Pink, Purple And The Front Porch
Front Porch Sitting
I just love a front porch. In fact I love all porches period. Since, I was a young girl, there has never been a better place for wiling away a summer afternoon. Friends, family and ice tea while swinging in the front porch swing. Or you could simply rock your troubles away in front porch rocking chairs. Fortunately, I am blessed to have two front porches. And the upstairs one recently got a facelift.
My View From Up In The Trees
While sitting high on the second story porch and listening to the cool breezes passing through the trees, I find my place of peace and tranquility. Essentially, it’s the perfect spot for a simple Sunday afternoon.
Not only is the upstairs porch my special haven, but it also serves as a private retreat for houseguests. The spa colors are perfect for creating a vacation like atmosphere for visiting guests.
Recently, on a visit to my local Pier1, I happened upon a close-out sale on these scrumptious spa print cushions. No hesiation whatsoever. Unfortunately, the all to friendly squirrels from the trees had made themselves at home trying to bury nuts in the old cushions last fall. And so they were way over due for a change.

I would love to have a front porch! Honestly any kind of outdoor space I can enjoy I am a fan of! Yours looks absolutely amazing!
Thanks Laura, I truly love being outdoors and am really enjoy any chance I get to squeeze in some porch time.
Your front porch is so beautiful and inviting Rosemary. Perfect for Summer. I love the teal, white and aqua that you used.
Welcome by tomorrow and join my linkup. =)
Hi Ada,
The teal really did work out well. And the bonus was finding it on summer clearance. Thanks for the link-up and stopping by today.
How lovely to have that space in the summer months!
Thanks for linking up!
thanks Tamar,
it truly is a blessing!
What a beautiful and peaceful sanctuary! 🙂 So very pretty.
thanks…it’s a very special spot for me.
There’s no spot as relaxing as a beautiful porch! If anyone ever put me up in a guest room with an upstairs porch (and an en suite bathroom), I might never leave! 😀
