Upping the Curb Appeal


Our porch is finally ready for guests, swinging and lounging. You may have noticed a few things we upgraded before we finished our landscaping. We painted our porch, upgraded our storm door and…


added a porch swing. The porch swing was actually a birthday present for my husband last year. I got it from Hayneedle. Unfortunately when I looked recently they didn’t have the same one available.


The patio furniture is from Craigslist. I purchased an entire set including the two chairs for $200. I just spray painted the chairs black to match the porch swing. I plan on listing the loveseat and ottoman on craigslist since we don’t have any use for it.




I also bought new cushions for the patio chairs. I had been looking since March for cushions and had a hard time finding ones that were the correct size and not expensive. Luckily I checked the Lowe’s website a few weeks ago and found these.


We also made a few other small changes like spray painting the lighting fixtures,



adding visible address numbers, and adding some pretty flowers.





I think our house is finally starting to look like a home on the outside! I still want to add some black shutters but I will save that for the fall or next spring.
