A little while back I mentioned sprucing up my front porch, and today, I'm sharing the pics with you. This is what my porch looked like before:
Cute, but not a lot going on. There was only seating for two, and that seating kept blowing over in the wind. Behold, the after:
There's now comfortable seating for at least four, maybe more if people don't mind getting friendly. Best of all, I now have more storage space, because all of the benches open up. The folding Adirondack chairs have been relocated to the fire pit so we can have a place to sit on bonfire nights. Magically, they've stopped falling over; I guess they didn't really want to be on the porch. I stole some ideas from Pinterest - namely, spray-painting over my old green pillows to match my new blue color scheme, and that little plant stand made from a tomato cage. I also made my own version of that adorable pillow from Etsy using burlap, acrylic paint, and plastic grocery bags as stuffing. See a closeup here:
Now my porch is all ready for lovely spring and summer days. That is, after I wash the pollen off everything!
