Pam's Patriotic Porch

Today I'm sharing my daughter, Pam's, front porch decked out for the summer months.

She recently had her entire house painted, and shopped her basement to decorate the front porch.

When she first built her home in early 2001, she had decorated my grandson's room in patriotic colors, and had long ago stored those items in the basement when she changed his room to a UGA, Georgia Bulldogs decor theme.

I think she has done a fabulous job with this, and only bought new cushions for the chairs from Cracker Barrel.

I made this wreath for her door, and bought these supplies from Michael's. She already had the flag. She tweaked it by making a knot in the flag to shorten it some. It looks much better since she did that.

Pam made the sign, and painted the galvanized tub. The paint color is Benjamin Moore, Raspberry Trufle. She has used this color as an accent color throughout her house. I'll share the updates in a post soon. The table is a consignment shop find, and she already had the candleholder.

She already had all these pieces. She painted the stool in Raspberry Trufle as well.

Here is a shot showing the front side of the porch. There is an L that I didn't photograph. Notice another red table between the rockers.

I think she created major curb appeal with this décor, and it will look great throughout the summer month.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it. The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little. It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it! I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before. So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00. I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway. First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase. I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project. I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow. First, I found an old pillow I no longer use. I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it. I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers. I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night. The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion. I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
