Mini Back Porch Makeover

H and I spend lots of time relaxing on the back porch. 
   I was sitting out there yesterday and wondered what I could do that day to take my mind off of our currant situation.     I thought to myself ......hmmm.....I'll do a mini makeover on the back porch.    So,  with a lot of help from H.....here's what we accomplished yesterday! 

H hung chippy windows on each side of the fireplace......hung sheer drapes behind each window......replaced the pedestals on each side of the fireplace with rusty milk cans filled with fern plants.....and hung a pink chandelier on each end of the fireplace.
  While he was doing all that,   I hung a window over the mantel......put a new vignette on the mantel.....put a new floral design on the coffee table.....  dug out 2 birdcages from the studio to put on each side of the milk cans and a fireplace screen to place in front of the fireplace.

I thought a new furniture arrangement would be nice......

I moved the settee's from the sides of the fireplace and angled them kind of in front of it.     By doing that it gave me room to bring in more seating......so,  I put a black wrought iron chair on each end of the fireplace.

 

With the fireplace wall on the back porch finished,  the afternoon was only half over,   so we made some changes to the ends of the porch.    H constructed "chicken wire walls"  for me to hang garden flag art on,  farmhouse signs.....whatever I want!   I quickly hung a couple of cow flags on two of the walls,   and still have 2 walls left to decorate another day

The back porch really came to life late in the afternoon when we turned on the lights.....

I have to admit we were both pretty tired at the end of the day.......but it was a good tired!     I hope you are all holding up well in these very stressful times.......Stay home and Stay safe......
