Time to really clean up the front porch again. Living in Arizona, I reserve the lawn for the backyard and have desert landscaping in the front. Last week I finally got around to giving the front a good cleaning again. Such an ongoing project. I hosed off the front of the house, cleaned windows and really cleaned the porch. I love it when it looks all fresh and dust free even if it only lasts about 10 minutes. lol We have farms about 1/2 mile away from us and they are constantly plowing and planting something. A lot of dust.
Nothing new, I redid the porch rockers and made the cushions last year, they have held up pretty good.
A view to the front door.
The wreath got a little redo too.
I love the outdoor fabrics. Just hose them off and they look good as new.
I have some of the strangest little frogs. This one fits the front patio perfectly with his green color. I showed you the huge one in the back yard earlier this week.
The garden bench is just the perfect size for a couple of glasses of iced tea. This is the Big Lots one that I painted.
This is a pic from last year to show what it looked like when I bought it. Just plain white.
I used these two colors of spray paint, some stain and some clear to transform it.
The light aqua at the bottom and a dark green at the top.
Then I sponged some stain all over the top green and down into the aqua a little. I finished it off with 2 coats of the clear.
I like the finished look. It adds just the right amount of color to the porch. I was so happy to find this garden stool, they are usually so expensive, and this was only $30. I think painting it made it look super expensive.
Just about time to think of fall and what I am going to do to spruce it up.
I am joining Kelly @ Kelly’s Korner for Show Us Your Porches.
