Whimsical Southern style porch

By 9 Comments

“Step right up and don’t be shy! Because you will not believe your eyes”:) .  I don’t know why I had that song stuck in my head today.   I would say probably because I have too much stuff on our front porch and thought hmmm..this could be an eye sore to the neighbors.  Good thing there is a big Japanese maple giving us privacy.

I actually love our front Southern porch.  Southerner’s aren’t minimalists, typically.  I know I certainly am not. It would drive me cray cray not to have things I love surrounding me.

Today, I am sharing a whimsical wreath I made from dollar tree decor for our whimsical Southern style porch.

It’s not the norm to see Haint Blue porch ceilings around our hood.  I love the history and tradition so a few years back we painted our porch ceiling Haint blue.  I can’t say it has kept the spiders away, but it has warded off evil spirits from entering.

At least, I haven’t seen any entering.

So today, I decided it was time for a dollar tree run.  It’s been since the Spring that I have crafted anything Dollar tree. I think the last wreaths I made were my Spring and terra cotta mini wreaths.

Of course, never having a plan, I just pick up things as I go.  I found this mini hula hoop, some fly swatters, a welcome flip flop sign, and some curly ribbon gift bows.

I then added the fly swatters, sunglasses and welcome sign to represent Hello Summer, and of course welcome to our home.

I can just imagine what my husband is going to say when he see’s this. It could be a reaction as bad as the Pool noodle wreath I did a few years ago.  He hated it LOL!  For the most, he likes what I craft, but when I get a little too whimsical , he sort of rolls his eyes.  I hate when he does that!

I had to add some butterfly catchers also from the dollar tree to my Balsam Hill Urns.

I went from Classy, to sassy.

I added my summer pillows to the rockers, and said I’m done! Feels fun, cozy and cute to me.

The pillows came from Walmart btw.

    Debbie,
    I love this wreath, so bright & cheerful! Can you share about how many of the curly ribbon pieces that you used? I’ve seen these at our dollar store (we don’t have a Dollar Tree in our city, dang it!!), but even at $1 each it looks like this could be a bit pricey. Would appreciate any information. Again, thanks for sharing, I just love your front porch.

      All I remember is the curly ribbons came in a three or four pack. I believe I bought 10? I really can’t remember.
