We all know how important curb appeal is and my front porch was really lacking it. It needed to be more inviting. So I added some colorful chair pillows, painted a table bright green, planted some flowers, and added a fun chalkboard sign! Can’t believe what a difference that all makes. My front porch just screams WELCOME! I love how it turned out! Now I just need to plant a few new trees/shrubs and I think it will look even better.
I hope everyone has a fabulous Memorial Day! My family and I will have our toes in the water, ass in the sand and cold drinks in our hands in Sunny San Diego!!!! It will be my son Beckham’s first time seeing the ocean…so EXCITING!!!!
Front Porch Curb Appeal
Here is what my front porch looked like before…BORING
After….HAPPY!!!!
Here are the chairs and white table before
Added some colorful new pillows, painted the table in a bright green and dipped the legs white! Love how it turned out.
Here they are after all the paint and new pillows! Love the colors!
Now my favorite, the Chalkboard sign! Found this gem at a yard sale, and can’t believe someone wanted to get rid of it! I however was more than happy to take it off their hands. Initially I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it, but soon discovered that the front porch was the perfect spot. I thought what a great way to greet guests, acknowledge Holiday’s, or create a personal greeting.
Also remember to head on over to the contest that I have going on here! It ends tomorrow.

I love the idea of using a chalkboard on a porch. I think it would be so much fun to change out the greeting!
Thank you, Laura! I agree, it will be so fun to change out the greeting!
Visiting from Craftberry Bush this morning. Like the chalkboard for the porch to say welcome! I need one of those. You’ve made your porch and front patio so charming and welcoming. Hope you can take the time to just sit out there too. Have a good Saturday.
Thank you, Linda! I need to make some time for sure and relax out there. I am always on the go with my 16 month old, I swear I never have time to just sit lol!
