I also hung up a Lantern with rope on my front arch.
I also bought some new outdoor pillows at World Market to freshen things up for the Spring-Summer, here is their link http://www.worldmarket.com/
It's nice to freshen things up
especially when it's all clean after pressure washing
I also got some new flowers, the spring tulips and daffodils were all done blooming and got put in the dirt for next year
These potatoe/onion baskets are too large for my pantry, so I found a new use for them
Here is the front door
Many of you have already seen these old shoe parking crates from a previous post, sorry for the repeat
And I saved the best picture for last....here is our Newfoundland Bruce taking a snooze with his buddy Bugsy this afternoon....zzzzzzzzzzzz
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Peeps

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh I soooo love it. Love the simplistic touches. What did you do as far as a wreath on your front door...I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteLove the potato & onion baskets for flowers...how smart! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love your front porch area! I forgot to take my candles out of my lanterns when we were done using them last summer and with the 100+ degree temps in Michigan they melted!!
ReplyDeleteLove your front porch especially the bench and those crates. I am already following you but have nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. You can find more info at http://eclecticredbarn.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-liebster-award.html#more

DeleteI love it! You have given me several great ideas to use on my porch as soon as I can wash the pollen away. I love the shoe crate, it's so cute. My most favorite idea is the flowers in the lanterns though. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks soooo much for your sweet comment and following me!!! I am thilled!
DeleteLooks amazing and so inviting! I really like the idea of adding potted flowers to the large lanterns. May have to copy that idea! Adore your little bench -- looks very similar to the one The Man just made for our front porch.

DeleteI love that last pic! Do you ever have to worry about your dog chasing after the rabbit? My dog would go nuts with one running around the house! Looks like they are best buddies though. Your outdoor entry area looks so nice and tidy! I love your new pillows and the lantern you hung. That's a great way to add some style to your home exterior. The potato baskets are so charming. I never would've thought to put flowers in them. Great idea!

I have additionally this related website.
You have a gorgeous garden but sometimes you look at it and feel that something is missing. There is something that you just can't put your finger on.
