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.

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale.   Consignmen

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
