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 :)
