Welcome Everyone! My porch is small but I think it is colorful and cozy.
My hubby and I use it all the time and especially now when we are having such gorgeous summer days!
An old bench I painted last year.![]()
A tablescape from last summer! I enjoyed this look!

Potted plants
Old wicker chairs.
With a view!
Thanks for coming by my friends, I have a busy week and then Dan and I are off to visit Jane (Blondie's Journal) and her husband Al. I know, I know I am a lucky gal! We get to stay in their lovely lake home too!

Good morning, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI thought I commented last night but I don't see it so here I am again :) A joy stopping by to visit and enjoy the beautiful photos of your lovely porch and projects. It all looks so nice and so inviting!
Not sure what is prettier... your sitting areas or gazing out at your yard and seeing the peaceful green of the lawn and trees.
Kindly, Lorraine
How delightful. From the darling rug under the round table to the table set for two. Well done. Thanks for visiting my blog...I'm a bit behind in my commenting and trying hard to catch up. Sorry it took me so long to get here! Hope you have a great week.

ReplyDeleteHI Cindy! OH, your porch is so pretty and I love the pieces your hubby has redone. Your little table for your in laws is darling AND the view! Oh, what a beautiful place you have. I've missed visiting with you and had to scroll down and see what you've been up to and there is that little darling Addison! She is darling and I could be jealous - look at her hair! :) Poor little Carter is still on the bald side. Well, she has some hair but it's clear! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
