Good morning!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
Ours was extremely busy.
We gave the front and back yard a good cleaning, worked a little more on my craft room, my husband added some lighting, I finished painting and started organizing the room and in the process, I did hurt my wrist really bad.
I am wearing a brace right now, but I see a doctor's appointment in my very near future.
I told you decorating can be dangerous! LOL
Today I am sharing with you our front porch.
I finished it last week, but we have had some rainy and gloomy days, so I couldn't take any pictures.
And although these are not the best shots, this is what out porch looks like decorated for Spring.
It all started when I found this fabric. Well, not really fabric, but two napkins that I turned into a cute pillow.
I even found the table mat to match, which I used on one of my old outdoor tables after I gave it a fresh coat of paint.
I also made two burlap pillows of the same colors.
I made a wreath for the front door using some silk flowers which I mixed with some of the burlap leftover
from making the pillows.
And I painted a flower pot to match the colors which I used to add a plant to one side of the front door.
On the other side of the entrance, I used my old stand and one of the old crates my friend Carol gave me to display a pretty plant with some gorgeous flowers I found last week.
It is real, if you are wondering and I hope it survives the very warm temperatures we are having.
Isn't it pretty?
I also gave the crate a coat of white glaze and made a small Spring sign to give it a little color.
And here is how it all came together.
That's it! I know, too many pictures! :)
REMINDER
The link for my weekly party, Tuesdays at Our Home, will be live tonight at 8:00 PM Central Time.
Hope you can join me!
Until then, enjoy your Monday!

ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful. Perfect for Spring.
ReplyDeleteLove your porch, it is stunning and the colors are so pretty. You always have the greatest pillows. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on your porch! Pinks and greens are one of my favorite color combinations. How smart of you to make a pillow out of two napkins!
ReplyDeleteNot too many pictures at all! It is just gorgeous and so Springy looking. I love the pillows and your wreath is beautiful. Would you believe that we have snow coming on Wed & Thursday? xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYou "springified" your porch beautifully Maria Elena! Love those pretty pillows!
ReplyDeleteYou always have a beautiful and welcoming front porch! I love the pink & green color palette.
ReplyDeleteNever too many pictures!! Love seeing what you do! It looks beautiful.....so springy and colorful!! Love, love!!~~Angela
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks wonderful. Love all of the color. Definitely a breath of fresh air!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can imagine myself sitting right there enjoying a pretty cold pink lemonade :) I love it all!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Maria Elena! I envy you being able to put flowers out now without worrying about frost. I always get itchy between now and Mother's Day weekend {which I use as our point of last frost} to get some flowers outside. Love your lantern. I found a brass one at Goodwill last week and have been debating what color I want to paint it. After seeing yours, I think I will get a can of Heirloom White and spray it that color.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your wrist. I hope it feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks absolutely lovely...I really like the touches of pink and how you gave most everything a fresh coat of paint. The wreath, crate and pillows are so charming. I love it all! I'll be back later to join your party.
XO,
Jane
Your porch looks so inviting. I would love to have a seat and enjoy the fresh air there. The colors are so pretty, and to think the inspiration came from napkins!
ReplyDeleteMaria Elena, as always, your porch looks wonderful!! I love the lime and pink! And never too many pictures.. I love the ones up close!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and cheerful. Pink and green are some of my favorite colors. Happy Spring!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty and welcoming! Love the colors! You are all ready for Spring!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and full of Spring cheer.
ReplyDeleteWow, your front entry looks so pretty. Great colors and looks so "springy!"
ReplyDeleteYou have such a way with flowers and wreaths, Maria Elena. I love the fabric you chose and all the special little touches. People who come to your front door must think, "Wow, someone special lives here." They'd be right, of course!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well!
Take care,
Frances
Good Morning,
ReplyDeleteAll your pictures are so pretty. I was wondering if you put zippers, or slip cover backs to your pillowcases to allow you to easily remove pillow form?
completely inviting, and i love the use of your space, with that bench there.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and welcoming!!
ReplyDeleteIf it would stop snowing I would redo my porch for Spring/summer. As it is I cant do anything. My bench and chair and table need to be painted this year and cant do that till it warms up. This post makes me really want to get to it soon,
ReplyDeleteJanice
Love the pillows and adorable little table beside the bench! Loved that you created the floral pillow with two napkins! Perfect colors for a spring decor!
