Front Porch: Spring Refresh!

After a very long winter, our front porches tend to look dirty and very worn out! Especially the porch mats! I decided to switch it up by replacing the black and white layer rug and welcome mat. I then picked Frontgate's Cabana stripe in green and then had it monogrammed in our last name. I felt that it was the perfect color for spring, don't you agree? Next I moved onto the wreaths! I needed two and it can get quite expensive with double front doors especially when you go up in wreath diameter sizing. After scouring the internet for the perfect spring wreaths that had pink in it, I came up empty. I did find an inspiration wreath from PotteryBarn that I really liked but the diameter was just too small and the price tag too high! I then decided to order two simple green wreaths and customize it to my own liking! They arrived and looked even better than I expected! I added multiple faux flowers in different colors and weaved it into my wreaths. Once I was satisfied with the results, I then tied a bow on both wreaths using vibrant pink satin ribbons to make it pop against the black double front doors! It turned out so perfect and I am so pleased with how pretty they both turned out! Don't you agree? The lighted faux topiaries balls I already had from Christmas and decided to keep them there for the summer! There's just something about having soft ambiance lighting outdoors in the summer nights and I felt they would be beautiful if I just kept it there! The black urns I've had for years! Such a great classic shape! Last is the black lanterns that I shopped on a end of the year summer sale, two years ago from Pier 1 imports! They discontinued it but I will link similar options for you! Inside the lanterns I have multiple battery operated candles and added twinkle lights inside as well! I went back and forth on turning the battery operating candles inside the lanterns and turning on the battery operated twinkle lights. I felt that both was too much so for the summer, the twinkle lights are just the perfect amount of ambiance lights! Friends, I've listed all the shopping links below to help you create your perfect spring porch refresh! XOXO!
