Your porch is really taking shape. Love what you've done so far. If you like the natural color of the furniture, you should seal it with a clear marine-grade sealant. The marine-grade will hold up well in wet weather. Advice from an old woman: If your husband likes the colored lights, consider using that setting for a while. It's such a small way to say, "I love you, and I value your opinion."
Thank you Vicki! I definitely will take your advice on the seal! I may do that with the lights :) He already won and got to keep that big grill on the porch so we will see ;) haha.... marriage is definitely all about compromise for sure!!! I hope you have a wonderful week!!!!
Hey T. Your porch turned out amazing. I love all the Easter touches and flowers. You brightened the area up. It's the perfect place to cozy up and enjoy a cup of coffee. I would have loved having such an awesome outdoor space. ❤
I like the natural color of the chairs! I think your little table is cute! The different textures add interest. Love the spring colors with the greenery! The lights are so inviting.
The colored lights are fun for spring. You can change them throughout the year. I love how you’ve done the pops of color on your front porch. It’s very springtime!
This is honestly so pretty! Great job, T. It’s really a spring oasis, both day and night! I’m in awe of how pleasant the weather is where you live. We are having a winter storm here! Day 2 lol. Very fitting with that shirt…. There are no coincidences in life! 🥰🙏Thanks for sharing this with us 🩷💐
Your porch looks so lovely. The power wash did the trick, for sure. A litttle sealer, and the furniture will be good to go.🎉 I absolutely love the beautiful Springlike vibes, the porch gives off, dear T. It's so nice. 🏡🙏🏻💐🌸💚🌻
I love your porch! What a perfect place to spend a quiet morning with a warm coffee and seeing the end at night with the fire and the gorgeous lighted garland around the door was lovely! Everything looks so good T!
It's still way too cold here in central WI to start my porch or even start gardening at all. Although my perennials are coming to life. I have 8 flower gardens and they all have different themes. A lot of work and I'm only in my 3rd yr. of being a gardener. I live on 80 acres, so my flower containers are very country I have 2 old wheeled mop buckets, coal bucket, a lg old grain scoop. . My show pc. in my garden décor is a claw foot bathtub that has a wooden cow head. The flowers are just gorgeous. I use many kinds of petunias and they hang over the sides. This yr. I will start my own seeds as I spent a fortune on flowers, as I also have a front porch plus a brick patio outback so I need a lot. Just subscribed. I love the colored solar lights.
Oh that sounds so lovely!!!! I would love to have 80 acres!!! This will be our first year planting an actual garden so I have a lot to learn!!! I’m looking forward to it though! I also can’t wait to grow my own pumpkins 🎃 ❤️ Have a great rest of your weekend!!!
I love your porch . It looks so pretty . I love the colours in the signs and the chairs. I think they will look Beautiful with what ever colour you choose to use .
New subscriber! I absolutely love your porch decor. I was looking for ideas for a larger porch as well. You have now inspirated me decorate my front porch. At the moment we have totes to unpack from just moving to a new home. So I am excited excited to hurry and unpack everything or put everything in a spare bedroom and decorate now. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I was going to put live plants. But I like the fake plants as well. Trip to Dollar Tree soon.
Hi Denise! So happy to have you and I am glad my video helped motivate you! Sometimes decorating a large porch can be challenging. It's been almost two years since we bought this house and I am still trying to figure it out! haha.... I love real flowers too, but it's nice to have some fake ones especially in early spring when you still have some chilly weather! I also don't have a green thumb so I like to have a mix of both! Have fun decorating your porch!!!!!
T you are off to a good start. Everything looks so pretty. I think I would just put a clear finish on those rocker. They look so good. We have a warm day every now and then and it turns cold again. Lots of rain. Soooo ready for spring. Won’t be much longer. You make me want to get outside and start getting ready for flowers. I noticed Lowe’s already has a good variety but it’s just too early. Can’t wait to get ferns hung on my front porch. I was cleaning the house and decided to take a break. I picked up my iPad and saw your post. So glad to see you. Guess my breaks over. Will be looking for you re Al soon I hope😘
Hi Shirley!!! I know, it's so hard not to start on all the flowers and planting! Hopefully just a few more weeks and we will be in the safe zone for that! We are getting some rain right now thankfully. We need it so much here! It's been very dry! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and yes definitely talk soon!!! :) Big hugs!
I think the lights look beautiful! I also love the color of the furniture. You could seal it and the color would last a long time. I think the pillows are very pretty too. I wanted to tell you...Scotch Guard your faux florals. It helps protect them from the sun. I always Scotch Guard my garden flags and my outdoor pillows every year. It would work on your florals also. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you add to your porch for Spring and I do love the fairy lights too! Everything looks just beautiful so far!☘🐇
Color! I can't say enough about it! 😊 I like how you tied the pots, hanging baskets, sign, bunny, lantern, rug and everything together cohesively . Isn't power washing satisfying? The porch furniture looks so much nicer now. I like the color. Maybe just a clear coat to finish it. Peach trees are wonderful. We had some, but they all died. They only last about 12 years I guess. Your porch is so homey and adorable❤😊
Yes!!! Color!!!! lol… I didn’t know peach trees don’t last that long! We have another one that is pretty new so I’ll try to make sure we have at least one at all times! They are so pretty! Thanks for your sweet comment my dear ❤️
Take your stakes out of the light and use a hammer lightly and it will go in easier. The stump blends in real good I think. It’s your rustic look.😊 I like the soft white lights.
Everything looks so beautiful I think try placing one of the long pillows on the small chair and the two small pillows on the bench rocker one on each side with the other long one in the middle of the bench.. That’s just my ocd talking😂 Anyway your porch turned out dreamy… I love the colorful lights. I also use faux plants on my patio as they blend well with the real vegetation
Thanks Cassandra!!! I can definitely relate to the OCD part!!!! lol…. I move things around a million times until I feel satisfied! I will definitely give that a try 🥰🥰🥰
I just found your channel today. I would paint your furniture black. You should also paint your front door black. That would give you a real pop with the color of your house. Just a idea!
Hi Erin! I was actually thinking the same thing!!! I might do that for my summer front porch refresh! I’m still brainstorming! Glad you found my channel ❤️ Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!!
Maybe black paint on furniture would tie in w mulch and be a grounding color for everything else u put on porch. I am not a designer just a thought. Have a blessed Easter
Hi Sharon! I actually had the same thought, but I think I might do that for my summer front porch! I definitely agree with you!!! Thank you for your advice!!! Happy Easter!!!!
I think to make sure to keep the weeds from coming up you may should have dug the grass area down to the dirt. and keep the weeds from creeping put the black plastic TRIM Border between the grass and the Mulch area.
Hi Patti, I actually haven’t painted them a color yet :) I’m going to leave the natural wood color through spring and I might paint them for summer! Still trying to decide ❤️❤️❤️
Greetings from Ireland, beautiful porch, Its the bees knees.

Thank you Rosemary! Happy to have you here ❤️
You did a great job! I love it.

Thank you Cathy! You and I are on the same page for sure ❤️

I think the white color of the solar lights look best especially with the fairy lights around the door.
I agree with you Sonja ❤️❤️❤️
You’re welcome
Very nice ❤
Thank you so much!!! Hope you have a great day!!!!
Like your colors I would clear coat bench and chair and I would paint the front door and get rid of the stump!!! Thanks 😊
I completely agree!!! What color do you think for the front door?! Thank you for your feedback ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very nice. Thank you
Thank you Sophia!!!!
Very pretty
Thank you very much Beth! ❤️

A pretty spring green rug would look nice under the rug you already have
That’s a great idea Sue! ❤️

Hi Ruth! I was afraid of that! I told my husband we were probably going to regret not doing that! lol… You live and learn I suppose! 😂 Stay tuned!
Looks like Christmas
I can definitely see that with all of the lights and the fire :) I love Christmas so I won't complain a bit :)
What color did you you use to paint your rocking chairs
Hi Patti, I actually haven’t painted them a color yet :) I’m going to leave the natural wood color through spring and I might paint them for summer! Still trying to decide ❤️❤️❤️
Your front door could do with a lick of paint or varnish. Keep up the good work.
Hi Karen, I am definitely thinking the same thing! I am trying to decide if I want to paint it, or stain it. Stay tuned :)
Love your porch area. They’re not that common at this side of the pond. 🥰
You have no idea how much joy it brings me to hear you talk/write ❤️
@@ParadisePoint. awww thank you. Such a sweet message xx
I hope you decided to clear coat.
I sure did ❤️❤️❤️
Sure. Spray it black. It won't hurt
I was hoping someone would agree with me!!! lol… Thank you Nina ❤️❤️❤️
Clear coat on the furniture
I think I’m going to do that this weekend 😍
Paint a color
I’m definitely considering it! I might keep them like that for spring then paint them for my summer decor! ❤️
