When I took down all the Christmas decor, my poor porch was left so plain, it needed some attention. I was cleaning up outside, trying to get all the pollen and leaves off the porch, so I thought I would give it a little spruce up at the same time.
I shopped the house for a few of my favorite things.
Tangerine and Orange are my new favorite colors, so of course I think it is a happy and inviting color for the porch.
This is the hat I grab everyday as I take my morning walk. A cute orange ribbon spruces it up. I thought this pretty pillow worked well with the plaid and of course I think every space should have a little black and white, don’t you?
If you don’t have a throw in the colors you want, find some fabric you love and just use it. I’ve had this black and white plaid for years and never made anything out of it, so it became the perfect throw and it’s light enough if there is a chill in the air to cover up. Hobby Lobby also has some really pretty pillow covers in outdoor fabrics. These were $6.95 each.
My rain boots are perfect when I start to hose off the front of the house and work in the yard. I think they look fabulous sitting next to the chair and garden stool. That’s the same stool I painted a few years ago, it has held up perfectly. Not one single scratch. You can see how I painted it here.
Much better, this looks like a happy place to be.
I re-used the basket that was on the breakfast room wall before I did that makeover on the front door.
A great place to sit and have a glass of tea after working in the yard or taking a walk, and I think it says “welcome”.
How about you, do you have a favorite spot to sit and relax and enjoy the outdoors?
