"Spring has sprung! The grass is riss! I wonder where the birdies is?"
My father used to say this every year at the first sign of Spring. Now that I'm all grown up, what this means to me is "get the front porch ready!" Let me share my thoughts: there are a few things you can do to make your front porch welcoming, not just for guests but for yourself to enjoy the space. Well placed potted plants - faux or real - always make a good impression. It goes without saying, the porch needs a comfortable chair or two, rocker, swing, glider - which ever works and is to your liking and fits the space. There is a huge variety of battery operated candles and lamps, adding 1 or several is a no brainer. An area rug can add to the overall feeling of comfort and charm. Any size will do. And don't forget "attitude" - add something personal, make it yours, enjoy it, share it, own it! Feel the love and everyone who has the good fortune to step onto your porch will love it, too!
Maybe even sit a spell!
