Jessica's Front Porch

This is what my sisters front porch now looks like, the "before" was practical, but just not very welcoming, other than her "welcome" mat at the front door. Jess was going to list this dresser for free on craigslist, but I talked her into using it on her covered porch instead. She said she'd try it. Well when she left to run errands....I did it for her. All of this was sitting on her porch in differant places, so I just placed the old window at the back of the dreser, grouped 3 pots of flowers on one end, and a 4th at the other end, I told her to add an old lantern and she placed it next to the 4th pot of flowers, a butterfly net leaning on the window adds a bit of fun and whimsy, and the wreath above fills an empty space, and seems to draw your eye up. The drawers can be used for outdoor toys, bug spray, sun lotion, pretty much anything that should be on the porch, but that just adds clutter. She is very happy with the outcome, and since she already owned all of this, it cost her nothing, yet it looks great! This took like 30 minutes to accomplish. So now...go re-arrange n re-think your own front porch! :) If your space looks pleasing to you, you are more likeky to keep it this way.
