Vintage Patriotic Front Porch for Independence Day-Decorate With Me

 Hi Friends, 

I've been a busy adding Patriotic touches to my front porch.

I showed you my galvanized buckets on the front porch in a 1st of June post, "Vintage Galvanized Buckets and Florals for the Front Porch".

From there, I started by adding  touches of Patriotic -little flags to the black enamel pot, but there was something missing...

I changed the tattered ribbons on the vintage milk cans with new patriotic ribbons. 

Added a few more flags to an a vintage milk can and wire basket 

It was still looking like I needed some height, so I dug out a vintage rectangle wire basket to give height to the brass bucket.

I had a red metal barn star that I have had about 12 years, that I had on a corner shelf in the family room so I brought it out to add a little "Country Charm".

There seemed to be a bare spot in the middle there so I went looking in my house. 

I found this thrifted black lantern, from my "Community Budget Center" stuffed in a corner of the guest bathroom, kind of looking out of place, and thought why not paint this.... 

 

Red. In the craft supplies I had red acrylic paint, to use for this quick project with this lantern, I love how the lantern turned out.  What do you think?

Still some vacant space here so I added this....

I am Proud to Be an American flag I purchased at "Dollar Tree, last year for a Dollar.

It seems like there is more blank space, so I might think about this.....

Thank you for stopping by, and if you could give me some ideas to fill this blank area that would be great.

Until I can figure it out needs to be put in this space.

May God Bless You and Your Family.

A Few Rustic Late Summer Touches to My Front Porch

 Hi Friends,

Today I'm working on sprucing up my front porch for late summer, by bringing in the sunflowers a little green foliage to the vintage milk cans.   

I love adding black and white buffalo checked ribbon here and there to added the farm house feel

I have added a few burlap ribbon to add a rustic touch to the front porch.

I added a new welcome sign to my summer front porch this year from some old shelving I had painted red.  Using some Dollar Tree supplies, this is how my welcome sign turned out.

Just a few little touches to my front porch, and my front porch is ready for late summer.

I like how it all turned out, thank you so much for stopping by to see what I have been up too....until next time.

My God Bless You and Your Family,

Farmhouse Touch to the Front Porch for Spring

Hi Friends, so glad you stopped by.

Today I'm adding a little spring to my front porch area. The temperature is still to cold at night to be putting out plants.

I ran across this bottle caddy in my basement, that I found thrifting many years ago. From my local Dollar Tree store I purchase floral foam a few clusters of daffodils and raffia.

Very simple DIY.  I just layered the floral foam in the bottom of the caddy then added the raffia.

arranged the daffodils and a little reindeer moss to try and cover the floral foam a bit.

In one of my vintage milk cans I planted a few daffodils, in the milk crate I added the daffodil caddy, but it wasn't working for me I didn't like the white color of the caddy so I just arranged the daffodils in the milk crate.

I like this arrangement better for now.

Thank you so much for stopping by and You all have a great Day!
