Summer Porch Re-Fresh

So I haven’t done anything crafty since the birdhouse village and earrings…

And I haven’t done anything new with my porch since February…

So clearly I have been unmotivated or really busy. We’ll pretend it’s the later when really it’s the former.

I wanted to get a cute and comfy chair for the porch since I sit out there nearly every day to watch the kids.  It’s not so comfy to sit on the steps all the time. 

I went with a cute turquoise blue one from Target for $16. Getting the chair spurred the rest of the changes to the porch today. 

I decided to go ahead and try to plant some flowers in this pot (even though I almost always kill the flowers in these pots??) I spray painted this pot black and white around Christmas time. 

And then I added some orange and yellow felt flowers from a previous wreath to the wreath I’ve had up since Valentine’s Day.  I pin all the flowers on my wreaths so that I can rearrange them and reuse them for other wreaths at any given time. 

Not a huge change, but just a little re-fresh and it looks a whole lot more lively!
