Man, I couldn't just completely abandon this blog. Making these ten things posts is crazy addicting haha. With the theme that I started like a month ago, here's the next room in my new house themed ten things, the porch!
I don't have any pictures of the porch, and right now it's basically just a junk holder (bags of plaster and rolls of old carpet). But it's just your standard run of the mill front porch, with siding on the inside and lots of windows.
I'm going to tell you the truth... I kinda want my porch to be a little quirky. Partly because I myself am quite quirky, but mostly because I live in such a normal little town... I think they need and injection of different into their lives. Haha! I want the space to be somewhere where I can enjoy chill out and relax, but also can take the abuse of being used every day. So here is my inspiration.
1. I love this doorknob for my front door. So fun and retro!
2. I've always dreamed of having a beautiful black storm door.
3. Quirky planters full of plants I can't kill (Like cacti? Maybe?)
4. Chartreuse durable carpeting.
5. A black hammock instead of a porch swing.
At first I wanted to paint the ceiling with black and white stripes, but now I'm thinking I'll just install
curtains like these. But after looking at
this picture, maybe it's worth the extra effort to paint the ceiling. So cool!
I love
this bench and
these decorations. Gives a very casual vibe, though I feel weird putting up skateboards when I don't actually skate. Maybe I should take up a new hobby. :P
I haven't really given a lot of thought to lighting, but I love the look that
these fairy lights give the whole space. I will defiantly be trying that.
