It’s no secret that we kinda like porch swings. I think every porch needs a swing to enjoy and relax on. We have had some type of swing at most every home we have ever lived in, and we know that has been a few. There is just something about a swing that takes me back to when I was younger sitting on my grandmothers porch. I have fond family memories of swinging and relaxing on the back porch. I can’t imagine having a house without one!
There is no better time of the year than fall to do some porch sitting. I love sitting on the swing in the cooler weather watching the leaves change colors. A porch is a wonderful place to cozy up and enjoy this beautiful time of year.
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “you only get one chance to make a good first impression”. Your front porch is where your home makes its first impression. This is why it’s so important to create an inviting space outside your front door that makes your guests feel welcome.
When taking on a big project like putting in a pool, it’s nice to know how much things are going to cost. Sure, you can get an estimate from the contractor, but I’ve never seen an estimate be close to what things end up actually costing when it’s all said and done.
I don’t know about you, but Henry and I love using greenery outside in pots and containers. We seriously have nearly twenty plants just in pots outside our home.
We have used them in places like between our garage doors, beside our pool, and next to our front and back doors. Plants in pots add a variety of visual interest to the outside of your home. They also can create a lot of curb appeal for your home.
