PICK A PORCH---PICK YOUR FAVORITE

I have so much fun doing these posts
and tallying up the results.
It's simple and easy.
Just pick the number of the porch you like best.

So no one's feelings are hurt these are all from
MARTHA STEWART & POTTERY BARN
AND PINTEREST.
I don't want to make this a
"that's my favorite blogger's porch" competition.

Kapeesh?
That is Polish Native American Urban talk for
UNDERSTAND?

First up!
WREATH OF MEMORIES

#2
RAKE READY

#3
LEAFY WREATHY

#4
OLD STONY

#5
ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK DOOR

#6
NOT CORNY AT ALL
Source unknown

#7
NATURALLY NEUTRAL
So- there you go!
Pick a number from 1 to 7
ONLY ONE!
You DO remember the rules, don't you?
I will tally them up 
and give you the results in a day or two.

Now, voting is 
NOT A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION...
but there are SOME situations like that....
especially for SPIDERS at MY HOUSE

As SweetCheeks once said to me as I was
getting out of the shower:
You look a LOT BETTER with your clothes on, Nana.
Me:  Thank you, SweetCheeks!
SC:  You're welcome!

Gotta love a kid like that!

I love them all but I choose wreath number one. Wreath of Memories! Old sentimental me! xoxo ♥

Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalow said...

Some of them look overdone and fake-y which is why I pick number four which looks as if it could be an actual person's front porch and not styled :)

Adam said...

I like 5

coffeeontheporchwithme said...

I had to look at them a few times, but the one that gives me the "coziest, homiest" feeling is #6. -Jenn

Ellen D. said...

#4 is my favorite

Susie said...

Diana, Those darn spiders are always peeking. LOL I sure have missed your kids stories. I really like number 4. I saw a man hoisting up a pumpkin that had to weight hundreds of pounds two days ago, he was using a block and tackle ...I hate that I did not have my camera with me. I am thinking of going back by his house and begging to get photos. Yes, I am shameless. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

ℳartina @ Northern Nesting said...

Diana you know I AM NO GOOD at playing this game!! But if I'm only allowed to pick ONE my pick is #4 Old Stony!

Patricia said...

I have to vote for #4. It's less cluttered and looks " real". The others are nice but feel too overwhelming.

Preppy Empty Nester said...

I like #3. Have a great weekend and don't let SC in you bathroom anymore. No good for the self esteem.

Simply LKJ said...

Going with #4, rustic and simple.

Debbie said...

I like #6, cause I LOVE clutter! My Charlotte can't come into the bathroom anymore....she thought my boobs were too long....I agree with her....but still.

Unknown said...

I love #4. I think too much takes away from the beauty in some of the photos.

Debbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmas said...

Diana!! So glad that you are back and I was thrilled to see that you stopped by!!
I love the traditional Fall colors so my favorite is # 6!! Lord knows that i subscribe to the Victorian Philosophy of more is more!!

Hugs,
Deb

Vee said...

Okay...let's see...this is tough. I definitely don't like #5, but that is not the question; it is easier, though. I'll go with #2!

Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces said...

I love number six! Beautiful entryway!

LV said...

They are all eye catchers, but I like number 5. If you want an honest answer, ask a child.

An Oasis in the Desert said...

I'm not sure why, but I am drawn to #4!

Junkchiccottage said...

Happy Saturday Morning my friend. I am in love with #3. I think that looks so pretty and I love the front door. They are all so pretty so which ever one gets the most votes is great. They are all soooooo pretty. Have a great week end.

Rustic Maple Elizabeth said...

They are all beautiful, Diana, it sure was a tough decision. While I do like them all I would go with #3 Leafy Wreathy today. Thanks for sharing some that I haven't seen before. I'm thinking that I need to hurry up and Fall-ify my front porch lol. Thanks also for your kind comment over at Junk Chic Cottage on my Blogger Spotlight! I changed my blog name a while ago so yes, that is why my blog dropped off your blog roll :) Have a great weekend.

Ron said...

Not Corny At All. Them Orange is the New Black Door.
#6. #5. #4 in that order.

Connie said...

I choose #6 because it looks the coziest . . . . warm and friendly . . . not too up tight. It looks like the place you could walk through the door and go straight to the kitchen and help yourself to a warm bowl of soup :)

Art and Sand said...

It's #4 for me.

Chatty Crone said...

Oh my gosh you are back! I liked #6 NOT CORNY AT ALL! And that spider story - lol!

Row homes and Cobblestones said...

Oh # 4 Old Stoney - lovely color contrast and not overdone.

Kathy said...

I like #4 best. But once again it was a hard choice.

Tina@WhatWeKeep said...

All gorgeous, but I choose #7!

White Lace and Promises said...

I choose #1. I'm a nut for any way to display my photos. As a matter of facts, I've spent a couple of days turning an old window into a photo frame. I've mod podged and peeled 3 times now and still haven't gotten the look I want. I'm not sure this is for me!

cards4ubylouise and other treasures said...

Ummmm.....#5 without the scull and bones please :)

Anonymous said...

I like # 6 as it is Halloween time and It shows the orange well and inside too the windows. If it seems messy. Halloween is messy as it has all kinds of things about. Pertaining Orange. I think one year you did a white pumpkin. It was okay but I guess I am an old fashion girl when it comes to Orange for Halloween.

Something Nice and Pretty said...

I like #4 plain and simple plus those gold pumpkins are neat! Glad your back Diana have missed you!

FABBY'S LIVING said...

hahahahhhhaaa that sweet Cheeks is too much, lol! My grand Victoria when she was about 3, we were taking a shower together and she asked me: Why do you have such big boobs gran... my mammy has very small ones, lol.. Nothing goes by these kids.
Love the images of Fall. The entrances are gorgeous, specially #7.
Happy Fall sweeitie.
FABBY

sweetbriardreams said...

#7 I think, or could it be #4. I have been scrolling up and down and comparing... hmmmm, no, it has to be #4 - decisions, decisions xx

Jan said...

#4! I like the simplicity!

Lorrie said...

#4 for me - love the stone and simple elegance. Some of the others are way over the top.

Red Rose Alley said...

I love stone and I love orange pumpkins, so #4 for me. : )

love, ~Sheri

God's Grace Overflows said...

I like #2, it has such a cozy country feel!
I hope you have a delightful weekend!!

Katie Isabella said...

OH MY GOSH that made me LAFF about coming out of the shower. Do I ever have stories to tell.

Anonymous said...

Number 7, for me. OMW, Sweet Cheeks is a mess! :)

This N That said...

Number six. But I have a really close second! But I'll keep it to myself because I know how you feel about more than one choice. The first ones just look at little too busy for me. OK the second one is number four. Very simple just like me. Tell sweet cheeks to behave herself...


Debra Bartels said...

Number 4. Simple but lovely.

Patti @ Pandoras Box said...

its a close ties between 5 and 6, but if I hAVE to choose, I would say 6 (and 5 for the back door!!!)

Gert said...

They are all gorgeous, but since I have to chose I guess Number 2 is favorite !

Merlesworld said...

I like 3, 4 and 7.

I'll take door number two. I give Sweet Cheeks a kiss for me.

Jane@Bluebird1959 said...

Bachelerotte #2!

GARAGE SALE GAL said...

Number 7 is the one that I would love to copy for my front door!
warmly,
deb

Gypsy Heart said...

I'll go with #5 ~ looks "happy" to me!

xo

Donna said...

I just love #7! The white pumpkins in the urns, and the wreath and little chalkboard sign are SO me! That is too funny about SweetCheeks. Only kids can get away with saying whatever comes to mind! Well, then when you get really old, you can just tell it like it is, and who cares?!! hahaha!
Which one is your favorite, Diana?

Bethany Carson said...

Oooh, these contests are *so* fun Diana! I always love them.
I'm going with #4. I much prefer the simplicity! Some of the others look like they'd be a lot of work to clean up in the snow or rain when fall is over.

Kim said...

#3 hands down! Gorgeous mix of black and white. That kid is funny...

Mary@mydogsmygardenandmary said...

I like #5 especially the orange door. I wonder if they painted it just for Halloween LOL.
You gotta love SC, she is priceless.
Have a good one dear friend,
Hugs,
Mary

Nellie said...

This is easy for me, Diana. I prefer #7! Hope I haven't offended Martha.:-) xo Nellie

tammy j said...

definitely number 4. old stony.
simple elegant grand.
the rest for me are WAY too busy!
yes.
it is fun.
:)

Down On The Farm said...

Number 4. Totally classy!!

Our Hopeful Home said...

#4!

Joy Junktion said...

I think #7 will have to take my vote tonight!

A Joyful Cottage said...

#4. Love it!

Gayla said...

Number 4 for me, but they are all so neat! had fun....

Lisa Mangold Kosmoski said...

I pick #6. I believe I could decorate like that one at my place. Blessings ~ Lisa

LostRoses said...

Capiche! #2 for me. So glad you're back!

Unknown said...

Number 4. But I love the house (what I can see of it) also. Looks interesting.

Bert K said...

Number 4!

Lucille said...

Hi Diana! #7 for me as I have a penchant for black doors. If *7 had not been there, I would have picked #3 because it looks so peaceful!

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Why do you always make these so hard to choose from, Diana!? : ) I had to look through them 6 times to pick one and tried to do the "which one do my eyes seem to stay on the longest", but that wasn't much help either. I reluctantly choose #1 {although, #3 was very close!}.

Lisa @ Texas Decor said...

I hope I'm not too late to vote. I pick #1. Beautiful! Oh, how I've missed these pick your favorite posts!

Karen @ Beatrice Euphemie said...

Old stoney #4 has my vote! Although, I love them all! Thank goodness for clothes, huh? I think 99% of the population is with us on that!

Janet said...

They are all great. I like # 2 the best :)

bj said...

#7 for moi....most have waaay too much, IMO.
This is always fun, Nana....and my daughter once told her grandmother, after taking a bath with her, "Grandmother, you have the LONGEST titties I've ever seen..." My mama laughed about that right up to her passing.

Bert K said...

Number 4!

Shirley@Housepitality Designs said...

Have to say #4....
