It's finally warmed up enough to feel like Spring. This week we have actually had Summer like temperatures. It feels great!
.
All of my outdoor furniture is out of the garage and outside.

Here's the empty screen porch:

And my new outdoor rug:

And here are a few photos of the porch with all the furniture out:

I'm so happy it's finally warm enough to use the screen porch - it's like adding a whole other room to my house. I'm headed to the greenhouses this weekend to stock it with plants.

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely room to relax in! Your yard is gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteYour porch is beautiful! I love screened porch in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI love that furniture! My mom got some from target this year and now I want some. Also love the pillows.

Gorgeous, Alissa...and that grass! Green is just such a great color.
ReplyDeleteWow, that porch looks amazing! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love my deck, but would love to enclose my front porch! Keeps mosquitos out!LOL
ReplyDeleteLove it!! My favorite spot at 2636 come Summer. Can't wait to have some drinks out there with E this summer :)

ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Rio de Janeiro Brazil and liked to know your blog.
Good morning!
I love it! It looks so inviting! :)
ReplyDeleteThe new rug looks great! You have a great outdoor space! :)
ReplyDeleteYour porch makes me want to stop over to hang out with a glass of wine! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteJealous, as we are far from enjoying summer temps here. The rain and cool weather won't go away! Normally we are in shorts, not this year!
ReplyDeleteYou are so fortunate to have such a great outdoor space! It looks so inviting. Can't wait to see it with all your pretty flowers and plants!
ReplyDeleteHi, Ali.
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog since last summer - Sandy told me all about it (remember me? I went to Spain with Sandy & Kris). I love your projects, and am about to tackle a roman shade thanks to your instructions.
I LOVE the new rug. I think I need it, but hard to tell what the green is really like on yours & the ballard websites. Are you familiar with the Amy Butler Nigella line - specifically this fabric (or the passion vines in pink)?:

I made dining room curtains out of it. Do you think the green in the rug will clash?
Anyway, love your blog!
