Fall Front Porch + Weatherproofing Any Fabric!

Hello Fall! September is in full swing and I’m one happy lady. Hopefully, Mother Nature isn’t too far behind and we can really start soaking up all the Fall goodness- cozy nights, s’mores, pumpkin patches AHH! Last week I shared my Fall Home Decor inside the house. It ended up being a lengthy post so I saved my Fall Front Porch for this week.

I was so ready to switch our decorations out for Fall, I was over summer and my flowers died (what’s new). I love how cozy Fall decor is and I had so much fun putting this fall front porch together. I will share more details on everything at the bottom of the post!

I love layering for Fall. The main stores I went to for our decorations were Target, Home Goods, Hobby Lobby and Walmart. Grabbing baskets is a fun decoration you can reuse each season- fill it with blankets, pumpkins, pillows or all three! I also love these wooden pumpkins. I will add some real pumpkins soon. I added this buffalo rug from Hobby Lobby under our current doormat and I love how it looks! It freshened up our whole porch without spending too much.

One of our most popular Fall Front Porch questions is about our pillows. I have the HARDEST time finding outdoor pillows I like so I ended up buying normal pillows from Home goods and spraying them with Scotchgard Outdoor Waterproof Spray. You can find it at Target, Walmart, Lowe’s, etc.. You just spray a light coat on any outdoor fabric- we did pillows, bed skirt, sheet, rug. After the first coat dries, repeat three or four times. It didn’t leave any discoloration or residue and you can’t even tell we sprayed it! We used two bottles for our Fall front porch.

You can see where we didn’t waterproof the old pillows below and they are dirty, I hope to keep my new pillows looking fresh!
