Heather Torres, a 41-year-old stay-at-home mom from Dallas, Texas, has turned her passion for design into a booming side business by decorating front porches for the fall holidays. Torres started decorating front porches with pumpkins and Halloween decorations in 2020 after receiving compliments from neighbors and has since grown her business significantly, with clients spending anywhere from $325 to $1,350 for her unique designs. She finds inspiration from local sources, such as the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, and sources her pumpkins from Texas farmers to support local businesses. In her first fall season, Torres made $100,000 from decorating 250 homes, and this year, her company, Porch Pumpkins, has decorated over 1,000 homes.
Torres’ company promises to transform the front entrance of homes with festive decorations in a matter of minutes, bringing joy and happiness to her clients. After the fall season ends, they return to the homes to take down the displays. Torres believes that her displays mark the beginning of the holiday season and bring a sense of festivity and joy to those around her. With her eye for design and dedication to her craft, Torres has turned a hobby into a successful business venture that has brought smiles to many faces.
