My Front Porch on Valentine's Day


I shared my heart wreath the other day.


So I thought I would show you the other end of my front porch.


I brought out my red cushions and ticking pillows.


Added my new "welcome and bienvenue" pillow covers.


I wasn't too sure what to do with the table.


I dug around my craft closet and came up with 
this lavender bunch and tied it with the 
same burlap ribbon that's on my wreath.


Not a big change.
Sort of a late winter look.


Of course I had my assistant helping me.
She was nice enough to pose complete
with the snow on her beard.


I just added this pillow cover set to my Etsy shop.
I'm trying to get more items listed. I have high hopes for my 3 day weekend coming up!


And last but most importantly,
wishing everyone a...

Lovely front porch. I love anything done with ticking. We are still having freezing rain and snow here. We have had the sun shine for 3 whole days in a row, that is very unusual.
Great valentines space.

Love your front verandah and I agree with your sentiments about DIY. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos.

Alison @ The Polohouse said...

Oh my heavens, Ann!
Beautiful!

If there is one thing that has really impressed me in this blogging land, is that I did not realize how nice your weather must be in the south.... pretty much all year long!

I was born and raised in a four season lifestyle in PA -- as a child, and now Illinois as an adult.

Each time I see these photos of your porches all dressed up with sweet pillows and fresh GREEN plants and I cannot understand why I live in a winter zone!!

Your porch looks amazing and as I sit here in on an icy cold evening, I appreciate your pictures that take me away to warmer days more than most!

Thanks for sharing.
