My "New" Front Porch

Care to join me for a cup of coffee and some conversation......

on my made-over front porch?
My favorite place to be in my house is my front porch. I love relaxing on the swing, observing the neighbors comings and goings and watching the wildflowers as they play. Lately it has been looking a little drab....in need of a makeover!
So, I recovered my swing cushion with some really great blue and green patchwork material....


Made a new arrangement for the front door.....
.
A new succulent and pot for the porch table...
.
Painted my old jute rug.....
.
And Taaaa Daaaa!!! I am pleased with how it turned out.

So if you are ever in the area, please feel welcome to come by and we can sit on the swing and visit : )

TRICIA!!!!! That is so stinking cute. I'm way impressed you painted your rug. You need your own show on HGTV

Hi Tricia,

I just wanted to tell you that I tagged you on my blog today(Saturday), if you would like to play. No pressure though, just for fun.

God Bless,
Amy:)
