    Beautiful fall porch decorating ideas

    I’m a sucker for a beautifully decorated porch or container garden. I though Friday would be a good time to share these ideas with you incase you were looking for a weekend activity.

    I love this swing and the cozy tartan blanket. I’d go out there in the morning with my coffee and baby son and we’d read.

    A burlap sack filled with flowers is a unique way to decorate your door.

    Kale and pumpkins make a pretty pairing in this container garden.

    Another pretty container garden – I love all the layers.

    If you like a brighter look, a blue door with a painted magnolia leaf wreath makes for a cheerful welcome.

    If you’re into more is more – stacks of pumpkins and lanterns stuffed with string lights is an attention getter.

    How do you decorate your porch for fall?

    Gorgeous porch inspiration for summer!

    It’s finally summer!  The bees are buzzing the sun is shining, and in DC the humidity is steaming and mosquitos biting.  Frizzy hair and blood-suckers aside, this year, I am determined to have some sort of little container garden on my front porch, so I’ve been collecting some inspiration.

    We don’t have space or a roof for a swinging sofa, but how awesome would that be?

    I love more “wild” looking containers.

    …but I also like the symmetrical look.

    I really like pots cascading down the stairs…just not the green orbs.

  • Amazing Porch Inspiration. Sit back and relax

    Amazing Porch Inspiration. Sit back and relax

    Nothing energizes me like the smell of spring in the air.  I always want to clean house and freshen things up.  Of course, nothing makes me want to slow down and smell the roses either.  A porch like this would definitely have me spending warm afternoons doing absolutely nothing.

    Even a small porch can be made stylish and comfortable

     

     

    Oh my, I would never leave that porch, or the pool for that matter!

     

     

    I think this might be the same porch as the one above.  The white gauzy curtains just make it heaven, and something easy to DIY!

     

     

    I don’t think I’d ever want a TV on my porch, but definitely a fireplace.  I always like it when porches are styled and furnished to look like interior rooms.  Today there are so many materials and fabrics that look great and can stand up to weather.

     

     

    Minimal but beautiful – a nice place to catch up with neighbors.

     

    Many a book would be read on that swinging sofa if this were my porch!

    Gorgeous Gardens – little backyard hideaways

    I can’t wait to start shopping for flowers and plants for my front porch container garden this year. Here’s some inspiration I’ve found for this season.

    The Andre Eve Garden in France

    Love this – we have a very shady backyard.  Can anyone identify any of the plants or the white flowers?

    Gorgeous porch inspiration for spring

    First day of spring, and it’s been snowing here in Maryland for 6 hours. Hopefully this is the last hurrah for winter. This year, I am determined to have some sort of little container garden on my front porch, so I’ve been collecting some inspiration.

  • Inspiration for your outdoor space (if Spring ever gets here!)

    Inspiration for your outdoor space (if Spring ever gets here!)

    We are officially four days into spring, and even though we’ve barely felt the warm temperatures around here, I can’t help but daydream of what I would love to be doing to our outdoor space! We moved into our home last year mid summer and didn’t really get a chance to enjoy spring. Here’s some inspiration I’ve found that I’d love to incorporate in my outdoor area:

    How gorgeous is this outdoor space?! I love this so much. I can't wait to design our deck ... It will be so fun to pick out outdoor furniture.

    I like the idea of having some of outdoor space covered for really hot days so I can still enjoy the outdoors in the shade!

    love this

    Although we aren’t near the beach, I love the driftwood used as decor, and the big throw pillows for a homey feel.  And check out that giant clamshell planter!

    The huge potted plants are stunning in this space. It makes a great sense of privacy for the table and chairs while also being beautiful.

    This space doesn’t need a lot of words, that outdoor kitchen…dreamy

    Love the container gardens…I just wish I had the luck to keep them alive.

    I really like outdoor spaces that feel like the indoors.  This space is like an outdoor living room.

    Wow. Just gorgeous! I'll take the whole shebang

    There’s something about large outdoor curtains that scream luxury to me! The bring a little of the indoor out, great for privacy, and creating shade when you need it.

    What plans do you have for your outdoor space this season?
