My Garden Visits -- Front Porch Reveal

I couldn't wait to bring a little Spring to my front porch.

The new additions this year are these two white rockers from my Ethan "Alley" Collection.

They didn't always look like this.

I actually found them sitting in the alley waiting for the garbage pickup. 

They were structurally sound but . . .

the finish was in pretty sad shape.

It took a lot of scraping and sanding.

And a lot of painting. 

I've seen these chairs in lots of different colors but I prefer a crisp white. 

At least I didn't have to worry about getting white paint on the dog. 

One down, one to go.

All done!

I had the sewing machine stand stashed behind my shed
and the outdoor rug rolled up under the daybed.

Last year's pillows came from Pottery Barn. 

Finally, I painted the tray and lantern white to match the chairs. 

The little photo bomber approves. 

At the other end of the porch is a little vignette featuring a salesman's bed sample I painted white
with some rubber boots and a galvanized bucket of blooms.

These are the most comfortable chairs ever.

The porch faces east, a perfect place to have a hot cup of coffee, feel the sun's warmth,

and watch the world wake up.
