SIMPLE TWEEKS TO MY FRONT PORCH

 

Welcome TLB friends,

Ever since I decorated my front porch a few weeks ago I've kind of felt like it was missing something. As hubby and I walked through our subdivision we saw soooo many topiary trees on porches. I just felt like I was ready for something different on our porch.

Years ago at our Princeton, Dallas and Houston homes, I used Boston ferns on our porch. I LOVE these ferns and their soft flowy leaves. So we went to Lowe's and there I found two beautiful Boston ferns. My hubby had just sprayed my urns black for me. Yes, they were the "same urns" I've used in years past at those homes as well. Ferns are great for any size porch and add a soft flowy touch.

I also purchased a 1" roll of MacKenzie and Childs Courtly Check ribbon and made a bow for the wreath and tied ribbon on each Pottery Barn lantern. These simple additions "in my mind" added the "icing on the cake" so to speak!

I hope you enjoyed the blog today! See you next week!

IT'S A NEW DAY!

Good Morning Monday!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We spent ours in Fort Myers and were finally able to relax for a few days. Thankfully Hurricane Erika dissipated before it hit our area.

I just had to share a remarkable photo with you.....as our plane back to Dallas was beginning its approach to land, the evening sunset in the clouds was simply gorgeous with color. I have never seen anything quite this simply beautiful...........

Wishing you a wonderful week!

GOODBYE NEW JERSEY

It's been a busy Spring for our family! The vacation home renovations are not all that we've been working on.
