Spring on the Porch

I finally finished the last Spring project for the front porch so I thought you might like to see what I have done out there.
  

 You may remember when I posted about picking up two white rockers for our front porch and how it looked then.  Just a plain porch with lots of potential.

I moved the Spring Wreath I just made to the windows to showcase it as our front door is actually recessed and hard to see.  I love how it brings in more color and puts a finishing touch on this seating area.

The little birdbath that sits between the chairs was a gift from our oldest grandson many years ago.  I love the beauty of this piece with all its mosaic work.  I used it as an end table in our living room for several years before it was relegated to the porch. I decided to add a small terracotta bunny I gave a coat of grey paint to and a little double galvanized bucket to the top.

 In front of the bird bath is the sun loving container pot  I put together last week and my carved wood rabbit.  The rabbit just received a new coat of paint also.

I placed a black urn that I upcycled on each side of the porch and then placed a Boston fern in each one. I have always loved how beautiful these plants are and how pretty they look on summer porches.

This little guy greets all guests as they come up the sidewalk.  He was one of those plain garden statues that I decided to paint up a bit.  I think he is so cute smiling at everyone as they approach.  Just a few simple little projects brought this bland front porch to life. 

We love spending our Spring mornings out here drinking coffee and watching all the construction and hubbub in the neighborhood. Then in the afternoons we have all the neighborhood walkers and kids riding bikes. In the evenings we are entertained by the geese and ducks returning to the lake across the street.  Always something to watch and now a beautiful place to sit and enjoy it. Grab your drink of choice and come join us one day.  I promise you'll be entertained.

How are your Spring projects going?  We still have a lot of landscaping and transplanting to do in the back yard and tweaking on the screen porch but each day we get closer to done. Hopefully the nice Spring temps and weather continue and summer doesn't start too soon.
