If you are coming from Not Just A Housewife on the FALL PORCH BLOG HOP welcome!!!

FALL OUTDOOR DECORATING WITH LANTERNS- Here's an easy way to light up your fall decorating

Our outside decor needs to be bright and splashed with lots of colors so it can be seen from the road! So I used lots of orange and white and black and a little bit of bling! Gotta love a tad of bling!

This year’s fall decorating was inspired by these oh, so pretty AUTUMN FLORAL LED LANTERNS! I found them at Kirkland’s

These great lanterns came decorated and that made my fall decorating so so easy! The pretty spray of fall saturated leaves and berries and pinecones and a sweet bow comes already attached to the lantern. I just had to fluff and they were ready to use!

I want these lanterns to give a big fall welcome to all who visit StoneGable! 

I placed each lantern on a front step so all three lanterns could be easily seen. Then I added a large white pumpkin to the porch and sat a white bowl filled with mums next to the lantern on the top step.

Finally, I filled in the rest of the fall vignette in with orange and white pumpkins. I love orange and white together! I mixed faux and real pumpkins together. It’s hard to tell which is which!

  4. Nan, Odessa, De says:

    Lovely as usual.
    I would like the lanterns and the gift certificate.
    I think lanterns are very expensive.
    Your steps make it almost worth the investment.

    Have a blessed day,

  5. Ooooo…such a nice giveaway!! So far my outdoor fall decor consists of my artificial pumpkins, leaves, and wreaths, mixed in among my outdoor seating areas. I’ll add real pumpkins later.

  6. Suzanne Ludwic says:

    I love the lanterns and the fact that they are already trimmed for fall. I have not been to Kirkland’s lately but I will be visiting our local store today after seeing the lanterns!

  7. Marilyn Soto says:

    Love the idea of placing the mum in a large white bowl. Great for making sure all the elements are seen from the road….I’m going to do it !

  8. Love the lantern’s!

  9. Love and adore the decorations on the beautiful lanterns! This is so lovely on your steps!

  10. Beautiful as always…

  11. Very pretty ! I love Kirlands, they have so many NEET things to buy !

  12. Laurene Shewan says:

    I love multi-purpose items like these lanterns. Right away, I thought about their potential when we have power failures by removing the decorations and lighting those candles.

  13. Kirkland’s is one of my go to stores for the home. They never disappoint. Your fall steps looks so festive! Love the white and orange pumpkins together. How nice that the lanterns came already decorated. I bet they cast a warm glow of “Welcome” at night! Thanks for the giveaway, and all the inspiration that I’ll use for my front porch.

  14. Gorgeous porch vignette … the lanterns are fabulous! I’m especially loving the white pumpkins!

  15. nancy mcneill says:

    Love the lanterns

  16. nancy mcneill says:

    love the lanterns and the white pumpkins!!!! beautiful

  17. The lanterns sure add a pop of color! Can’t wait to see the whole porch when it’s all done!

  18. You are always so creative! I can’t wait to see what Kirklands has to offer.

  19. Linda Smith says:

    I love all things Kirkland and I love your blog Yvonne!!!

    Linda

  20. Nancy Moore says:

    Lanterns are the best! They can be changed out to fit the season and always look new again!

  21. I like the idea of mixing the real and the faux, I like to use Red as well , so perhaps I will paint the lanterns a deep fall Red. Thanks for sharing .

  22. Lanterns are such a current trend in home decor & so versatile to use for each season. Great way to also light an entry way.

  23. The lanterns are wonderful! The Fall accents you added makes them a welcoming display for your guests. I love the pops of orange; that just says Fall to me. Thank you for hosting this great giveaway!

  24. Steps look great! I can’t imagine getting to spend $100 at Kirklands all at once. What fun!

  25. The porch decor looks fabulous! I love, love, love the lanterns (and the fact that they come already decorated!) that’s half the work right there. I also noticed that you put your mums in a white bowl. What a great idea. I actually have 3 big white nesting bowls I could use for Fall flowers. I’m on it! My house sits back from the road a bit also, so I try to decorate with bright colors seasonally so it can be seen from the road. This year I actually moved my Fairy Houses closer to the road nestled in with my landscaping and received many compliments on it. Another great post today Yvonne. Thank you!

  26. Love the embellishments you’ve added to the lanterns and the way you’ve staggered them on the steps, Yvonne! Very welcoming!

  27. I am so ready for fall this year too. I like the lanterns!

  28. Can’t wait for cooler weather so I can break out the fall decor. Thanks for the post on lanterns. Love them!

  29. Yvonne,
    Yesterday before the rain my husband picked my pumpkins for me, I’ve got my porch and yard all
    Decked out for fall, however mine never has the elegance that yours does!!

  30. I love, love LOVE those lanterns! Thanks for the ideas, and the links. I will definitely check out Kirkland’s lanterns.

  31. Peggy spencer says:

    Love Kirklands.Just what I need to welcome fall

  32. Pretty Lanterns! Love the white bowl with the mums. I never “think” to go to Kirklands. Will have to stop in!

  33. I love lanterns. There isn’t a season that I decorate for that I don’t incorporate the use of a lantern or two. They are so versatile and come in so many colors, shapes and sizes. Love your porch steps and look forward the the reveal of your entire porch dressed for Fall!!!

    I do have a question, Yvonne….since these lanterns are on the steps and not under the cover of a roof, do you bring them up onto the porch when it rains?

  34. Karen VanLoo says:

    I love love love those lanterns! Now I want to go to Kirkland’s! We have a huge one in my town, so convenient and I love to shop there. I’m decorating for Fall starting next week! It’s going to be 99 degrees here today, and all I’m dreaming about is Fall. Fortunately, the weather man says it’s going to cool down a little bit, so I’m thrilled and am super excited to start decorating for Fall. I would love a few of these lanterns for my front porch.

  35. LOVE the lantern step-ups!!! Wow – what a super simple idea —-

  36. Very lovely. You certainly are talented.

  37. My daughters have all shopped Kirkland’s but this is the first time I have gone on the facebook page, love the inspiration to begin my decorating. The white pumpkins are perfect, and I am ready to start this week end …thank you for sharing places to shop, ideas and the give aways …

  38. I love lanterns too! I have several in my home and on our back deck. I’d love to have some for our front porch as well. I don’t see where these are weatherproof. Are they OK in the rain/snow? I have a new Kirklands right around the corner from me. Going to check it our tonight!

  39. Lanterns are one of my favorite decor staples! And fall — and Kirkland’s — are my favorite! I guess I have lots of favorites! haha Yvonne, you always inspire me and I can’t wait until this weekend when I will finally have time to do my porch! Happy Fall! 🙂

  40. So pretty Yvonne! I love the added touches to the lanterns! xo

  41. Love Love Love those Lanterns!!!

  42. Valerie Tingley says:

    We are lucky to enjoy a very large outdoor front patio space leading up to the front door and I take full advantage of it this time year. I have an antique goat cart that gets filled with pumpkins from the local farm, more pumpkins dotting that patio and steps leading up to the front door, lanterns (mine are not as pretty as yours, though), and my favorite edition purchased a couple of years ago – a life-sized rustic metal tom turkey!

  43. Julie Maier says:

    What wonderful and fun porch decorating ideas!

  44. Carol Elkins says:

    I love the lanterns and mums on your porch! I know where I’m going today – to Kirkland’s to look for these lanterns!

  45. Mary Kay Lucchesi says:

    I am off to Kirklands .

  46. Carol Brooks says:

    I wish I had stairs to do this but I have a wagon to decorate for the fall.

  47. I am off to Kirkland.

  48. Cheryl Brazie says:

  51. Sherry Pelle says:

    I love these lanterns and pumpkins on your porch! So pretty!!

  52. Martha Franks says:

    Beautiful! Like you, Yvonne, I love fall- the weather, the color! Not too much the football, but I do enjoy watching others enjoy it.Now, excuse me but I have to go decorate my porch!

  53. Mary Beth Johnson says:

    Love the look of the lanterns on the steps!

  54. Sue Turner says:

  57. Do you worry about the candles melting in the sun ?

  58. Beautiful love those lanterns. Thanks for the great idea!

  59. Lisa Kornhaus says:

    So simple, yet so lovely! The lanterns, pumpkins and mums definitely say Fall is here. Yippee!

    I am so looking forward to decorating for Fall and using these ideas. I can do this. Thanks Yvonne.

    I love everything about this design group. It is really inviting. Makes me want to go inside for a cup of cider or pumpkin lattes.
    Welcome fall

  62. Beautiful! I love that the lanterns are already embellished.

  63. JULIE Frey says:

    Oh I would love to do something like that to my front! I have some mums and artificial pumpkins and colorful leaves. But we have so many squirrels and raccoons that if I use real pumpkins and other real “food” things they would get eaten right away! I tried to do “Indian corn” one year and the squirrels ate it all! I LOVE LOVE Fall also!!! I love the colors etc.

  64. I love that lanterns are so versatile and can be decorated for anytime of the year!

  65. Wow love that pop of fall color with the lantern..too cute….a gift certificate sounds like a dream and Kirkland is not far away Yea

  66. Linda Charlton says:

    I love those lanterns. They ae decorated so nicely. You always do a beautiful job.

  67. Love the look of your porch Yvonne! I’m a big fan of lanterns inside AND outside the house, and the fact that these ones are already put together and gorgeous makes decorating so easy. I wonder how envious your neighbors are that your house always looks so fabulous?!?!

  68. Fall is my favorite time of year!

  69. Dorothy Salinas says:

    Your front porch is absolutely gorgeous! I love Kirkland’s and they are so reasonable! Thank you for your great ideas!

  70. Beautiful lanterns and great price which includes the LED candle and floral! Unfortunately, they are sold out online. I love the combination of lantern and pumpkins.

  71. Your porch looks so beautiful.

  72. Absolutely beautiful! So welcoming…so fall.

  73. What a wonderful greeting to your home! Love lanterns! We don’t have a Kirkland’s but just checked their online store. They have such wonderful things at great prices!

  74. WENDY HOWELL says:

    Everything looks wonderful!!! So inviting!

  75. Patty Williford says:

    Thank you for all the wonderful ideas!

  76. These lanterns look so inviting! It’s almost as if they are saying, “Welcome back, Autumn!”. Simply gorgeous!

  77. Your front entry is welcoming with the lanterns flickering with warmth along with the Fall accents.

  78. Joy Bennett says:

    Love this porch vignette, Yvonne! It looks beautiful–just like always! Now I have to go to Kirkland’s…

  79. Sandra G. McNichol says:

    It’s really too bad that on the same day that your post promotes these lanterns, clicking on your provided link to these lanterns show that they are not available for online purchase….?? That doesn’t seem like very good planning on Kirkland’s behalf. I would have purchased them.

  80. Bernadette says:

    Wish I had a porch!!!

  81. It is not just Coke – everything is better with lanterns! Such an inviting porch. Go Bruins! Go Kirklands! Another winning game for Yvonne!

  82. Karen Everly says:

    I am so anxious to do my Fall decorating. Thanks for the ideas and the chance to win!

  83. Wow. Even if I don’t win I think I am getting those lanterns! Your porch looks great, Yvonne. Thank you for the Kirklands giveaway. It’s one of my favorite stores.

  84. Such a beautiful way to welcome visitors. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity Yvonne. I invite you to stop by and enter my giveaway too. It ends in a couple of Days. Hugs!

  85. I have not done anything outside because I do not want summer to go. I love what you did.

  86. Seasonally festive!

    Alas, my black lanterns are still in storage this season. Still holding out hope I will find a house in time to pull it out this year. ?

  87. I’m using lanterns on my porch this fall. I’d really like to have a tall one to mix in!
    Hope I win!!

  88. Sooo beautiful, Yvonne! Love it. I’m a sucker for pretty lantern on a porch. 🙂
