Fall on the Sunporch


Just a few overdue pics from the sunporch for Fall...


Making use of the bittersweet and some deer antlers.











These next few are some of my fave pics from this season.
Just look at the face of complete innocence...








now wait a minute, girlie!










Here's the other one.









 I always have fun mixing and matching the quilts and pillows for a new look each year. 














 If you'd like to see what I did last year,
 then here are some pics from last year's porch.


 Being away from home for almost a week, I feel like I'm trying to play catch up. There are so many things I wanted to do this Fall, but taking care of my sweetie has been my top priority. We saw a specialist in St. Louis last week for his inner ear, vertigo, and hearing loss. This doctor told us more in 5 minutes than we had been given in months and months of doctors visits and therapy. Hubbs is on a medication regimen at the moment, but we have options for down the road...much more hope and confidence for recovery than we were having before. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the photos from this week on the sunporch. Ahhhh....my favorite season for decorating out here.

  4. I love when you post pictures of your sunroom, they are always inspiring! I have wicker furniture in our guest cottage at the lake and it could use a fresh look...like quilts and pillows.

    Your kitty is darling...and such a ham! Or maybe he is just trying to get at that picture of the crow!

    I hope your husband starts to feel better soon. And I'm glad you got some answers.

    XO,
    Jane

  26. I wish I could transport your sunporch with all the lovely autumn goodness to 911! The kitties would have lots of squirrels to watch from their perches. Deal?

    I'm so glad to hear your husband got good news from the doc.

  27. Your porch is so welcoming. I love the orange tea pot.

    Praying for a full recovery for your husband.

    ps. I miss our days living in MN where we could go out a pick bittersweet.

  28. Debra,
    Oh, dear friend, I adore the Fall look on your porch!!! All the traditional black, white, and orange...yet so subtly displayed. Your quilts add such softness and comfort in the space! Your kitty's antics are adorable. Makes me think of the saying, "A home is NOT a home without a cat"!!! Glad to hear you are encouraged with the news of Hubbs condition. Continued prayers coming your way.
    Fondly,
    Pat

  31. It gets frustrating, not getting any answers, doesn't it. So glad your hubby was able to get help from this doctor. Hopefully things will get better.

    I loved these photos and wanted to climb inside them! I especially like the first one that has the curious tabby cat. Beautiful photos!!

  32. Hello dear Debra, I'm not so much into fall colors but I just love how you decorated your sunporch. You've combined so many pretty elements and it turned out very cozy. I'd feel very comfortable sitting there. The Butterscotch Wafers tin is awesome.

    I'm glad to hear that the specialist could give you and your hubby some answers and hope for recovery.

    Take care, dear friend!
    Hugs to you,
    Julia

  33. Hoping your hubby gets that problem under control... I suffer from vertigo and it is miserable. Debra, I went to PT and they showed me an easy way to get rid of vertigo.... works every time. I have shared this technique with so many others and it works for them too!!!
    If you would like to e-mail me I'll share the simple exercise with you...
    Now about your porch... It is so detailed and full of beautiful fall touches. I love yellow... and I think you added the perfect amount of pretty golden yellow to make your porch look so warm!!!

  40. I love all of your festive Fall decor. It looks so nice out there. Your cat had me laughing! She looked like she was trying to just blend in with everything in the first pic and then she just couldn't stay still one more minute! Ha! So sorry to hear that your husband has been ill. Hopefully, he will get back to normal soon.

  46. Glad that your hubby is on the mend. I love your sunporch with all the great autumn decorations, and what a beautiful feline assistant you had--very photogenic as well :)

  47. LOL it's all beautiful but your kitty makes it real

    Since I put up cornstalks a few weeks ago ( that included CORN ) I only need to view my cat's posture as she sits at the windowsill to know whether a neighborhood squirrel is outside enjoying some corn kernals.

    He comes and gets a few, travels up the steps to sit at the top and eats his feast.

    She on the other hand goes beserk :)

  48. You are so lucky to have such a lovely bright and sunshine-y place to not only decorate, but to sit and enjoy as well Debra! We are always delighted with your talented ideas :)

    We'll be saying a prayer for you and your hubby...have faith!

  49. Had to laugh out loud at "Wait just a minute, girlie". Your kitty is so cute. It seems that kitties always want to be part of the display, too, especially if it's near a window. Your sunroom is so bright and pretty. Cute crows. I hope your husband is feeling better soon.

  52. Oh Debra, kitty looks a bit mischieveous. Can't blame him for wanting to check out your wonderful decor. Love all of the vintage touches! The old tins, the chenille pumpkin, the owl in the cage, and your quilts give it all a cozy feel. Thanks so much for sharing with SYC. Sure hope hubby gets better soon! That vertigo is bad. My FIL had it a few years ago but finally did get relief.
