We chose our house style because it has a double porch in the front. Is there anything better than a big porch on a hot summer day or a crisp fall afternoon? Our upper porch comes right off of our master bedroom. It’s lovely.
We LOVE our porch. And I always get thinking about ways to decorate it around this time of year because fall decor is so much fun!
I’ve had dreams of decking it out with pumpkins and mums and creepy crawly spider things. So far we’ve kept it simple though.
I love working on our porch, sitting on our upper porch in the evening reading the kids a book before bed or enjoying a few minutes alone after they are fast asleep.
Who knew a porch could bring such peace and joy. It’s a calm place to sit when it’s raining out.
And I enjoy the buzz of children and school buses at about 3:30 everyday. Or the smell of grills and fire pits at dinner time.
I love taking first day of school photos here and Halloween photos too.
I use our porch and bright yellow door to greet guests at our parties and for play dates.
I’m just feeling really grateful for this peaceful space that greets us each day.
Do you have a porch? Do you love it? We rarely see neighbors using their porches, but we sure do love ours.
Love the porch living! What paint colours did you use for your house and door? This is exactly what I have envisioned for our fixer upper :)
Hi Kandyce! Thank you! The door is Sherwin Williams June Day. I love it. The house, I’m not so sure. It was one of the few grey siding options we had. If I were to do it again, I’d go a touch darker. Check out the warm greys that Sherwin Williams offers. I’ve used several inside our home and I think they would look amazing on the exterior as well.
Cheers!
Thanks!!!! I like the idea of asl smidge bit darker too!
I LOVE your porches. And who wouldn’t love walking up to the bright, fun June Day door? I’d LOVE decorating the nice wide steps. Can’t wait to see what more you come up with!
