In this tutorial, I’m going to teach you how to hang a porch swing. Porch swings can add a lot of character to a front or back porch, but it’s very important to hang them properly. They should be straight, not leaning to one side or the other, and hung from something that can support the weight.
As much as we don’t want to admit it, we all have one: a drawer somewhere in our kitchen that catches all the small items. Whether it be a hairband, paperclip, pencil, or a dime, we just toss it into the junk drawer.
Since posting my original porch swing bed tutorial, I’ve gotten a lot of requests for a smaller version. Bed swings are large since they are made to fit a twin mattress, and they do take up a lot of room on a porch. So it’s understandable that someone would rather have a smaller swing.
Open shelving in the kitchen has become very popular in interior design. It’s a great way to add interest to a kitchen and turn organizing into a design feature.
