Front Porch Makeover

Hello lovelies!
Last week I finally finished my front porch makeover.
I'm not gunna lie...
I super big pink puffy heart my new outdoor space.



Since we moved in six months ago, our front porch was a catch-all.
A "white trash wonderland", if you will.
Some neighbors down the street threw away four white rusty patio chairs.
They are big and heavy, and obviously from a few decades ago.
They lived on my front porch for a long time.




Enter red spray paint, some handmade pillows, an old wreath, some vintage Mason jars, and a yarn pom pom garland.



I think my neighbors like us more, now.
:)




On top of the crate ($9.99 at Michael's) rests the new Ikea catalog.
Watch kids play on lawn while flipping through home decor awesomesauce?
Yes, please.

The pillows are made from two Target dish towels and one yard of fabric.
Don't look at them too closely, mmkay?
;)

The birdy candle thingy was found at a yard sale and spray painted.
Never turn down something that has potential.




The linky will be open tomorrow evening.
Don't forget to vote once per day!
Happy Monday!

  3. I wish I were as brave as you with bright punchy colors, because this looks amazing! but I'm also in the great white north (aka: Canada) and we only get 2 of 4 seasons with colorful colors!
