(LEX 18) — A new fall-inspired small business has become a smashing success in central Kentucky, bringing "gourd-eous" decor to porches across the region.

On a beautiful fall day, you'll find plenty of Halloween decor in Lexington, from witches to skeletons. But some porches are especially stunning thanks to Gourd & Porch , a pumpkin styling service that launched this fall.

"One day I woke up and was like let's do this. I love fall, people love to decorate their homes, and why not pumpkins?" said Jodi Chmielewski, the woman behind Gourd & Porch.

Chmielewski decided to go for it after seeing the success of similar business models across the country.

"We deliver pumpkins, we display and lay them out and design them, and then we pick them up at the end of the season," Chmielewski said.
