Spring Front Porch

Hi friends! We sure have been enjoying the beautiful spring weather lately. These 70 degree days and sunny temperatures sure are dreamy. I love seeing all the flowers in full bloom and our pups are especially loving their extra long walks!

Our hydrangeas are in full bloom and have our front porch looking so full! I love our little front porch this time of year because all the blooms make it such a welcoming space. I absolutely love big southern wraparound porches complete with a swing and a couple of rocking chairs! However, our little porch has limited space, so I try to use every inch that we have :) Come on in and take a little tour of our spring/summer front porch!



I found this wreath at Michaels on clearance a couple of months ago and added the burlap bow to top if off :)




Would you believe the silver plant stand was an old metal ash tray that I thoroughly cleaned, spray painted, and distressed!












The black and white planters are from Ross. Definitely one of my favorite places to find bargain-priced planters and pots. Both black and white zebra pots were under under $12 total!



Love, love, love these hydrangea blooms! I wish they could stay in bloom all year :) The front porch is a good home for them because they receive warm morning light and shade in the afternoon/evening.





I use these white lanterns for just about everything. We originally purchased them for our wedding, and have since used them for countless centerpieces, vignettes, showers, and decor! This spring, five lanterns line the sidewalk leading up to the front door :)







Thanks for stopping by! How do you decorate your front porch for spring and summer?


keep in touch!

  1. Your porch is gorgeous! I think I have that same lantern with the candle in it. I recently had my hubby cut the lantern off the stand. I now have the lantern sitting by my fireplace. :) I love the zebra pot too. I'll have to check my Ross to see if they have any.

    1. Thank you Lisa! I did notice your lantern and LOVE your idea to cut off the stand and just use the lantern portion! I just may have to try that :)

    1. Thank you so much Jacqueline! :) I really appreciate that because we are so limited on door colors because of our HOA. I love the dark grey color too!
