I have taken a pretty big interest in plants and sprucing up my back and front porches this spring season. Yard work and plants are a love/hate relationship with me. Plants make everything look esthetically pleasing to the eye; however, I do not have a green thumb . . . trying to get there. I really dislike mowing the yard too but I love to edge! I know, it’s crazy! Here is what I have been working on.
THE BACK PORCH
I have to have pillows. I am one of those crazy pillow people!
I found this bench in Round Top for a steal and then I made the bench pad & pillows.
I have two single chairs that I found at Sam’s last year.
I am debating on rather or not I should get more of these planters.
I think I want one for the front porch railing too!
THE FRONT PORCH
Clean, simple with a touch of jazzyness . . . Totally my personality.
I had several small flower pots out front but I wasn’t feeling it with them. I really feel like this planter gives me that statement that I am looking for with out looking cluttered. I actually grew those caladiums from bulbs and the azaleas (I think that is what they are.) in front are from seeds! I am so proud of myself.

I am very jealous of your bench and pillows in particular. LOVE the fabric you used!! I would love it if you would link this up to my Marvelous Mess party. Each week I pick one project to feature on my sidebar for a week!! Here is the link: http://marvelouslymessy.blogspot.com/2011/05/marvelous-mess-12.html
What a great spruce up! Well, minus the Texas gnome. If he was a Gator, he'd be a whole lot cuter!!
Hope your'e doing well!
It's easy to see you love working and being outdoors. All your porch things are lovely, but I really like that big pot of flowers in the last picture!
You've really found some great items on sale - I'm jealous for your bench :) The pillows are so gorgeous! You're doing good with the green thumb thing, I also suffer but like you, I'm trying. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love it! I did some vinyl on pots for teachers and want to try it on mine. Jealous of your cement...I am a bit tired of scraping and repainting:) Your pillows are fabulous, that is what I have left to do. Thanks again!
Love those pillows! Great job!
I love your new pillows! I hope you enjoy your outdoor space this summer and good luck with the plants :)
The yard's lookin' really good! Oh, and I love the HOWDY planter!
