| This is the view of the back porch from the greenhouse. |
 |
| H repurposed an old four poster bed to make the sides of the new porch. The bed was an auction purchase...$25 |
 |
| Some of the wood on the old porch had rotted places so he removed the entire porch..... |
 |
| H cut the head board in half and used the pieces on the first level.......the foot board is the second level. |
 |
| You last saw this head/foot board stored in the studio til he was ready to start the project. |
 |
| Another recycled piece is the large rural mail box to the side of the porch that we use to store garden tools. A short metal ladder has been repurposed to be a stand for the mailbox. (You can see the reflection of the green house in the French door.) |
 |
| I showed you the mailbox in a previous post.....it came from the auction...$12.50 |
 |
| Look close and you can see Allie, our white cat, sitting in that spot of dirt to the left of the tree. She has laid there in the sun so much that the grass is all gone! |
 |
| The white wicker set is only there temporarily as I have wild flowers planted in that bed. If you look close under the settee, you can see them starting to come up. |
 |
| I also have wild flowers planted in the bed behind Allie, so the chair and ladder are only there temporarily too. |
 |
| We are still bringing the plants into the green house every night....it got down in the 30's last night...and will be in the 70's today. The weather is just crazy this year! |

Penny, what a lovely home you have. The front is so inviting. How smart to use the bed for your railings. It looks great. Nice to see your kitty have fun in the sun. All of your flowers look great. You must have a green thumb.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,

I am in awe! That entrance is perfect Penny and absolutely beautiful! Love the pale pink and all of your lovely flowers just make it all that much prettier! Love those black scrolly pieces too! You inspire me!
ReplyDeleteOK, now I know how the fencing was made.... how creative is that! I love how it looks and never seen anything like that before. It's my favorite thing along with everything else. Just a beautiful, stunning transformation!! It really takes a wonderful vision to do this and you both did an incredible job. I am definitely keeping this for one for inspiration... I love it so.
ReplyDeleteYour hubby is such a sweet and generous man with you Penny! He did a marvelous job ad a very unique idea too...I love the fence and in pink it's perfect for you! My hubby might make something, but he won't paint it pink, I know! Great job!!!

This is so pretty!! I just want to curl up on your wicker chair and stay there, sipping my tea. I have to say that you use the perfect shade of pink - it is glorious! Not too dark but not too pale either. Would you mind sharing the type of paint you use and the color. Beautiful flowers also! Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteHi, of course I don't mind sharing! The paint is from Lowes....Utterly Pink...Valspar. Sometimes I use a little darker paint called Hello Dolly from Lowes also. Have a great day...hugs, Penny
DeleteWhat a clever use of the bed. I know you will enjoy your porch this spring and summer.

ReplyDeleteWhat a talented and patient husband you have! Love the idea of using a bed for porch railings. I'm envious of your pretty yard and flowers. It is still too cold here...but it sounds like it is there too! We haven't had weather above the 50's yet and every night it is freezing or close to it. Sigh...will spring ever come here? Thank you for sharing this and your lovely trip at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. Have a great weekend!

Penny, I wish 'H' lived at my house. I'd never run out of jobs for him to do and he is so clever. What a fantastic re-purpose of the bedhead and end. He definitely thinks outside the box! Love it all.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on your porch Penny. I love all of the pink!
