Neutral Spring Porch

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!

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
