INTRODUCING - THE BACK PORCH

I have been keeping a secret from you.  It's called the back porch.  

When we first looked at our house, 

I was a little disappointed it didn't have a big front porch like our last house did.

However, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the covered porch in the back. 

Unfortunately, there is no before picture, but just picture an empty, dark, drab porch.

Here it is now......

This space has been through quite a few transformations over the past three years. 

I have moved things in and out, here and there and everywhere. 

The chalkboard used to be a hideous landscape painting I picked up at the thrift store. 

The blue media cart was a dumpster find.

The copper bowl and glass bottles also came from the thrift store. 

Oh, and just to keep it real, I added the Ryan Adams song lyric while editing the photos. 

I told you yesterday that my handwriting is pathetic.  

I've been banned from putting it on display.

Hey, if I play my cards right, I may just get banned from filling out all school paperwork.

The hanging lanterns all came from Homegoods.

The only thing we changed about this space is the color of the ceiling.

It used to be stained dark. It really opened up the space and made it feel much larger. 

The bench came from an antique fair, 

as did the vintage wash tub in the background. 

The paisley pillows came from Pottery Barn (on sale with free shipping).

I added a few of the beautiful rocks we collected from our recent trip to Michigan. 

The base of the laundry tubs got a coat of paint.  I originally showed it to you to here. 

The lamp also came from the thrift store. 

I have escaped cozied up with a book on this sectional many times. 

With crisp fall weather hopefully on its way soon, I predict this will be my new favorite spot.

What's your favorite spot in your home?
