Porch makeover! From way drab....to......bright and FAB!!!!

Amanda:

 Before......................................................................................After

 Just like the rest of my house used to be... neutral with no color! 

So BORING and Un-inviting right??!

 $6 lantern from shopko (spray painted yellow)

My door was a very boring tan (just like the molding) and didn't pop at all, it was so blah and ugly! I painted it black with exterior paint and a foam roller brush, I LOVE it and wish I would have painted it LONG ago! (notice my wreath and mat from past posts)

 Now, this is the same ugly tan cheap plastic bench, I spray painted it and the other chair shown here! I also spray painted the 3 pots that I already had laying around the garage (they were all terra cotta rust colored) The table was given to me and was used in my daughters room until she got a new one from DI, so I decided to use this one on my porch!

 The table has a circular piece of burlap on it (to tie in with my wreath) a clear 50 cent vase with sticks pruned from my Mom's trees, a potted plant, a dollar store candle and glass votive, and a dollar store mirror frame that I sprayed white! The pillows are sewn slip covers (so I can swap them out for fall).

 Now this porch finally says Welcome to my home! ;)

When thinking how i wanted to do my porch, all i knew was i wanted it BRIGHT & FUN.

Not Really any color limitations, just anything colorful!

This pot used to be a dark tealish/gray color

that i just spray painted aqua!

I knew i wanted a monogrammed wreath,

but i was sick of your regular circle wreaths!
I Just took a picture frame i had lying around, made some rolled roses out of the fabric i used for my pillows, and added a J that i spray painted fuchsia.
 Simple. Easy. Different.

Chandelier anyone?

Strange for a front porch??

I love it!! I think it adds just the right feel i was going for!

OH how i love my porch swing!

And now even more with these pillows!

We are now ready to welcome summer!!

How have you spruced up your front porches?!?!

We'd love to see & do some guest posts on what you've come up with!
