Fall is here, whether we like it or not. I mean, it’s September anyway, so close enough? I’m such a downer about fall. And Pumpkin Spice Lattes vs. Margaritas. Perhaps someone should make Pumpkin Spice Ritas.
That sounds terrible.
We’re still enjoying our {heated} pool so we’ll be dragging the final days of summer out as long as we can. I prefer this hybrid weather anyway. We loved sharing our fall tour last week. We had a few peeks of our front porch, and how we spiffed it up a little for all things autumnal bliss.
We’ve come a long way in our outside redo since we’ve replaced all of the siding and windows with the fabulous Window World.
We still have a long way to go with all things landscaping, and have some really fun plans up our sleeves.
But we do love the fact that it’s already changed so much.
So in the meantime, we really wanted to cozy up the front, for fall.
We’re all about a little mum magic. I have a real weakness for them, even though they seriously frighten me. Why, you might ask? Because I murder them. I’m a mum murderer. I remember my first official batch of mums in college – I was feeling festive, and decided to put one on the stoop of my apartment. And they died. I feel like our lives have themes, and mine is that I’m a total mum murderer. So, stay tuned… hopefully I can make these last a while.
Our metallic pumpkins add just that extra amount of special in the front. We love them because they don’t rot on the sly when I’m not looking and leave a gross pumpkin fluid concoction of the porch. And I can break them out next year.
We cozied it up with some rocking chairs, and a few old pillows from the back, since we’re in the middle of our first addition a-la the all seasons room.
But our very favorite addition this year are these amazing portable LED bluetooth lanterns from Kichler.
They add the perfect ambiance and glow to the porch.
Because they’re our absolute new favorite thing. If you’ve been reading for a while, then you know that we love using Kichler in almost all our designs.
We’re showcasing these great little lanterns for the Fall but they’re kind of incredible year round.
We can’t wait to show you how we plan to use them in the spring, around our pool.
Other than the obvious ambience that they offer, they have an amazing bluetooth option, and thus their name. You simply connect your phone, and tada! You have a speaker system. They have awesome ambience and sound.
These sweet little subtle buttons on the side offer both the lighting and bluetooth option. Simply turn on one for the lighting, and the other to connect your iphone. It pops up as an option, and when you connect, it plays the music oh so fabulously.
The kids {and we} love music at night, so needless to say, we love having these around. And they come in so many amazing options!
Here’s a simple video, showing them in action {refresh if it’s now loading!}
For those of you who may be wondering, they are moisture resistant. I just wouldn’t leave them alone outside in a downpour or anything, so that you can lengthen their life span, and keep that sound and lighting sounding fabulous. We love the fact that they can withstand a little moisture.
So next time you’re looking for an easy, affordable way to add some ambiance outside, or even just around your house, be sure to check out their lanterns.
They are so much fun!
They just look like they were made for our house – don’t ya think? We love that there are so many styles to pick from!
As always, let us know if you try one.
We’d love to see!
Have an inspired day!
