Front Porch Finished!

A while back, I was planning on a Front Porch Make-over. Here is one of the "before" shots


I was thinking of white cushions that I spoke about here. Well, truth be told....the white did not work out for me. The first set of cushions I made were too small. Tip, outdoor foam does not react the same as pillow forms (I like to sew my pillows an inch smaller all the way around, so they have that "poooff"). When I went to buy more outdoor fabric, white was gone. So, here is the "after"

A "Happy Accident", they are turquoise.


I also told you about my outdoor rug I bought on-line. If you remember, it arrived like this. So, to get it to lay flat, I did this

put it on a hot driveway, and before long, it looked like this

nice and FLAT! Here are a few more pictures of my porch




and my window boxes

onto the next........
