We had our front and side porches painted last week. What a mess it was. There is a lot to be said for vinyl and cement! Once it was painted I thought it would be nice to give it a decorative facelift.
We kept the porch colors the same but just freshened them up. What a difference a
new coat of paint makes.
I decided to take some blue toile pillows that I had put away and use them on the
rockers with some burlap pillows that were in my family room. I had to bring
out my favorite ironstone pitcher.
And added a nice bowl of pears. What tastes better on a warm day
than a cold glass of lemonade.
This chair was on the side porch and I moved it over since I didn't like what I had here. I draped a very long burlap table runner over it to look like a throw.
And I moved my beautiful pot of white petunias from the side to front porch!
I did all of this with things that I already had!
Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by:
