Sprucing up the Front Porch....

My dream porch consists of a HUGE wrap around porch with rocking chairs, hammocks, a breakfast table and lots of room for the kids to run around. But for now, my teeny tiny porch will have to do. 

I  did some yard work in the front yard: planting new flowers, weeding and spreading new mulch. The porch needed a facelift to. I cleaned the window and door & knocked down all the cob webs. 

I got my furniture out of the shed and set it up. 

Here is the before:

The After:

I can't wait until my hydrangeas bloom this summer!

Along the side of the house I have my gladiolus and Liatris bulbs :

I put up this trellis and planted a climbing clematis on the side, to provide some privacy and shade. 

 I love having a bistro table on the porch, the kids can bike around the sidewalk and play in the driveway while we sit and have some sweet tea :)

Have you spruced up your porch yet?
