wow guys!! i stand corrected! i HAVE had petunias on my porch before! I just watched my old porch decorate with me video and saw that i have had success with them a few years ago! 😄 ua-cam.com/video/QK7-tWxZxdI/v-deo.htmlsi=Z-X7bXhvqB4sKkpD
This is my first time seeing your video. Your porch looks so beautiful. Love the blue and white and hope you still have the lamp that's different and i really like that idea. But if that does stay try LED lights. And congrats on your baby girl. I can't for a new video. Have a blessed and awesome day to you and your family.
@@thecrossoncottage you have a new subscriber i was just telling 3 of people about your channel. Now once I'm done cooking i have to see your Christmas porch. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I'm so excited to see it. And thank you so much for your content.
Being that I just found your channel, I called my husband in the office and said come see how beautiful this mom is; he said Yes she is. Enjoy your day
I just found your channel and subscribed. Your porch is gorgeous! Tell your husband that if a hurricane comes you not only have to remove the lamp but most of that decor as well, so it can stay till then! The only thing I would do is you need to take your ferns out and put something down in the pots to raise them up as they are too low. Great job and your porch is gorgeous! 💯❤️
@@cherylmiller7208 true! we always make sure we take everything off the porch before a hurricane so this is no exception! lol for my ferns-i do have a clay pot within the tall pots, i just should have put a little more potting soil in there to raise it more! I still might! Thank you so much for watching! glad to have you as a subscriber!
We have had a lot of pollen to. I live in Knoxville, Georgia about 29 miles west of Macon, Georgia. It's rained a lot here to. I hope it gets rid of the pollen. I just found channel. My name is Claudette, I'm 78 years old, live by myself with my 2 cats. My husband passed away almost 12 yrs ago. Claudette
What a sweet little helper you have. It’s so nice when children want to help. You have a gorgeous family. I hope you get to take your trip so your little ones can experience how beautiful fall is. Your porch looks so beautiful. Please tell your assistant that she did a wonderful job. Loved your video!
Remove dead flowers from petunias to keep them growing -- it's a must. Yes, blue and white is always in style!! Like the lamp and you can get ones specifically for covered outdoor use -- but the scale seems off with the floral. Maybe just try the cherry stems for height to complement the short lamp. Felt the same about the pot on the column. Maybe pot on the floor or a short riser and the column at the far end behind and along side the rocker with another fern. Love your happy attitude.
Your porch is beautiful - the blue and white makes it look lovely with the beautiful chairs. Have you thought about running white lights in the porch ceiling? You have a beautiful family!
i have thought about the bistro lights! we already have canned lighting out there but i really would actually like to put a ceiling fan on either end to get a good breeze going!
Yes I’m a sucker with blue and white lamps, pillow covers anything. If bad weather is coming you’ll be preparing by taking in the breakable items. It is so pretty.❤❤❤
Keep the lamp just put it on a timer or leave it unplugged looks great. Pull off dead flowers on your petunias they love it and produce more flowers. Love your porch.
Your porch is so pretty!! I think I would boost up the ferns a bit with a smaller upside-down pot inside & under the fern. The begonia is beautiful but looks dangerously top heavy around the littles & the dog. Maybe a smaller flowering plant in a lightweight faux clay pot & and the begonia down beside the column. Absolutely love the pillow cover idea, and the blue & white are my favorite!❤
I really love the way you decorated your front porch. I love the blue you added. We spend a lot of of time on our porch, here in Louisana it gets really hot in the summer, so having light colors and fans makes it bearable. Happy porch sitting!!
So excited you are back! Congratulations to you and your family! Your new baby is so precious as are all your beautiful children. The kiddos grow so fast so make sure to enjoy every moment! Your fans will always be here waiting for you whenever you have time! Thank you for helping to kick my motivation back into high gear! Your porch looks beautiful! Enjoy and we'll see you soon! Happy Easter. God bless!
...Just came across your Channel... it came up on my Feed... so I am watching as you refresh your Front Porch... :) First, may I say you look fabulous, for having a 5 month old baby ! And you are beautiful, wow. So, ...I recommend Krud Kutter for your Outdoor Furniture... its non toxic, and does a great job. I've used this product for decades. ...and yes, I think you should paint your Rocking chairs, in a satin finish white , to co- ordinate with the Resin chairs. ( I am a former Professional Painter) and a good cleaning, and then paint will do a lot to refresh your Rocking chairs. I do not do " real plants, " lol. I have only a few that I know I cant " kill off " , lol...so I opt for lifelike faux ones. I can clean those as required. ..so I love the Flowers, looks so pretty ! Your Porch is Beautiful... I love how resourceful you are, with the pillowcase, that is something I'd do ,in the meantime ...and its washable! And you can change it whenever needed. 👌🏻 I am the same ,with these " trends " ....not just the Blue and white as you mentioned but A LOT OF things I've had,used for y e a r s. Lol. ( and I'm older 60 + years young, lol). I agree with the Mosquito products, I am allergic to those ! Lol. I use Lamps everywhere... the kitchen, bathroom. Hallway, Outdoors,..lol..I love the Soft Glow of Lamps, and I even read Outside by the Lamp I have out there.... You actually can find " Outdoor Lamps " but I'd still bring that in ,with Hurricane Season. I am now a New Subscriber, thank you for a lovely Video. 😊🙂✨️
Love the blue/white theme. So clean and airy. And yes, keep the lamp - it adds a nice touch. I've been doing it for years and absolutely love it. I'm in Seminole County and can't believe how hot it already is.
Love the lamp!!! ❤ you can unplug it from socket and buy the lights that are chargable.. no worry of being electrocuted 😅 Loved this so much I sent it to my sister in law and mother in law to watch
Love your porch. Fertilizer your petunias every 7-10 days with liquid MIRACLE GROW. They will thrive and stay lush and beautiful. Also watering is a MUST every 3-4 days.
Oh my goodness…. It turned out BEAUTIFUL….i absolutely love the lamp and your pillows. Everything just looked perfect. We live in Kentucky and our sinuses and allergies have been terrible already. We don’t know why but I think it’s going to be a rough year for them. Also, you seem like such a wonderful mom and have a huge heart for your animals too💛💛
Hey! Jill here! Your porch looks lovely. Those 3 littles are just adorable. I just wanted to offer a suggestion about your hanging baskets. Grab a S hook at the hardware store and some chain. That will let them hang lower. More pleasing to the eye and easier to water. Many blessings!!!
Love what you've done today. You could always spray paint those resin wicker pieces. I think a coastal blue and white scheme would be beautiful. Also, if you do not want to paint, You could always use industrial strength outdoor bleach and a sprayer to clean the stains off of those resin wicker pieces
It's to bad you can't screen in your porch to keep those pesky bugs away. I always hate that your cooped in all winter and it's time to get outside and the bugs drive you away. Petunias can take the heat really well you need to water them after the sun goes down, but they are a heat tolerant plant. Love the lamp. I got from Amazon a solar lamp that I use on my deck with my RV. It's so nice to have a lamp on the deck or porch. Try getting the solar one all you need to do is charge it by the sun. If your hubby' is against it due to being plug in them try the solar. Also, you may want to try some battery-operated candles or some battery-operated fairy lights.
I am brand new to your channel! It is so nice to see a fellow blue and white chinoiserie lover! Blue and white chinoiserie is really huge up here in New England and in Massachusetts! I recently went on a tour in Salem and the tour guide told us that chinoiserie goes back all the way to when the settlers settled in New England, they used to trade goods with China for chinoiserie pieces so technically, it is a Chinese pattern. I have loved it for years! Your porch came out stunning💙💙💙💙💙
oh my gosh welcome fellow chinoiserie lover! 💙 lol that is so interesting about the original settlers !! it seriously makes me love the pattern even more. New England has the BEST antiques!
Your porch is lovely, but I'm worried about that begonia being a little top heavy! I'm afraid one of the children will bump it and down it will go ! I'm just rather cautious. LOL !!! LOve the arrangement on the stand with the lamp. So pretty.
Put a low wattage bulb in the lamp, and I bet your husband will love it. The lamp is out of the ordinary and there is nothing better. Just sight back in the glow and take the compliments1
How do you plan to keep it all clean and neat with kids and the dirty cat? Asking for a friend. LOL! It is so very beautiful and the southern flair is popping and very present. Love it!
it most definitely won't be as clean as it is on day 1!!! lol! i do go out and sweep once a week but other than that, the kids play mainly out back so its only the cat i have to worry about! lol
I love it everything looks amazing KEEP THE LAMP for the ambience! And you hit the mark with the blue and white timeless beauty! New sub here from southeast Georgia USA and really enjoying your content. God bless you and your precious family! 🙏🤗❤️🌻
New friend as I just found your channel. I couldn’t wait for us to build our new house because I would finally have a front porch to decorate. UNFORTUNATELY we are on a corner so the wind whips around and blows my decor over ALL THE TIME! I love your porch decor! I HAVE to find what works for my front porch.
Love the blue pillow covers. I think everything looks beautiful. Yes on the lamp it makes it look so cozy. Just bring it in when a hurricane is coming. I live in Florida and I just keep a wicker basket in the living area with some blankets in it, then I can just grab it and stick everything from out side in it doring bad weather. As someone whom has very bad allergies I say ask your pediatrician about allergy shots for your son. They make such a big difference. As you can be taught how to give the shot to him at home it's very simple to do. You practice on a orange. I agree the pollen is crazy right now. Also on the allergy subject my trick is to change my pillow case every day as pollen lays in your hair this makes a difference really. I do showers every night before bed but I don't wash my hair everyday. Sometimes if I am having a itchy eyes and skin I just end up washing my hair and it makes sure a big difference how I feel. Also change your filter more often and if you could get a air purifier for his bedroom and one for your mane living area they make allergy a lot better. Yes I have suffered for many years and still now as a adult these things help. They changed my life really. Sorry for me responding with this information but It's very important to me unless you have allergies you can't understand this feeling. It's like having the flu you just feel that bad.
i bet it feels so wonderful out there now! there is nothing like a little refresh-its just getting the motivation to do it is the hard part for me! lol thank you for watching!
I just found your channel and I love it! Your porch is so cozy, I love the lamp! You could always use a battery powered bulb or candle and not have to plug it in. God bless, and thank you for sharing !
You asked about the pollen this year. Well, I am just down the road from you and boy everything has been covered with yellow. Your porch is lovely and you have a beautiful family. And your watch cat and dog are wonderful! Enjoyed your channel. I am glad I am not the only one those little vampires like to chase. I hate those buggers!
This brings back sweet memories of when my 3 were little. I totally get it. Whew! It goes fast! I'm 61 now and being an empty nester was an adjustment! Luckily I'm busy with my career as a hairdresser. I miss these days though! :)
Team lamp! Tell your hubby you get plenty of weather forecast ahead of time to bring it in! ❤the blue and white too! The little touches like lamp, flowers, candy dish hiding mosquito wipes, the old timey ratan fans...❤ it all! Great job! I've been to your Strawberry festival and loved it 🍓
The three baskets on the wall are perfect! Your color story is beautiful and goes well with the color of your house. Your porch is beautiful and inviting! ❤️ Love the lamp! ❤
You must live near me. I'm excited what someone does in my part of the world..Florida can be a real challenge. I say the same thing, We stay in all summer and play outside in the winter. Ohhh the pollen the pollen
I love the blue and white chinoiserie lamp and pillows, it’s classic and timeless. Thanks for sharing wonderful ideas ,your porch is beautiful and cozy.
Try pink paste and you will be amazed at this product and it’s inexpensive. You could buy it here at Publix in Florida South Florida so it’s really cheap and it goes along way, but do not leave it on so long that it dries into their otherwise you’ll be scrubbing it off lol. Good luck. Hope this helps you. It helped me get residue Paint from My Husband trying to paint my front door which she can’t write that well and so what made him decide to paint while I was babysitting and another county is beyond me but pink save the day there’s pink paste and pink liquid. The liquid is so watery. It doesn’t stay on there long enough to do anything but pink paste is the bomb For many things you can even test it on fabric stains do a test though and carpet mistakes you name it. Good luck happy Easter and welcome to spring, your friend Gerri
So beautiful! I have outdoor string lights plugged in all year round on a timer. I’m not sure why your husband doesn’t like the lamp. People have all kinds of things plugged in but maybe I’m living dangerously 😂
As a collector and lover of blue and white... this porch is calling my name!!!! Love it all. As for the lamp.. take out the bulb and put in a solar light from the Dollar Tree (just remove the stake) . Also I am so jealous of that ottoman find! What a score! I have been looking for one and they are expensive. The only thing I have an issue with is that tall Grecian pedestal, which does not go with the rattan and wood chairs. But mostly... you have very small children, and one bump and someone can get injured from the falling pot or falling over pedestal.
so true about the pedestal and being easily knocked over! i may have to reconfigure something. i just wanted to fill that empty space between the door and window! thank you for watching!!!
The porch looks great love your decor the cushions are awesome it gives a great look with the wicker chairs and footstool plants really finished up the decor thanks for sharing your awesome video blessings to you and family enjoy the spring and summer with your family ❤❤it
Your porch looks very nice....LOVE the ferns!! ❤ Your covered porch is great...we only have a no roof deck...so with the summer rain here in WI....Can't have alot of decor out there
Love the lamp!..I did a solar one..cut the cord off add a solar light from the dollar tree I glued mine in the socket..I thrifted a lamp at goodwill just for that purpose ❤
Love you Verandah. You could buy another lot of cases and sew the together, so that they have pattern on both sides, their cheap enough. They will also last longer, you can change them around, and get less fading. Have a great day.
Hey there,new sub here! Great video…porch looks wonderful! Make me think of mine and that I should get mine into shape. We just moved here to KY fro northern WI and loving every minute of it. Our weather here has been pretty nice, lovely blue sky and sunny day for Palm Sunday 😊. Your children are so cute and when you were explaining how things were going with you, it reminded me of when my kids were little…I had four and all grown. We are waiting to become grandparents soon…one of my daughters is pregnant with twin girls (first time mom) and we are so excited! Amyway, thank you for sharing your porch and family! God bless ❤
Add lots of flowering plant fertilizer to water when watering your potted flowers, and even your ferns, it makes all the difference for a great "show" for the season. But don't your plants last year round in FL?
Beautiful southern porch. I love the wicker furniture (I have wood wicker) and the blue and white with the crystal is so nice and cool. The lamp is so nice as well BUT the light at night will draw every bug you can imagine and I don’t want the bugs around so I screened my porch. Washing wicker, I wash my furniture with dash dish detergent and I add a little bleach in the mixture scrub the furniture with a (dollar tree) brush. Sit the furniture out in the sun until dry and for my wooden furniture I paint it white every third year, but I like the rustic look. Although I am a northern, my parents and grandparents were southern, so I know a little something about the Deep South.
thank you for the tips! i am a northerner myself but a florida transplant now! i miss the seasons but get to visit my family up there every so often! thank you so much for watching!!
The lamp on the porch is beautiful. I love it. If you enjoy being outside in the evenings it really helps with not attracting bugs to where you are. A big overhead lamp brings them in . I live in the south and we are always fighting bugs so I go with low lighting for being out at night. I also love the blue and white. I think it carries all spring and summer.
so true!! the bugs FLOCK to our home it seems so maybe this will help! i really need to get another citronella candle for this side to keep away mosquitos!
So nice to see you back !. The porch is so charming.. 💙💙💙 I love it !. I am definitely team lamp. That is something I so would do. Lol. Your kiddo's are getting so big. Everything is absolutely BEAUTIFUL !
glad i'm not the only one who thinks a lamp is cool on the porch! LOL! oh my gosh yes they are getting sooo big it's insane! Thank you so much for watching!❤

Keep the lamp just put it on a timer or leave it unplugged looks great. Pull off dead flowers on your petunias they love it and produce more flowers. Love your porch.
Beautiful mom and kids! God bless! Great job!👏🏻👏🏻
petunias love sun but also like water. I love the lamp looks very homey and welcoming.
Texas - it is May already and near Dallas we have had more rain than usual so far this year. Enjoy those babies. Mine are grown and I miss them!
Love the way your porch turned out. The blue and white are perfect. I'll be looking for more of your videos. Precious children. God bless.
Thank you so much Sylvia! Thank you for watching💙
Love your porch with all your flowers & love the lamp!

dang it!! hopefully you can find a solution so you can have fun decorating! 😄 thank you so much for watching!!! ❤
Love the blue pillow covers. I think everything looks beautiful. Yes on the lamp it makes it look so cozy. Just bring it in when a hurricane is coming. I live in Florida and I just keep a wicker basket in the living area with some blankets in it, then I can just grab it and stick everything from out side in it doring bad weather. As someone whom has very bad allergies I say ask your pediatrician about allergy shots for your son. They make such a big difference. As you can be taught how to give the shot to him at home it's very simple to do. You practice on a orange. I agree the pollen is crazy right now. Also on the allergy subject my trick is to change my pillow case every day as pollen lays in your hair this makes a difference really. I do showers every night before bed but I don't wash my hair everyday. Sometimes if I am having a itchy eyes and skin I just end up washing my hair and it makes sure a big difference how I feel. Also change your filter more often and if you could get a air purifier for his bedroom and one for your mane living area they make allergy a lot better. Yes I have suffered for many years and still now as a adult these things help. They changed my life really. Sorry for me responding with this information but It's very important to me unless you have allergies you can't understand this feeling. It's like having the flu you just feel that bad.
Thank you so much for all of the allergy tips! That is honestly very helpful! And thank you for watching!
Greetings from Ireland, you have a beautiful porch, Its the bees knees.
it is my life long dream to visit Ireland someday! thank you so much for watching!!! 😍
Yes for the lamp !
Very pretty! Maybe just do a battery operated bulb if you have worries. ❤
that is brilliant! i might have to do that! thank you for watching! 😊
That porch was so cute, nice and clean but that stoff on your porch is soo beautiful ❤
I did the same clean the porch thing today! Hard work. I washed everything! I redecorated and put out new cushions. 🎉❤🎉❤
i bet it feels so wonderful out there now! there is nothing like a little refresh-its just getting the motivation to do it is the hard part for me! lol thank you for watching!
I love the lamp and pillow covers. The blue and white looks so good amongst all the lush green surroundings ❤
Thank you so much! Glad you are team lamp! LOL!
I have the blue toile in my house also. I love it all. Keep the lamp!
Would just repaint white rockers with good outdoor paint like Valspar.
I just found your channel and I love it! Your porch is so cozy, I love the lamp! You could always use a battery powered bulb or candle and not have to plug it in. God bless, and thank you for sharing !
Thank you so much for watching Lisa!! 💙
I’ve used lamps on my porch and patios, I love them in the evenings! Your porch turned out great!
I can't believe it took me this long to put one out there! i'm loving it so far! thank you for watching!!! ❤
You asked about the pollen this year. Well, I am just down the road from you and boy everything has been covered with yellow. Your porch is lovely and you have a beautiful family. And your watch cat and dog are wonderful! Enjoyed your channel. I am glad I am not the only one those little vampires like to chase. I hate those buggers!
hey there neighbor! i'm hoping the pollen is on the way out finally!! thank you so much for watching! i appreciate it! ❤
Just found you today. And I am currently working on my screen porch also. Have a wonderful weekend ❣️
@@salimorton641 aw yay!! welcome! ❤ how fun! hope it all comes together🥰
The porch and the lamp is just beautiful!
This brings back sweet memories of when my 3 were little. I totally get it. Whew! It goes fast! I'm 61 now and being an empty nester was an adjustment! Luckily I'm busy with my career as a hairdresser. I miss these days though! :)
Team lamp! Tell your hubby you get plenty of weather forecast ahead of time to bring it in! ❤the blue and white too! The little touches like lamp, flowers, candy dish hiding mosquito wipes, the old timey ratan fans...❤ it all! Great job! I've been to your Strawberry festival and loved it 🍓
hahah that is true! they give us plenty of warning! 😅 oh my goodness yay! love that you have been there!
The three baskets on the wall are perfect! Your color story is beautiful and goes well with the color of your house. Your porch is beautiful and inviting! ❤️ Love the lamp! ❤
Thank you so much Cindy!!
@@thecrossoncottage you’re very welcome.
How beautiful! Simple and elegant.love the lamp..❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
I also just found your channel. I love your porch decor and you decorating with your daughters. ❤
oh my goodness thank you! welcome! ❤
You must live near me. I'm excited what someone does in my part of the world..Florida can be a real challenge. I say the same thing, We stay in all summer and play outside in the winter. Ohhh the pollen the pollen
I love the blue and white chinoiserie lamp and pillows, it’s classic and timeless. Thanks for sharing wonderful ideas ,your porch is beautiful and cozy.
Try pink paste and you will be amazed at this product and it’s inexpensive. You could buy it here at Publix in Florida South Florida so it’s really cheap and it goes along way, but do not leave it on so long that it dries into their otherwise you’ll be scrubbing it off lol. Good luck. Hope this helps you. It helped me get residue Paint from My Husband trying to paint my front door which she can’t write that well and so what made him decide to paint while I was babysitting and another county is beyond me but pink save the day there’s pink paste and pink liquid. The liquid is so watery. It doesn’t stay on there long enough to do anything but pink paste is the bomb For many things you can even test it on fabric stains do a test though and carpet mistakes you name it. Good luck happy Easter and welcome to spring, your friend Gerri
Oh I've seen that stuff! I'll have to give it a try! thank you for watching! :)
Very Pretty! The lamp is a cute idea.
Love everything.. just need to remove the pedestal and replace it with something else to put your flower pot on.. but everything is beautiful!
So beautiful! I have outdoor string lights plugged in all year round on a timer. I’m not sure why your husband doesn’t like the lamp. People have all kinds of things plugged in but maybe I’m living dangerously 😂
As a collector and lover of blue and white... this porch is calling my name!!!! Love it all. As for the lamp.. take out the bulb and put in a solar light from the Dollar Tree (just remove the stake) . Also I am so jealous of that ottoman find! What a score! I have been looking for one and they are expensive. The only thing I have an issue with is that tall Grecian pedestal, which does not go with the rattan and wood chairs. But mostly... you have very small children, and one bump and someone can get injured from the falling pot or falling over pedestal.
so true about the pedestal and being easily knocked over! i may have to reconfigure something. i just wanted to fill that empty space between the door and window! thank you for watching!!!
The porch looks great love your decor the cushions are awesome it gives a great look with the wicker chairs and footstool plants really finished up the decor thanks for sharing your awesome video blessings to you and family enjoy the spring and summer with your family ❤❤it
Such a beautiful porch. Love your colors
No lamp dangerous. Very pretty. Pretty children too.
Love the porch ❤️
Your porch looks very nice....LOVE the ferns!! ❤ Your covered porch is great...we only have a no roof deck...so with the summer rain here in WI....Can't have alot of decor out there
Love the lamp!..I did a solar one..cut the cord off add a solar light from the dollar tree I glued mine in the socket..I thrifted a lamp at goodwill just for that purpose ❤
love that!! i honestly might have to do the same thing to give my husband peace of mind! lol
@@thecrossoncottage that would def help!..mines a electrician so he wouldn’t like it either🤣💯✅
@@Freddybender123 lol too funny!!! those husbands...thankful they are always lookin out for us 😅
@@thecrossoncottage thank goodness for that✅💥
Love you Verandah. You could buy another lot of cases and sew the together, so that they have pattern on both sides, their cheap enough. They will also last longer, you can change them around, and get less fading. Have a great day.
great idea!!!
Hey there,new sub here! Great video…porch looks wonderful! Make me think of mine and that I should get mine into shape. We just moved here to KY fro northern WI and loving every minute of it. Our weather here has been pretty nice, lovely blue sky and sunny day for Palm Sunday 😊. Your children are so cute and when you were explaining how things were going with you, it reminded me of when my kids were little…I had four and all grown. We are waiting to become grandparents soon…one of my daughters is pregnant with twin girls (first time mom) and we are so excited! Amyway, thank you for sharing your porch and family! God bless ❤
I bet Kentucky is beautiful this time of year! And how exciting!!! Grandparents are SO special. I truly treasured mine❤️ Thank you for watching!
Add lots of flowering plant fertilizer to water when watering your potted flowers, and even your ferns, it makes all the difference for a great "show" for the season. But don't your plants last year round in FL?
Beautiful southern porch. I love the wicker furniture (I have wood wicker) and the blue and white with the crystal is so nice and cool. The lamp is so nice as well BUT the light at night will draw every bug you can imagine and I don’t want the bugs around so I screened my porch. Washing wicker, I wash my furniture with dash dish detergent and I add a little bleach in the mixture scrub the furniture with a (dollar tree) brush. Sit the furniture out in the sun until dry and for my wooden furniture I paint it white every third year, but I like the rustic look. Although I am a northern, my parents and grandparents were southern, so I know a little something about the Deep South.
thank you for the tips! i am a northerner myself but a florida transplant now! i miss the seasons but get to visit my family up there every so often! thank you so much for watching!!
Love lamp
For you lamp you can put those rechargeable light bulbs I have a lamp on mine, saw it on Pinterest also.
yes!! a battery operated light would be perfect!
Love your style!..mosquitoes love me too ugh lol..wish I could have glass outside we get too much wind!
Beautiful porch video! Love the lamp and everything looks so cozy! Beautiful family❤
The lamp on the porch is beautiful. I love it. If you enjoy being outside in the evenings it really helps with not attracting bugs to where you are. A big overhead lamp brings them in . I live in the south and we are always fighting bugs so I go with low lighting for being out at night. I also love the blue and white. I think it carries all spring and summer.
so true!! the bugs FLOCK to our home it seems so maybe this will help! i really need to get another citronella candle for this side to keep away mosquitos!
Looks so beautiful! Yes, spring allergies coming early this year, I think cause it didn't snow much here in the winter in Idaho
Love the lamp
Yes! Love the lamp! 🩵🤍💙
Living it ..but the heavy plant on the column scares me with little kids ..just a heads up ❤..have a blessed day
I just found you! I love your southern porch
Yes lamp, I do one
So nice to see you back !. The porch is so charming.. 💙💙💙 I love it !. I am definitely team lamp. That is something I so would do. Lol. Your kiddo's are getting so big. Everything is absolutely BEAUTIFUL !
