Perked Up Porch

by Jamala W
My porch was in dire need of a perking up.. I hemme and hawed about whether to paint it or just try to use a chemical to clean it.. I'm still daunting with it but since summer is here and I plan to spend some time sitting out there, I'll just perk it up a bit. I started with the two rocker chairs I posted earlier..and the rest was just pulled together with some other items i had in storage an vintage finds.. I think it says "Welcome" with a smile :-)
A trunk that I had in my garage and decided to make use of it
Painted it white and use it as a plant stand
use an old crate as a planter box and a folded seat as a sand (all of which i had in storage)
Hung a caribbean art print to add more color to the area
Found a chalkboard frame an used it as house address
Poted sedum in an unused chair
A thrift store table for $3.00 was used to hold additional plants
a wrought iron candle holder becomes a plant holer
and last but not least - friendly welcome mat
