A Texas woman with a passion for design has turned her hobby into a booming side business.
Heather Torres is a 41-year-old stay-at-home mom from Dallas, Texas. Her side hustle is decorating the front porches of homes for the fall holidays. (See the video at the top of this article.)
Torres said she started decorating front porches with pumpkins and Halloween decorations in 2020 after some neighbors complimented her own home’s decor and asked her to do the same for their porches, SWNS reported.

“When we started, I was doing two or three porches a day. Yesterday I did 89 porches alone,” she told the outlet.
She starts prepping for the season and taking orders in July — sometimes getting inspiration from things around her.
Torres visited the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden years ago and said it always inspired her to do pumpkin displays at home.
