Front Porch Inspiration: Before & After

Since it's #MyFrontPorchFriday over on instagram, I thought I'd share a few before and after photos of our current porch situation. I'm trying to figure out how to change it up for fall, but below you'll find a photo roundup of everything we've done in the past year. So many ideas, so little time/money.

Before:

As you can see, our aesthetic was Thrift Store Crack Den, which is super inviting for all guests and passersby.

After: Fall 2016

This was the first update I completed, which is basically me spending $120 at Michael's, making Josie pose for added visuals, and calling it a day.I found this chair at a local thrift store for $10 and took 2 cans of white spray paint to it for a little facelift:

Finished Porch:

The wreath, metal letter & fake flowers I used for decorating are from Michael's. Everything else is linked below:

White pumpkins // pillow inserts and cover // doormat //wooden crate // copper wreath hanger 

Summer 2017:

Since last fall I've added a few pieces of furniture and lots of soft colors, greenery, and porch drapes because privacy. The curtains I found on amazon & everything else is linked below. Here is our current design situation:

mailbox // mason jars // loveseat: similar // chairs: similar // rug: similar
