Primping the Front Porch For Spring



I am always so anxious to decorate my front porch when spring arrives.
Unfortunately it has been very breezy and it has been raining most every day.
So all I have been able to do so far is gather up the elements.

I painted and decoupaged this old TV tray.  I showed you that a few days
ago.  I think it will be fun to use for serving iced tea, etc.




Birdcages and cachepots.




I painted my Grandmother's old cranberry scoop and filled it with some
artificial ivy for now.  I need to get to the garden shop for the real thing.
Oh, and I added this little thrift shop plate too.  I plan to hang the scoop on
the wall behind Grandma's old rocker.




Several years ago I hand painted this little bird house.  It has weathered and aged
and I think I like it better now than I did when it was freshly painted.




That's all for now.  Can't wait to put all the elements together and present
the reveal.  Have a great weekend!

It's time for my favorite party of the week ~


Bentley, let's stay inside and clean the house today.  Maybe if the 
rain lets up this afternoon, we will walk over to that new flower shop
called Blooms.  I am so anxious to see it!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  2. I love gathering up items to change out a room or an area in the house. It's part of the fun. I always seem to "find" something that I forgot I had :-) You have there all the ingredients that will yield a wonderfully springtime porch.

    Blessings,

  3. My front porch is about the size of a postage stamp. Boo hoo! I want a pretty porch. I'm working on the back one. But it's laid out so funny, and not very big either, that it's hard to put furniture on it.

  10. Your tray is so cute! I don't have a big front porch here...just enough room for a flower pot! But your post has me looking forward to the warm weather, especially the packets of flower seeds!

    Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

    XO,
    Jane
