This is our second summer in this house but really the first summer I am decorating. I don't have a lot of front porch decor because we have never had one this big. It is one of the things that I really liked about this house. This is my favorite front porch of all our houses. Last year we bought 2 rockers and a glider bench from Sam's and I just threw some pillows on them and called it a day.
I had had my eye on drum stools to go on the porch but couldn't bring myself to pay $60+ for one. This year I happened to find them at Lowe's for $40. I still didn't feel comfortable paying for more than one so I bought one in white and figured that would be that.
Ed and I were at Menards the next day and found that they had some on sale for $20 but only a certain color. It's a nice color but not what I had in mind for the front porch. I grabbed one and went to the paint department and picked up a can of primer and a can of blue paint.
I put 2 coats of the gray primer on the stool starting on the inside. Then I put another 2 coats of navy blue paint on also starting on the inside.
Not too bad for $20 and the cost of some paint! It may have only cost about $10 less for this one than the one from Lowes but it's a color I love!
After that the porch just kind of came together. I picked up a few things here and there plus added some things that I already had on hand. I think it turned out quite nice!
The wreath is made from paper stars. I made it a couple of years ago and it has lasted much longer than I thought it would!
I really enjoyed decorating the porch for the Fourth this year. How do you decorate yours? I would love to see so drop me a quick note with a link to yours!
Thanks for stopping by!
