The weather has been teasing us this week. It’s trying to act like it’s spring, but I know winter is just going to come back and give us a slap alongside the head before long. I’m not done with you yet!
But it is getting me in the mood to get a little spring decorating done around the house.
This is a little vignette I made for the front porch. It has a rustic, farmhouse, just-using-whatever-the-heck-I-had-in-the-garage type of theme.
Or I guess you could call it my farmhouse spring porch decor. If you want to get all fancy.
And actually this isn’t the whole porch “reveal”. I’ll save that for later in the month when I actually have more than this two by three foot section of the porch done.
It’s times like these when I’m happy that I never put away the bunny from last spring.
Sure, I was cussing at the poor thing in November when I was tripping over it in the garage trying to get to the snow shovel. But all is good with Mr. Bunny and me now.
And the best part is, it took me all of ten minutes to make this whole vignette.
I know! You’re shocked, right!
Oops, forgot to clean off the table. Maybe ten minutes was too quick after all.
I has used the green table on my Traditional Christmas Porch and before that it was painted yellow for my Fall Farmhouse Porch.
I was THIS close to getting rid of that table last summer, but I’m glad I kept it around a little bit longer.
I decided to just set my forsythia wreath in a bucket instead of hanging it on the door like a normal person would do.
Last year it kept blowing down and the fake forsythia branches ended up strewn all over the yard.
I figure this way it doesn’t have far to fall and if branches do pop off, maybe they’ll just end up all tidy-like in the bucket (in my dreams).
How’s your spring decor coming along?
Looks very inviting already! 🙂
Thanks Stacy! I always try to dress up the porch for the UPS man 🙂 He’s about the only one who ever gets to see it in person!
I like it!! Still too cold to put anything out yet, but I’ve been collecting and reinventing some things!
I know! I’d love to put some pansies out, but I think we’re still in for some snow around here. I’m trying to be patient 🙂
We have to keep remembering that it’s only early March! The warmer weather here in eastern PA that is SO early is a real tease! Yes, patience!!
I am at EPIC FAIL right now. I managed to remove the Xmas lights, but the Xmas wreath, vintage sled, snow gauge, flag and lanterns with ornaments are all still on my front entryway. Shame on me… daffodils are coming up, for Pete’s sake! I promise I will get around to it in the beginning of April 🙂
That’s ok, I just took down the Christmas greenery that was on my deer head yesterday. It’s been there so long that I just thought it looked normal.
I love everything about this, Pam….wish I could just move it right onto my porch! I still have an evergreen tree on mine (at least it isn’t decorated…hey maybe I should hang eggs on it)
My spring decorating is getting there…one little area at a time…
And then you could hang flags on it for the 4th of July!!!
Ah ha ha!
Not, is how mine is coming. I’m too busy trying to figure out the rest of the kitchen. I hope I make it around to a little Easter decoration at some point. Oh, and if it’s outside, it’s “supposed” to have a little dirt. Hence the word, outside. Is there any way you can make this font bigger? Geez, I love ya, Pam, but I can’t hardly even see it! I feel like I’m having an eye test and this is the smallest row.
Pam, your ‘grab and throw’ technique is wonderful! My front door is naked right now. Usually don’t get through March here without a March Madness snow storm. Still, have started putting out some Easter decorations in the yard, we’ll see if they stay put.
Simple and lovely! 🙂
Love it!!!!! Anything looks great in an old bucket or tub!!!`
Baby steps…
I had to take a wreath down outside because the birds decided
it make a great base for their nest.
Looks great.
M : )
Your porch looks great and you gave me an idea! Last fall I painted a little step ladder green. Its about 5 feet tall and would look fantastic with a forsythia wreath hanging on it. That would make a nice simple statement!
Oh, great idea Judy!
You had me at galvanized bucket . . . . it’s cute and country!!!
OMG! Do not get rid of that adorable little table! It’s just perfect for holding a spring (or whatever season) welcome grouping. Green and yellow just say spring to me. I have done absolutely nothing as far as spring decorating. I finally got hit with the respiratory bug that EVERYBODY around me has been spreading. Cover your mouths people! :o) Enjoy your early teaser spring before you get smacked upside the head, Pam.
Hope you’re feeling better soon! I took my son to three different doctors appointments this week and I swear I picked something up somewhere along the way. I’m still in the crossing my fingers and drinking orange juice stage 🙂
If you ever sell that green table at a garage sale…I would drive from Mi to buy it!
I’ll let you know if I do 🙂 I’ll keep it there for spring at least and then who knows, I only have so much room to store stuff!
