Hello Everyone! Don't you just love summer. The decorating possibilities expand to include the outside of our homes as well as the inside. Here is a peek at my outside decorating.
How about something beautiful and dramatic on the front door. I purchased this basket several years ago and just love to change it with the seasons. This summer I tucked a smaller grapevine wreath inside the basket and tied a little sign to the wreath. Next I filled the basket with soft hydrangeas, roses and vines. To finish it off I added some burlap and a piece of old vintage lace.
I just love the way it turned out and seriously it was all stuff I had on hand!
Now I did hit a flea market this weekend and just could not leave without this little bird. Way too sweet!
After looking around for the perfect place to hang it, I decided it was the front porch post.
I have an old screened window which hangs on my front porch. The window is not only pretty cute but it is functional as far as shading the porch. Well, I had been looking for a banner to hand on it and the ones I found were either made of paper(which wouldn't hold up outside) or they were just too expensive.
Sometimes we just have to take matters into our own hands. Some burlap, twine, old lace, buttons, etc. Just about anything you can find will work.
My front porch might be small but that doesn't stop me from decorating it. A cozy front porch is sure to bless your guest and welcome you home each time you leave.
I have so much more to share with you so stop by for a visit again soon. You don't want to miss all the great outdoors decorating ideas.
Blessings from my front porch to yours.
