea material that started as table runners 3 yrs ago at Cierra's summer wedding.
 NOW, banners for Fall.

Kylee (http://www.kyleepickering.com) and I are friends who do hair. 
Today we are blog friends. We collaborated to elaborate her fall porch!

We did ask Jeff (her husband) for permission to use a lot of nails. We have a magical tree in our backyard that always adds the finishing touch to our decor. Kylee took this picture of us hanging the final piece. 


As you can see, we placed the bales of straw on top of wooden pallets that had been cut in half. We embellished her wreath with ribbons to match the decor.
Re-wrapped the summer colored cushions on her chairs with old burlap sacs. Legit from the barn, don't tell Kim (Shalana's Man and Gentry & Cierra's Dad) 

Mums in a tin bucket from Cal Ranch. 
Fresh Lavender from Shalana's garden is a welcoming scent at anyone's front door. Lavender with pumpkins is our new favorite combo. 



Floral design is inside a tomato cage wrapped in orange lights and deer antlers wire in.
(Video will explain more ~ coming this weekend)

We could be wrong but we do believe the stalks are Indian corn, which is why it has a more seeded tops with colors. Very tall and suiting to fill this big porch.



A most gratifying day.

Gentry's favorite photo of the day. I was there and it still intrigues me. If we were to see this on Pinterest or in a magazine, we would want to see more.
