I think these owners go all out and most and overdone.  The last photo is more in line with normal.

This one.

Where do these people live where there are no insects and rodents?

Very nice porch decorations!  I just put out a few fall flags, and some Halloween items in the front of the house.  I spend most time on my indoor decorations which are plentiful!

I decorate our porch each season but fall,is my favorite.  The colors are so vibrant!

Looks very nice! Enjoy! 

I've always wanted a bigger porch, but I've never lived in a home with one.

@wilma Love the photos but as you say from a practical standpoint, no way I'd put that much "stuff" on the steps. I can see myself tripping on a pumpkin and taking a header. Nope I don't need that.

Like @Kachina624 I think the dog is the best accessory. I have a large tabby cat who graces the porch at my house. She has finally stopped being startled by any decor items that I put out. I had a couple of the large rabbits from Martha Stewart's collections and she was not at all happy about them! Finally she has decided they are NOT a threat. 

(She was a stray who wandered by about 7 years ago now and is now a family member.)

@ZoetheCat That's gorgeous!

@GinaV24    Thanks for taking in both tabby cats and faux rabbits.

Thanks @Kachina624 She's a really sweet kitty. The faux rabbits need some paint!

1st pic - beautiful colors, but a tad too overkill.  The lined up rockers remind me of the front porches on the Cracker Barrel Restaurants for guests to wait to be called.  I'd rather see a swing and/or bench mixed with a couple of rockers.  (The dog stole the show though.  )

2nd pic - Too elegant for my taste.  I do like the colors & textures used on the steps - but less of them.

3rd pic - I like the hay used as part of the decor & I don't mind the colors.  But they used too much decore, narrowing the path on the steps.  The pumpkins used on the roof of the porch I think cheapen the look.

4th pic - The chairs are misplaced as you can't open/close the doors without hitting them.  Again, too much decore on the steps.

5th pic - This is a tie for 1st place IMO.  Love the flagstone steps.  Wreath looks very pretty with the rustic door.  I would relocate the large flower pot as it crowds the first step.

Nice job @wilma, thanks for sharing.
