Patriotic Porch Mini Reveal

I’ve been awaiting this day with bated breath…the porch is 99% complete (only need gutters and screens) and I am in love.  I am going to put together a full reveal with all the detailed shots, sources and of course contact information for our amazing contractor, but in the mean time I figure if I don’t share it all dolled up for the fourth then I’ll have to wait another year.  And y’all know patience isn’t one of my virtues. (Is anyone else singing “Patience is a virtue” from Thomas & Friends right now?)July 2012 017 copyA view from the back of the house.  We’ll landscape that bed this fall when we have a much better chance of survival!  The flag buntings are from US Flag Store.
July 2012 018 copy July 2012 016 copyWe landscaped the bed and path leading to the porch earlier in the spring and it’s all thriving.  Now, y’all come on in!  The stairs showcase the pots I found on clearance at the Savannah Target and the lanterns are from WalMart.  Mother was a doll and dug up the potato vine from the back of her yard AND planted the pots for me while we were visiting.  They were looking pretty rough for a few days but they did come back, just as she assured me they would.

Mother helped me make a second set of red pillow covers for use at fourth of July and the holidays.  The  fabrics are both from Premier Prints.  The flag pillow was purchased from Pottery Barn a few years ago.  Sweet Land of Liberty DIY canvas (with free printable) project showcased here.  A tutorial for the frame with the “Dixie Land” quote is on the docket.
