I wanted to do a little something different with my porch this spring.
Shake it up a bit.
Truth be told (and why in the heck wouldn't I tell the truth) I don't normally decorate the porch for spring per se.
I'm normally a summer, fall and winter porch decorator. Or would that be porch-orator?
I mean, this is Ohio. Spring is sort of fleeting and sketchy. It's unpredictable.
But with the crummy winter weather we along with most of the country had, I was itching to get some color on the porch.
And what's more colorful than a bright yellow, all up in your face, spring has sprung, table!
And a vintage metal picnic basket full of pansies.
I hung my cabinet door that I had painted with green chalk paint on the wall.
And added a thrifted tray for added interest. At least I hope it adds interest?
I had made these pillow coverings a few weeks ago and sort of forgot to measure the pillows before I started sewing.
I know. That is a pretty obvious step to overlook.
So they are a little baggier than I would like, but the chances of me actually re-sewing them are slim to none. Hopefully baggy pillows will be the new "in" look this year.
P.S. - look what finally made an appearance in my yard this year. I have neighbors down the street that have had their daffs up for weeks. Not sure what's wrong with these slackers.
Do you have your porch decorated for spring? Or do you wait for summer? Or do you just throw a wreath on the door and call it a day?

So adorable! Since we moved to Ohio, I have a bigger porch now and I love to decorate it, too. I love your picnic basket - so cute! Love the tole tray on the green cabinet door. I have the same forsythia wreath on my front door. Enjoy this beautiful weather - Happy Easter!

Love the yellow pansies and the green door! I have the exact same tray - it was my Nan's.
Happy Easter!

Just LOVELY! The tray is a very clever idea, and YES...it adds interest! As far as the pillows go, if you are still concerned about them swimming in their fabric, you can always use some coordinating embroidery floss and do a running stitch about 1/2" or 1" in from the edge all the way around. Would look like it was meant to be!
Blessings!

How did you waterproof the metal picnic basket/planter, so it doesn't rust?

The yellow table is pretty dang spring like. I love the green door. It looks like metal to me-well done. I do not decorate for spring much. I just plant copious amounts of flowers everywhere. xo, olive

Your porch looks lovely. Like the bunnies. And that tray with flowers is sweet.
