Although fall is my favorite season it does make me sad to see my garden fade. Most of the front garden is evergreen, but the porch which normally houses a few pots of flowers was looking bare. This time around I wanted something that would last
and that was easy to manage. I really just did not want to have to think about it too much, so instead of flowers I used reindeer moss that had been dyed a bright green. I bought it from a local garden shop and could not be more pleased with the outcome.
Creating this look was super easy. I simply hot glued the moss to a half round circle that I picked up at JoAnn Fabrics. The circle fit perfectly into the mouth of my pot and stays there quite nicely. Ugly on the bottom...
Fabulous on the top...
A little color in the garden could not make me any happier.

love this!! i like fall a lot but i don't normally like a lot of the fall decorations out there. this is so pretty!
beautiful. I love that table...
xo
Love it! It adds that needed burst of color.
It turned out really well. I like the simple tabletop display wou created.
Paula! This is both simple and stunning!! I love using moss as a simple burst of green/color. I also love that plant stand with the slate-looking top! Simply beautiful!
What a great look for the transition of seasons! I may have to snag this idea!
CUTE!
What a great idea! Your home looks so lovely.
That looks gorgeous and would make for a great magazine cover. Seriously! I love your porch and your shutters.
By the way, the moss really does last...I was cutting back some branches from my birch trees a few years back and decided they looked too pretty to toss. So I got some florist foam, squeezed it into a vintage glass bowl, covered the top with reindeer moss and artfully arranged the branches. It's been on display for years, literally, and still looks good! {great minds...}
i love it. with the contrast of the white. so simple and perfect. i could rock there with coffee all day.
I love that pop of color. Looks great!
So fresh and so pretty! Love it!
What a great idea! It turned out beautifully!
Ooh I sure do hope they have some of that moss & my local garden store. I love it!
P.S. - We both have that same old singer machine except yours has a better top on it.
I just love reindeer moss. The pots look great with the burst of bright green. And I still can't get over how much I love your porch. Can I come over and rock awhile?
Very sweet. Great idea!
I couldn't agree more. I've been dying for something just like this - thanks for the inspiration to do something about it! :)
that moss is such an amazing color! looks so great.
Nicely done! Love moss...always looks so great..I really love the green you chose. Perfect!
Great job; this pop of color looks fantastic on your porch. It's always nice to see some green, no matter what time of year.
Such a great idea- I think I might have to copy that one :)
I love this idea! And those moments of green just pop against the background (and it makes such a lovely image too). You don't need more than this...
love those urns!
Oh this looks so refreshing and welcoming.
Love it! What a great idea! And you don't have to water it...the best part!
LOVE the simple white with a bright burst of yellow/green! It's gorge!
oh, great idea - love it
Oh it is fabulous!!! Love it. So glad you liked my inspiration board!:) Hope you husband approves!
A perfect splash of color! I love it.xo
I love easy and simple this project is. Beautiful!!
What a great idea! I finally cleaned up all my flower pots and garden, etc. last weekend and I need to get motivated to do something on my porch for fall/winter. Thanks for the nudge.

so crazy about this! and it looks breathtaking with that pumpkin & those chairs! you may have just inspired me to do a lil DIY-ing this weekend!
That looks awesome! The green really stands out but suits the whole colour and decoration scheme.
love the look! love the urns! love the singer table!
I love this, and am pretty sure I need to do this myself, immediately. :) Thanks!
