If you can find a free afternoon, spend just a few hours sprucing up your porch or patio with seasonal spirit before your trick-or-treaters arrive.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9KctpzFlXm2KogDQcZxq8ZmJu2Jtk4pgj11tTROTX8I7rCyl-BLX1emvdYCca0iuKe6AdzJQkeEuscZGnZ08Q-F1Yo3hzBolg5WBDvsfKXzZK59xbdM-CFEsNYDQb4Cx2n4qcnxisL1M/s640/Porch-With-Rustic-Fall-Style-2013-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange;">General Fall Porch Style </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Natural textures layered next to found items can create a cozy outdoor seat for watching the leaves change. Using a hay bale as a temporary coffee table is an inexpensive and functional way to cozy up your outdoor space. Try using a small tray or basket as a sturdy, flat surface to hold a beverage or book.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here, a rustic chair doubles as a side table for a vintage cola crate holding pink mums.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsvvQjgwYUF1BP4UWXcpO7RU2dGSgLhWH3LrRl0wb9fmRC4Sd7FuVbk52Yyh2h6wM4sGzRkehoqhzctBAlaxP5OPf8Lc0_ev0PrLxuh_f9Su9bgt36cn9TAgDRCT0xw6_9UcV1HfMRh4c/s640/Porch-With-Rustic-Fall-Style-2013-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Make over tin cans with paint and fill them with your favorite seasonal flowers.

This small burlap sack was one of those "I'll find something to with this one day" items that found a new (and temporary) purpose as our porch swing cushion. If you don't have one, you can just cut some burlap to length and sew one up.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIh5FhQ6mXnAvU_fnzCzS5cJnjps9TZnmcJ3FJvDl_54t914swj7VO36xwDSjJ66XuMUMdkQ0wBwUvg_1EJ6nsg5AGi0DdGgn3gfKGYP4Ji0O6PgbkxGry12gxEryDZTHfqlkSxRsjakU/s640/Porch-With-Rustic-Fall-Style-2013-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stuff your pillow into the sack and tuck leftover fabric into the open end, hiding the pillow inside.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9iQmn7y07Q0hsySCQgtX4pZ5eZ-OqtEyTyozkK3jOVO5ffRhotFbKYpmguZ4FRsH40kD13xa4hOl5Tz-9jW0B8iNVlmY8Um3S2in9bR8t0Y267CZ7bXLi_6GO42XeMosbrLMIAXVd0E/s640/Porch-With-Rustic-Fall-Style-2013-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Wrap a ribbon around the sack and tie it.

Place fresh boughs in a galvanized bucket and swag a wooden bead garland around the greens. Use leftover Christmas tree clippings to fill in the base of the tablescape. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ801MZ2nVwgzs_7Muw_ahejafA4P5aASj9-qb0xoyuqTy7zNZvDq7Pt82z5-qzUnYdNWVBgw6HjXes0aoNUorP1GV5kFu7EKOAnXBsDAzLoFEEx0fl8bsYoByl5MjEsRmC6VW1SK5pi4I/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">It’s All in the Details</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Embellish a simple galvanized sap bucket with humble hemp twine and an inexpensive snowflake ornament. Wrap twine several times around the top of bucket, then tie together and create a loop to thread snowflake on. Tie one more knot to secure the snowflake. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2KEVb_jiACoIUPolkqzZ_pntz7gZPlLijqfmncZSBtsOVNCaytakTHZBKLFoKBaZ5DVisEsLSjG9MddPM0-Y3HNF6nggkKSYYxJnOjp_1XF_FcC0KiKArYSPDM4FbOBZpXhduRMo1iDUn/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Layer Upon Layer</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Fluffy white snowflakes, knit "sweater" ornaments, twine-wrapped candles, fresh greens, pinecones and a stack of old books bring visual and textural interest to this centerpiece.
