Colorful spring porch with DIY decor
We are in full Spring mode here in the Carolina’s. Pollen central is more like it.
Although it looks beautiful, it is sort of rough to be outdoors for too long. First thing in the morning I take an allergy pill and go on my morning walk. Then it seems I am housebound for the rest of the day because it’s too yuk to be outdoors.
Today I am sharing our colorful spring porch with DIY decor. I realized after I hosed down the porch that just about everything on our porch is either made or repurposed.
I like it that way. It pretty much says a lot about our personality. Thrifty, colorful people live inside this humble adobe.
The porch is still wet when I snapped these photos. The lighting was good so I took the opportunity.

I had a lot of requests to roll out with an Owl stencil. Finally, I did. I have to say it may be my favorite.

ORIGINAL STENCIL USED NO LONGER AVAILABLE: Found a perfect substitute HERE
You can create your own custom pillow, signs and more. I even thought this was cute for a wedding table sign. Near the cards:)
Gather here pillow/versatile both front and back
That about wraps up the porch for the season. Hopefully, soon I can get some more flowers planted. I don’t know why I say that considering I will put the kill on them in no time at all.
You can also check out a few other of the DIY ideas shown here today.

Thanks for stopping over today.
You are so creative, Debbie! I wish I had your talent! My porch has nothing on it except a wicker metal bench that sits there lonely year after year! Maybe I need some styling 101 classes from you!! Your porch is gorgeous!
You can do the same Nancie:) None of this is difficult at all. Just step back, and maybe grab some things from the indoors and bring them out. Make things, add color and enjoy.
Love your porch, it is so pretty and all of your DIY projects are great.
Love it Debbie.
Your porch looks great! I am sneezing and coughing right now from allergies!
Wish I lived closer to come sit on your porch….so welcoming!
Thanks Kathleen, I wish you did too. I don’t get enough visitors LOL!
I have been so worried about you. It has been a long time since your last post. I am so glad to see you back on. Your porch is adorable.
No worries Linda. I am spending most of my time now on my other Home pressure cooking site:)
Your porch is so happy and welcoming Debbie. Great new stencil too.
Looks like THE place to be!
Love your porch!
would love a closer picture of the blue flower planter, trying to figure out what it is! Thank you for
brighting up this
rainy
day in Ohio!!
Hi Connie, I left the link in the post:) It was a Terra cotta pot I stenciled with plaster of Paris and then painted it.
Debbie, your porch looks so darn cute!!
I love your welcoming porch! Always so cute and inviting!
I am looking for a garland like the one on your front porch gather sign. It will go on top of a bakers rack on my patio. I am trying the beyound paint on it also. Where did you find that one.
Hi Glenda, I found that at Michael’s last year:)
It is pollen city at our place right now. GRR! Loving your porch. Oh I so need to simply clean my front porch for starters. Working on kitchen right now though. Cute stencil. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
I think I would trade what our Nor’easter left us the last two days for your pollen. Now they are telling us that we may get one more storm next week in Connecticut. The only thing on our porch right now is snow!!!!! I am so OVER winter.
Love seeing so many of the items that I’ve watched you make, paint or transform an old ‘left over’ into a fantastic ‘new’ piece RIGHT HERE ON YOUR FRONT PORCH. I recognize nearly every one. Hoping your pollen clear up soon so you can enjoy your porch in the afternoons. Happy Spring!!!
