This week I want to show you how you can easily freshen up your front porch to be welcoming & bright with odds and ends around your house or with a small budget.

Here I chose a rustic, light, and airy decor theme to blend with the current landscape of the area.

The goal: low cost, no maintenance (watering plants etc.), and easy to change for every season.  A bit of creative recycling and repurposing will crucial to this update.

​A fresh coat of beige/tan paint on the door, brightens and lightens the brick wall.

Spring is tree trimming time, we salvaged several large pieces of birch tree logs and cut them in a trio of sizes.  I recycled a couple of old pine Christmas trees, spruced them up a bit and drilled holes in the logs to hold the artificial pine trees.  To ensure stability in the wind, and a decorative finish, I used old rope to tie the three logs together.

The door wreath: A fun and memorable project.  We recycled scrap wood to create a square frame, cut letter C, stained them  and applied a white wash technique to give them that old barn board look.   Lastly, I repurposed silk flowers from a recent wedding, made geometric shapes out of straws to add a bit of modern to the swag and was a key theme in the wedding.  Repurposing these items from the wedding really gives this home a very special welcome to all who enter.

I welcome the opportunity to work with you to update or makeover your porch into a welcoming version of your style and personality.
