Like I have said before, you know we love a porch. It's a part of our below the Mason Dixon chemical makeup. Genetics.
So of course I was thrilled when one of my clients asked me to give her porch some much needed love.
I truly started with a blank slate…
Shopping included hitting all my faves for outdoor pillows and accessories.
Layer 1: I added an outdoor natural stripe rug (Home goods), a metal stool (TJ Maxx), and pillows (Pottery Barn & Pier 1) This is where so many people stop BUT treat the space like a room and accessorize !
Layer 2: A Turkish towel (HG) makes for the perfect blanket when the nights turn chilly! (IF EVER) The cream tray was a whopping $7.99 (TJ's) and breaks up the monotony of the wood. 2 lanterns are better then 1 (HG) … I like to buy lanterns in pairs simply because they are easier to use as a pair down the road if you switch things up.
A real live plant is always the perfect accessory.
For a few stops around town and a vision I think the porch is welcoming, comfortable and just what the client was looking for! Remember when you are doing outdoor spaces, it is nice to keep the colors and style seamless with what is happening on the inside. This porch reads simple, natural and warm and is very cohesive with the style of the house.
Want your own eclectic outdoor space ready for fall?
Here are a few steals and must haves…
This teak colored set is less then $500 here.
Yes Pottery Barn Indoor/ Outdoor Kilm! …not on sale (boohoo) but still…
Toss in some pillows…
A Turkish throw (FYI - my new favorite thing in the whole wide world)…
And voila you have layer 1 complete! Now go accessorize or call us to do it for you.
Happy porch living!
