Porch Decorating

We have an old home with a "Big Front Porch". It is really fun to decorate!! I have created this setting right by my front door to welcome our friends and family. We started with a round black table and a high back chair. Both painted black and distressed. Yes, we built the table and chair.
I added potted flowers, birdhouses, a family name plaque, twig & berry wreaths & a big barn star. My little Chlo Bug and her dad built the red birdhouse. It has a small area in the front for birdseed, and yes the birds found it!! Decorating a porch does not have to be hard. If you are having a hard time deciding what to do, let us know. We have built several different styles of tables, chairs & benches for outdoor decor.
We built this one for a good friend of ours. I have notices she has added outdoor pillows on it. It would be a great idea to change the pillow colors for the different seasons. Another thing to think about would be hanging a twig wreath in the center of the beadboard backing. Very Cool!!
