Creating a Cottage Porch

 
This week I've started getting our front porch ready for Spring in spite of the rainy, gloomy weather we've been having.  Yesterday I bought two wicker chairs at Walmart (great price!) and some pretty floral cushions and put a small wooden antique table between them with a little palm in a red pot.  It looks nice!  Mr. Wonderful likes it too but asked me an interesting question last evening.  "Can you hang things on the wall on the porch?"   I had never really given that a thought but now it's stuck in my head, of course.  :)  So I Googled it and found several different ideas.


Porch Rules.....I like this!  Found this one on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Primitive-Shabby-PORCH-Rules-Typograhpy-Word-Art-Subway-Wood-Sign-Wall-Decor-/261150950109


Wrought Iron Medallion....from Etsy....very pretty!  https://www.etsy.com/listing/108824236/large-wrought-iron-wall-decor-metal-wall?ref=market


A window for the front porch....I really like this idea!  And the link gives you instructions although I already have some ideas of my own for this, and just recently saw some old window frames at my favorite antique shop.  :)  http://www.front-porch-ideas-and-more.com/porch-makeover-3.html



....and here are two ideas I found on Pinterest.  Real artwork on the wall on one, and lots of stuff on the wall in the second one....hmmmm!  http://pinterest.com/carolynjjohnson/porch-monkey/

 

Well, lots of good ideas here but I'm really leaning toward the "porch window".  What do you think?
