Front Porch & Patio Ready For Summer. Most of you have seen these pics, but for those that haven’t here’s my front porch, back patio, and yard.
I think the porch decor should reflect the style of the home you have. The outside of my house is very simple with little architectural detail. So the furniture needed to follow suit.
Since I live in the desert, the front landscape is done with low water plantings and a desert theme. It’s always fun to add a little whimsy to any area and the frog always gets a comment.
I spray-painted a two-toned design on an inexpensive Chinese stool that I found for $15. I think this dressed it up and it’s the perfect place to sit a couple of glasses. You can see how I transformed the stool here.
A couple of pillows and the plants give the area warmth and look inviting.
From the street, I think it says Welcome, Come Sit, Visit and Relax.
My back patio area isn’t very large, just room enough for a bench and table and chairs. I love to have my morning coffee here.
When we extended the concrete patio area, we curved a small section out on this side for the BBQ. I am so glad to have this spot, I think we grill at least 4 or 5 times a week, and yes the grilling is me, I’m the cook. It keeps the house so much cooler if you can cook outdoors.
Small but comfortable. It always feels so good to have the Front Porch & Patio Ready For Summer.
