Neutral Spring Porch

Sharing is caring!

I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen or not with everything going on, but I was able to pull off our spring porch and I’m loving it this year! Decorating our porch is one of my favorite things to do, especially after the dead of winter when it’s been looking pretty blah for the past few months. I went with a really similar look to our classic spring porch from last year, but changed out the rugs and made it feel a tad more boho, modern? Alright, whatever the style is, here is our neutral spring porch this year.

It was a few years ago now that I realized a 5X7 rug fits perfectly on our front porch and I haven’t turned back since! Having the base rug down really sets the look for the porch and then I build off of it.

Layered Porch Rugs

I went with this new boho style rug from Target this year (I don’t think this is the exact one I used, I can’t seem to find the one just bought on here! It must be sold out already). It’s a fun look for spring and summer and different than the more classic one that was on here before.

Then I added my fav thick welcome mat that will stand the test of time.

Front Porch Planters

I have had these black planters for so many years that I wonder if I should change them out by now. Are you tired of seeing them yet? But I still love them. I did give them a new coat of black matte spray paint this year though, I felt like they needed a little pick me up.

I added these simple tall grasses to each pot. These are the Grasses. They say that they require full sunlight, the porch get a good amount in the morning and afternoon but not full, so we will see how this goes!

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I had a few requests for more pics of this space recently, so you can swipe through to see more and the before pic. We use this space so much (even the kids set up courses in here), and we have plans to finish more of the garage space this year. You can view more details on the blog by searching “home gym”.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
