as i work my way through fixing up our house, i’m slowly discovering my decorating style
and slowly discovering what works & feels best for our family
and realizing it’s not about perfection, it’s about using what you have
to make it an inviting & welcoming place to live
♥
i’ve always dreamed of having a wrap-around front porch with a swing and a pretty
spindle-ish wood screen door … so even though our front porch is small,
it’s still fun to spruce it up a bit for summer
sometimes i sit and watch the kids play (they usually don’t know i’m sitting there)
or i read there in the morning, after the bus leaves
(unless it’s raining)
(or if it’s too hot)
(we don’t have consistent weather here … at all)
but it’s quiet, and peaceful
the bunting was an easy project … just cut the pieces to size, sew a pocket and thread some jute through the pocket … or hot glue directly to the jute
this rocker was on the curb one night before garbage day … a long time ago
i love it, it’s my favorite. i’ve painted it lots of different colors
this year it got the mint green treatment 🙂
i hope to find some odds & ends to add to this little wall near the rocker
maybe a mini side table too … the welcome sign was actually a mirror
with some chalkboard spray paint to cover the mirror
and some almond colored paint around the frame …
it takes on a whole different look
welcome to the porch! 🙂
the azalea’s are in full bloom this week
that means summer is almost here
the girls will cut a few branches off every couple of days
and put them in a vase near the kitchen window for me 🙂
well tomorow’s friday! that means yard sales! fun fun fun 🙂
be back soon with some info on my coupon system…
happy weekend
