Screen Porch Update




The boys having a good ole' time in the bubbles. 






Night time relaxin...

When we moved into our house 11 years ago we knew we eventually wanted to do something with our back porch. It wasn’t screened, but it was covered. So we had a base to work with. We just needed to add some final touches. We finally did a porch update a few years ago and I wanted to share it with you all since its spring, the weather is finally warming up and being outdoors is pretty much mandatory with kids this time of year. We love the final product. It was a great way to improve and extend our living area and adds so much to how we can entertain ourselves and our guests. Screen porches are a staple in the south, pretty much all year long. We love spending time out there, eating meals, playing with the kids and listening to the crickets at night. The nights are honestly the best time to enjoy it. We turn on the twinkle lights, some music, have a drink and stretch out on the couch. After the kids go to bed there is nothing I like more than to enjoy some me time before bed out there under the stars and nightly breeze. During the day the curtains (drop clothes from Lowe's) can be untied and stretched out to shield us from the sun. And when they get too dirty from being outside in the elements they can be washed super easily or thrown out and repurchased since they are so inexpensive. All of the plants minus the ferns are my husbands babies. He  brings them inside in the colder months and back to the porch in the warmer months. I am not fond of them inside but outside I really do love all the green they bring to this space. The full list of updates and where we purchased all of our outdoor furniture and accessories is listed below. So if your outdoor space is lacking get out there and give it some good TLC! I promise you will not regret it! We also updated our backyard last summer, with a dining space and fire pit. I will share some pics and details about it in an upcoming post! Happy Spring Refreshing in and outside of your home!

Talk to ya'll soon.
Love Heather
