Before and After

The picture below is of the previous owners decor on the front porch, or should I say lack of it. Their style was overcrowded Southwest, not my taste at all.



Theirs:



Mine:


My next project is the side yard, I am getting rid of the red rock.



Not much quilting going on this week, I am taking advantage of the sunny days and working outside before the heat hits.

Have a Happy 4th and celebrate our Independence!





Happy Quilting!

  5. Janet,
    Love your version of the porch. It looks so inviting! The tipsy pot display is wonderful. I love the height of it.
    Thanks for stopping by and letting me know you've been following the kitchen project. I have a feeling it will never be done....the goal right now is to get it at least useable for the weekend family party. And if Mike has to cook on his old grill because the new one isn't installed yet, well so be it. I'm going to clean up and put away all the tools and work stuff tomorrow done or not.
    Happy 4th to you!
