My front porch has changed many times over the years, but the one constant has been my bench. This year my Chinese Chippendale planter and blue and white garden stools complete the chinoiserie look.

One of my favorite features about my house is the side-facing door.

The garage doors don't face the street either.
Entering from the garage creates a different view of the porch.

A few years ago I painted my front door navy. I haven't gotten tired of it yet. Have you noticed I've been adding navy to my decor? Is navy becoming my new black?
Naw, I'll never give up black.

The fern seems very happy in the Chinese Chippendale planter. I originally purchased this planter to use as a Christmas tree stand. I'll still use it for that this winter.

Do you change your porch every Spring?
So pretty and welcoming.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Marty. I'm loving what you're doing with your new home.
DeleteLove the navy door with the brick! My door is navy, but my siding is gray. It looks great with so many colors/surfaces. Also LOVE the Chippendale planter. I have a similar one on my honey-do list for my husband to build. What is the vine growing on the brick? It looks very happy and healthy there! Very cheery and welcoming porch! Can't believe how much further along your hosts are than mine in NE. Mine are still emerging and haven't even unfurled their leaves. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
DeleteThanks so much. The vine is a climbing hydrangea. It took a while to get established so you must be patient. It will have small white blooms soon.
