My Beautiful Summer Porch
It was past time to repaint the front porch floor, so we painted it last weekend. That also meant painting over the old painted rug. Even though I loved that rug, I couldn’t do the same thing again. What’s the fun of keeping it the same when you can do something fresh and different?!
I really liked the black and white though, so I decided to keep the colors but tone down the pattern a little and move some of the furniture around for a completely different look. Buh-bye rocking chairs, hello pew.
The houndstooth rug is painted on….cute huh?! I loves it.
I will do a tutorial on how we did it next week, but I couldn’t wait to show you the porch all cozy and ready for you to stop over for a visit! I’ll have water with peppermint or citrus essential oils all ready for ya!
I picked up my Relax sign at a roadside stand a few weeks ago. It’s the perfect message for our guests when they arrive. I want it to be a place where people can rest and find peace.
And we got the bunting and flag screens back out….they just make me happy.
I really wish you could smell it out there. The vines are to.die.for. I also put some potted plants in old buckets and added my collection of gas cans that I have gathered over the years. No reason for gas cans. I just like ’em.
I filled my little flea market shopping cart with games and balls to encourage family togetherness.
Now that the porch is dressed up for summer I want to have a picnic or something.
Thanks for stopping by!

What a lovely, welcoming spot you’ve created! So pretty and cozy and I love the new ‘rug’ too! Can’t wait to see your tutorial! We have a very narrow little porch, but I keep thinking that we could make it so much more useful with just a few changes! Thanks for the inspiration!
Your summer porch is absolutely beautiful Lisa!! I love the painted houndstooth rug, the “Relax” sign & all of your patriotic touches! Looks like a wonderful place to sit & spend time with family this summer! Enjoy!
BEAUTIFUL!! If only you lived closer and I could sit with you and chat on that beautiful porch! xo
very relaxing and inviting 🙂 it says sit back, stay awhile, put your feet up!! 🙂
This is truly stunning! I adore your screen door and all your upcycled touches. Charming to the extreme!
I love your porch!
I miss mine, even though we moved from our old house 13 years ago! A deck is just not the same. 🙁 I’ll just live vicariously on yours! lol
Oh, Lisa! #1–I love porches. #2–I love houndstooth. #3–I love old church pews. Add all that up: I LOVE your front porch!
That “Relax” sign is just too much. And I seriously cannot wait to see how you painted the houndstooth “rug.” It all looks wonderful!
I love it OH so much. I would do everything exactly to the letter the same….love EVERY aspect!
It looks lovely! I love the “Relax” sign. We never have flea markets that good around here!
I’m loving the porch….way too cute and relaxing…..I would spend all my time chilling on the porch if I lived with you…hahaha
Love it! Looks so relaxing and inviting!
