Welcome to my very first Porch Party! So glad ya stopped by!
I finally finished sprucing up our front porch. It is already for spring! |
This is what I started out with. Nice yes, but it is what I have been doing for the past few years and thus I wanted to change it up a bit. |
In between fighting with the grape vine I pulled this chair out of the dark depths of our garage and gave it a light sanding and stained it a tad darker just to freshen it up a bit. |
Tada! Grapevine wrangled and chair in place. |
I just used the same wreath from the past few years. When it gets closer to the summer I stick a flag in it. I may put a nest in it when I find one large enough. |
I found this pretty vine garland at HomeGoods. It had dogwood flowers ALL over it but it was too much so I pulled most of them off and just left the ones in the center. |
Newly updated corner where the second urn use to sit. |
I had a second letter E from Kirklands since I had purchased them on clearance so I decide to turn it into an F as well and placed it here where our Welcome sign use to hang. |
Now we have a Welcome basket. I purchased it back in November and was just waiting for the right spot to use it. |
Not sure why it took me so long to pull it altogether but I am happy with the way it tuned out! I may eventually add some white lights around the door. |
Hey, I do have a dusty old grapevine I took down from my kitchen my very first week of blogging. I know right where it is-same place I threw it too outside. I could try something like that.

I know how difficult it is work with grapevine. I used it many years ago during the holidays and wondered if there was an easier way to hang it. Your front door area turned out so pretty. I like your chair in the corner. My porch hasn't been touched yet. It's rather plain looking until it warms up more.
ReplyDeleteI love how it all came together! Great job! Thanks for hosting the party. If I can find some pics I will link up. ~Marlee

ReplyDeleteWell wrangling with that grapevine was well worth all the effort as it is spectacular..I am so in love with it..Your porch is so very inviting. I am going to have to copy cat your monogram with the greenery..Lots of monograms on the front porches it seems...
ReplyDeleteBetween you and KariAnne at Thistlewood, you definitely have put that very "personalized" touch to your front porches!...
Thanks for hosting..I enjoyed preparing my porch today for this party and now there are freeze warnings tonight..Yikes!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh wow! Your entry way looks wonderful! I love the grapevine wreath.

ReplyDeleteYour front porch reminds me of our large home when we raised our kids. Made me miss it.
Your porch has so many beautiful details-LOVE it!

Your porch is beautiful! I'm looking forward to seeing all the porches ... I live in a city apartment so I have a long balcony but no porch!! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW Pamela, your front entry looks GREAT! I love the grapevine swag above your door. Thanks for the inspiration! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, Gail
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow....what can I do for mine??? Hmmmm.....
I wish I could play to, but I don't exactly have a front porch ready yet...next time ok?....but I am anxious to see everybody elses. I love the fighting garland around the door and relieved to see that you prevailed!!
ReplyDeleteI will be searchign for front porches to use. It is too cold to do anything in New Jersey my porch is like yours. I wish I could get things ready on my porch but the weather is to cold.
ReplyDeleteYours looks great I love the grapevine around the door and the wreath.
Pamela, yours looks nice for spring. I haven't done a thing to mine yet.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh...my outside is a mess right now. I love what you did with the.porch and I reallllly love that F.
ReplyDeletePamela, Your porch looks beautiful. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so beautiful Pamela!! I just finally took the sled off of my front porch. LOL! I'm hoping the weather will cooperate long enough for me to get some Spring flowers but sadly it won't be in time to join your fun party. Guess I'll just have to drool all over everyone else's lovely porches! :-)
