Creating a special place on our Fall porch!

There’s a special corner on our screened porch where I love to sit on these gorgeous Fall mornings and evenings. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy my morning coffee and then a glass of wine in the evening, watching the sun go down.

Autumn has always been my favorite season. There’s something so beautiful about watching the trees turn different shades of glorious colors. I adore absolutely everything about the Fall season, especially wearing sweaters, fires in the fireplace, college football, pumpkin bread, the crispness in the air, and so much more!

Here in the Deep South, Fall doesn’t last very long so I try to savor every moment of it with a lot of time spent on our screened porch. 

There’s a little corner of the porch where I usually sit with a cozy blanket and revel in the crisp air as I enjoy my morning coffee. I’m usually an early riser, so sitting out here and listening to the world wake up is a wonderful way to start the day.

I recently decorated “my corner” with a beautiful potted mum and a few pumpkins, but the focal point has to be the faux boxwood topiary from NearlyNatural.

NearlyNatural has the most amazing faux trees, plants, and flowers inspired from nature, with a huge collection to choose from.

I have such a weakness for boxwoods in general, and I especially love topiaries.

Unfortunately, since I have a brown thumb, I’ve never been able to grow real potted boxwood topiaries. I kill them every single time, and they are quite expensive.

The perfect solution is this gorgeous faux 4′ boxwood spiral topiary. It’s UV resistant so it’s perfect for outdoors, but would also be stunning displayed inside the home. 

The topiary comes in a small pot, but when it arrived, I decided to place it in a large urn that I already had, elevating it’s height a bit more. I love that the trunk looks very real! 

I’ve used NearlyNatural faux topiaries before throughout our home, as well as outside, and they last for years.

I have two of them flanking our front door that I love, and I’ve had them for over three years! They are resistant to weather so they look as good today as they did the day I got them.

Faux topiaries are ideal for achieving the classic look without worrying about killing a live plant!

After I placed the topiary in the large urn, I added preserved moss and moss balls in different sizes around the base. I have plans to add miniature white lights to it for the holidays, which will create such a pretty ambiance on the porch in the evenings.

Our home sits on a golf course, which hubby loves since he’s an avid golfer.

I never thought that I would love living on a golf course as much as he does, but after being here for a year, I’ve realized that I love the ever changing beauty of the course, and there is always something (or someone) to watch!

There’s plenty of wildlife as well, so mornings and evenings get lots of action from a number of species.

There are some beautiful trees on the golf course and I’ve loved sitting on our porch and seeing the changing colors taking place. 

Miss RubyLou adores sitting out on the porch every day and watching all of the action as well.

She has to inspect anything that’s new, so she was very curious about the addition of the new topiary. 

I couldn’t resist dressing her in the Fall sweater for a few pictures. She’s such a great model and she complimented the colors of the porch perfectly. I think this might be Miss RubyLou’s favorite corner of the porch as well!

I was so happy when NearlyNatural asked me to review this faux spiral boxwood topiary, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

I’m very familiar with this company’s products and know from experience that they last for years and have such a natural look. 

Topiaries are ideal for creating a classic and timeless look on a porch, patio, or in the garden. I will definitely be enjoying this beautiful topiary from my favorite corner of the porch for years to come!

Cheers, Cindy
