A Front Porch Nook Inspired by Art and Sand

Art and Sand: My Inspiration

As you know,
I don't know a thing about flowers.

My front porch is in the afternoon sun
and I come home to wilted flowers every day.

But I'm determined to create
a front porch that is bright.

I just love the ideas from Art and Sand.

She uses red, yellow and blue in
most of her vignettes.

So I tried some new things today.

The flowers in the large pot with the burlap "H" flag
were red, white and blue.

Don't look too closely.
I free-handed the "H".
I figured, "Who could see it from the road."

They were beyond recognition.
I put in the larger pot with more dirt.
They revived a little.

I spray painted the wrought iron patio chair
that I found by the side of the road.
The bottom has rusted out some,
but it's great for holding a plant.

This is the look from Fall.

This was the Spring look.
The patio chair and lantern just blended in.

Will find some pillows and may paint the bench.


Thanks Art and Sand for the inspiration.
