Farmhouse Halloween Porch

October 4, 2021 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

It is getting spooky over here!  We turned our fall porch into our Halloween porch!  I love Halloween and my kids are still at the fun age where they appreciate all the decorations!  Welcome to our Halloween porch!

We left all of our fall pumpkins and added in some jack-o lantern buckets I got at Walmart last year (similar here), some inexpensive Styrofoam tomb stones, some skeletons, some bats and now we have a Halloween porch.  Simple as that!

We host a pre trick-or-treating get together at our house every year, so I like it to be festive!  I will share our full Halloween home tour later this week.

I get most of my pumpkins at Trader Joes, Walmart and a local feed store!  Mums were from Lowes this year.

Have you started decorating for Halloween this year?  I like to put everything up October 1st so we can enjoy it as long as possible!  My job is funny though. . .the house is Halloween, but part of the living room is now Christmas!  I am working on some new ideas to share with yall soon so you can order and have in time to decorate your homes! 😉

    Hi Elaine

    I’m Kelly from Sparta NJ I follow you and your so inspiring! Love the porch this year and I kinda copied lol just a little. I love those wood pumpkins I’ve seen on Etsy that were similar. Would you tell me where to get them? I must have ☺️ Happy fall!

      Awe thanks so much! I actually had them made here locally. Dumpster Diva is a local shop who can make anything. I told her what I was looking for and she made them out of old scrap wood. Etsy is a great place or if you have any local handy people that could make them out of old wood. Best of luck!

    How did you adhere your bats to your door. I am planning on using bats on my front door, just wondering what is the best way to keep them from falling down.

      I used painters tape so it could easily peel off. It has been working great

Happy Thursday! Loving the skirt we added under the sink. Make such a big impact for very little investment.

When designing our home I pulled inspiration from all over! Pinterest, Instagram, magazine, design books, etc. we had this long spot in our front entry that we were trying to figure out and when I saw this image (swipe to see) in @gilschaferthearchitect ‘s book it stopped me in my tracks. I loved the use of transoms and designated spaces. My architect @josephpaulhomes & his wife Michelle helped pull the whole look together. So happy with how it turned out.

My grandfather owned a grocery store in New Jersey. The scale hanging from the ceiling in our butler’s pantry was the scale in his store. My uncle had it for the longest time & gifted it to me when we moved into this home. I love it so much!! My mom has the cash register he used in his store in her home. I love decorating with items that have meaning & that tell a story.

I love hallways & nooks. They are a great way to add interest to your home. Natural light & details are key. This space connects our hearth room to the gameroom. The Dutch door goes out to our courtyard, the room at the end is my office and the door to the left (just out of the photo) goes to the pool bath. Lots going on in this space.
I saw this floor pattern in a design book & had to have it somewhere in our home. I love it so much!

Bathrooms are such a fun space to make bold choices. They are small so every decision & detail makes a big impact. Still in love with this wallpaper from @wallpapersgalore_

✨REMODEL UPDATE: FAMILY ROOM✨

This family room had good bones, but we needed to declutter , maximize storage, update furnishings & make the space more functional.

🤎comment SHOP for sources
➡️ swipe to see before & after photos

There was a wall of shelves that was just too much. We purged and decorated with items that she loved & had sentimental value. So many homes are built with tons of open shelving and you have to be really careful in these spaces because they can become a spot for clutter instead of being intentional. 
•added cabinet doors to 2 sections of shelves for some much-needed hidden storage.
•utilized the shelving that was separate from the other ones to make a designated bar space that is intentional and great for entertaining.
•found an gorgeous antique bar back to go against the wall that again is used as a bar when they entertain. Previously, it was a huge bench that took up width, but added no height to the wall. This is a major focal point in this space so we made it both functional and beautiful.
• I am not a huge fan of sectional couches unless they are in very specific areas. I think sometimes when people have a big room, they look for a big furniture to take up the space but it doesn’t actually give you the most seating and the spacing is sometimes awkward. They still really wanted a leather couch in there so we kept that, but then used more tailored chairs to frame the space.
• found this gorgeous coffee table on Facebook marketplace. Such a find!
•Removed the huge windmill fan that really took away from the gorgeous architecture of the ceiling with the beams.
•filled in dead space with functional furniture, like a cute table perfect for  game night.
•scaled back the TV so it made more sense over the fireplace and went with a frame one so there could be pretty art up there as it is a main focal point. (Art was off in this photo, but typically it looks like a vintage painting)

So excited with how this space turned out. It’s lighter, brighter, more functional & a better use of space. They have walls of windows along the back of the house with a beautiful view and now you’re able to focus on that more.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: DAUGHTER’S BATHROOM ✨

Throughout this remodel you will see two constant goals…brighten up the spaces & add functional storage. This bathroom was dark & dated. We took everything out and had a fresh start. 

🩵 comment SHOP for sources

•New paint, wallpaper, tile, fixtures, lighting, etc.
•Raised the height of the counters & some additional cabinetry extending up to the ceiling for much needed storage. 
•Added cute details to the side of the counters
•Removed the tub & added a glass door to the shower to make the space feel bigger & more open.

This sweet girl has brought us so much joy! We are “foster failures” & couldn’t be happier about it. Callie has been the best addition to our family.
Chat GPT made this cute art from our Christmas picture of her. She was living her best life with all the ribbon from the presents.

I love a mudroom! I don’t care what size house I live in from here on out I’ll always have some “mudroom” space…even if it’s a tiny little spot. It’s so great to have a drop zone to keep organized. This space got lots of use during our ice storm with all the wet shoes, etc & these brick floors were great!!

Feels strange getting back to work this week. We’ve been living in PJs and been asking what day it was for about a week now. Snowmageddon 2026 was fun & we still have piles of ice on the ground….BUT nice to go back to a bit of a routine. January felt like 47 days 🤪
