Patriotic Porch For Independence Day

We love sitting on our front porch in the evening after dinner. The porch gets morning sun, so it's not too warm in the afternoon.

My Favorite Outdoor Space 2011

So glad you stopped by to see my favorite outdoor space. Every year my front porch, patio in the woods, deck and our lower level porch/patio need sprucing up, even if it's just adding some seasonal flowers. This year, along with planting a few flowers, I repainted a few pots, painted the little blue table top, added a drop cloth curtain, added some candles and hung this candle chandelier. The whole project cost less than $25 because I already had most of the supplies.

I already showed you the little blue table a few days ago...

Yesterday... the drop cloth curtain...

Here's what the whole patio looks like

In the evening, it's really wonderful to sit and watch the fireflies and listen to the frogs down by the creek.

You can't tell by the photo, but we have a couple of strings of lights above on the deck and along with the candles. They give just the right amount of light. I had to turn on one of the outside lights so the photo wouldn't be too dark.

 While we're on the subject of my favorite outdoor space... I plan to show you how I make this space feel a little more cozy by adding a few vintage pieces. 

Hope you'll come back to see it!
