I have always wanted one of those fancy front porch entryways that I see on Instagram. You know the ones? With lots of enormous planters with beautiful, colorful flowers. And a bench with pillows for lounging and the layering of an indoor rug with an outdoor mat. Those are my #frontporchgoals.
That is is not what I have. I live in Arizona. It's extremely hot and dusty. The only flowers that survive (my) front porch are succulents that flower. Pillows and indoor rugs would last like five minutes in the dessert -- if the sun doesn't get them first, the numerous dust storms eventually will.
Therefore, this is what I have:
It all starts with a lovely wreath. Doesn't it always start a wreath? It does for me. And this one I got at Pier One.
And these Chrysanthemums from Costco are amazing. They are so vibrant and fragrant and beautiful! Add some faux pumpkins and all of a sudden its fall!

I think in years to come it will get a bit more elaborate but for now, I think it looks good enough for someone else to think it's #frontporchgoals.
Streetview not as impressive as close up......
P.S. This year I completely skipped Halloween decor. I know.
