Before u read this post , i must warn u all that my ADD is outta control lately. Ive been thinking about the back porch an awful lot since spring and time just keeps slippin , slippin, into the future, LOL( I warned u about the ADD), dont cha love that song? Anyway........we are working on the porch, hopefully soon ile be able to post some "after" pics, and a big porch "reveal".......But first let me show u some excerpts from my lil trip to Ballard Designs yesterday...I found some banquette seating on Craigs lil list, so decided to take a look..........
My CL find however is a lil bit longer, which is a good thing, and the price is a whole lot smaller, less than half. Im tickled about this find and will post soon when i get them home..........While i was there, i was simply mezmorized for at least 10 full minutes by this art work, all the while thinking..........."I can make that"...........Im sure the sales lady thought i was a nut..........
Of course with a more "Romantic" spin on it.........Ule have to stay tuned for that one later..........ON to the porch........First we are adding on some to the deck and doing some much needed repairs..
Then we can begin the painting, which i will be doing all myself....
Ive purchased a few sheer linen panels($4 each, thrift store find), so ile be hanging those around the porch area, also making some lanterns from old flower vases(copycat from another blog found while in a clicking frenze, lol)....
It really is quite a large space.
Should anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to hang these around the porch, im all ears................................................
And last , but not least, my 12ft. long rescued from the trash, bench. I havent decided yet wheather to paint it or just seal it..............Guess ule just have to wait and see, LOL. Happy Fathers Day everyone!
The possibilities are endless...................
I know most of u have seen almost all of my humble little home, but i really wanted to join the "Mini Home Tour" over at Poppies at Play. Sorry ive been alittle outta comission lately, ive been sick, but feeling much better now. Im still working on a few projects that i hope to get posted soon. However i have been enjoying all of the posts from my fellow bloggers. Hope u like the pics.
