2023 Spring Back Porch

Styling my back porch for spring involved creating a new look in the furniture arrangement and a trip to the nursery. 

At the nursery,  I picked up a Boston fern for each side of the mantel and a gorgeous pot of flowers for the coffee table.

 

Here is a photo of last years spring back porch.....the most noticeable difference is the removal of the dining table and chairs.    We moved the table and chairs to a location that is much closer to the grill for easier serving options....  pictures will be  coming soon in an upcoming post.      I've never liked to put a table and chairs on a rug outside.....they don't seem to last very long with frequent movement of  chairs back and forth on the rug at the table.    I feel much more comfortable with just a coffee table on the rug!

Another change to the porch is the gate I am now using a fireplace screen for my faux fireplace   

 

 Does anyone else still have out Easter decor?    I have a few Easter pillows and other decor still out!

Before,   I had wicker side tables on each side of the fireplace that matched the white settee's on the porch.     I had these sweet vintage tables in another area and thought they would bring a fresh look to the porch.    A  coat of white outdoor paint and they are ready to be used outdoors.    

   

 

 
The theme for our back porch this year is Bee kind,  gnomes,   and lemons    The sun room is decorated in a lemon theme so it was only fitting that I added a couple of lemon accessories to the back porch.   Here's a link to the sunroom post if you would like to see how it looks.....http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2023/02/relaxing-in-sunroom-on-bright-sunny.html

I haven't posted in about a month.....and am glad to be back!
