I have a small little porch near my front door and last Mother’s Day I got a cute table with four chairs. They already had the perfect natural patina. Even with the table and chairs the porch still looked bad. This is what it looked like…. its a really really bad picture but you get the idea.
It just amazes me what a difference it makes.
I used some simple burlap curtains with some ruffled polka dot trim, which I used normal cotton fabric from Joanns. It was not soft 100% cotton it was a little more stiff which was perfect because the ruffles held up good.
I got the flowers at Home Depot and the the box was a $5 thrift store find.
In AZ, there are a few people that do random home decor sales and I got the flower tower from them and the “k” sign I got from them as well!
My little porch redo has made me soooooo happy and my neighbors love it too!
What do you think? Am I totally crazy for putting curtains outside!?!?
