Porch Envy

Are you thinking about bringing your decorating skills outside now that the weather is turning a bit warmer?spring containers

Maybe this year you can plan on dressing up your front porch entry to be the star of the neighborhood:porch2

The first step I suggest is to start with a great outdoor area rug:mat2

There are so many great choices and it is a great place to start your color palette. I always have good luck at Grandinroad. Just make sure your mat is a larger size. You can read more about the correct mat size here.entry mat

If there is room next to the door, a chair or bench is a great way to bring in color with a pillow or throw:farmhouse-front-porch

How about making a unique wreath this year? I love this look:wreath

I can make that. ( I can try!) Look what a cute idea I saw on Pinterest:bunny1

Well, I still see snow on the ground here, so my pretty porch will have to wait a bit longer. Remember to just plan what you will need to decorate your outdoor vignette and the rest will fall into place, like I demonstrated with my Autumn porch here. Headed off to Sarasota Wednesday and I hope to take some photos to share!
