What an amazing way to make your front porch mimic an actual room!! You should be so proud. It looks amazing!! You have such a great eye and something I heard Laura and her mom say, "you're romancing the ordinary!!" You totally live up to being "anything she wants to be!!" Gardener and decorator without doubt!! I am anxious to see how the plants do in the deep shade. Thanks again for all the inspiration!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!! This is such a sweet comment 💚💚💚

[@michellepollino4986]

The wandering Jew looks beautiful in your head planter. Wandering Jew just cut pieces off the plant and put it in potting soil and water easy to propagate. Love your spring porch! Looking gorgeous!

[@shesamadgardener]

I’ve heard it is super easy to propagate so I’m definitely going to try some.

[@ginamaxey9967]

Growing up in Galveston Texas, wandering Jew was considered a "trash" plant that you never let grow in flower beds cause it would take over. Our compost pile always looked great with Jew growing like a mad man🤣🌻🌱

[@teresataylor8267]

I love your head planter and topiary! Everything looks Beautiful!!!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@SharkSandwich451]

From what I’ve learned about your style; this front porch is very ‘YOU’

[@shesamadgardener]

💚💚💚

[@3CandiesInTX]

I like that you include names of the plants when planting those containers.

[@shesamadgardener]

Aww good! So happy the names helped out!

[@lilal3753]

Amanda, every time I watch you, I realize I have more things to clean. It never occurred to me to clean my front door. So, thanks for that!! I love the whole look. It's so inviting. You're lucky I don't live close to you. I'd be drinking my morning coffee on your porch. The table you refinished is gorgeous.

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@patboyle267]

Beautiful transformation! It looks like Spring ❤😊 now only if the weather would cooperate 🤷‍♀️🤣

[@shesamadgardener]

So true!

[@TerryeToombs]

Simply gorgeous! It gives a very upscale and fresh look to your entry. Nicely done!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sjerzgrl]

I love what you did. The decor and container plantings. You’ve provide inspiration and great ideas.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@AvaDeFreitasLee9733]

Wow this vision to final stage transformation was so impressive!! I love that you shared your process including budget limitations and next steps. Everything looks great and brings out the brick exterior of your home. Can’t wait for part two. Love from NJ💕

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks so much!!

[@marikeyshappyhomedecor4876]

Beautifully decorated, I absolutely love the brick walls 👌🏽 tfs.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 🤗

[@BarbaraSalaStudio]

everything looks beautiful! I agree with you, a runner rug would be the final touch.

[@shesamadgardener]

💚💚💚

[@pinetreesnflowers101]

Very moody and sheek, absolutely gorgeous!!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you 💚💚💚

[@heidijones1516]

Amanda, you have a good eye as they say, love how this is turning out.

[@shesamadgardener]

Aww thanks!

[@debrabray8855]

I LOVE it!!! It looks so beautiful and inviting.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 😊

[@melindamoore9449]

Love it! A glass over your sofa table might offer some protection from the elements and still keep the look. Cant wait to see the finished look!

[@shesamadgardener]

Great idea!!

[@alanamcguire1921]

So inviting! I’m in 6b and it’s still cold here but I’m so inspired by your space. Can’t wait to see part 2!

[@shesamadgardener]

Yay! Thank you!

[@lindaswedenlifestyle]

Wow looks so beautiful. You really good to organice the stuff at ur place.. great work my frend👌❤️

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much 😊

[@janebentrott5984]

I love, love your front porch area!! It certainly is a new look which is great! The porch is an extension of your home and it gives people going by and your guests something to look at. I agree that the other portion of your porch is separate, but needs to coordinate with the completed section. Here in Iowa our bulbs are just peaking through and I am itching to get outside soon! No planting until mid May here. Enjoy your porch!!😊🌸👍

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much! Your spring will be there before you know it!

[@2equine1dog92]

Okay that’s gorgeous. You have a wonderful eye.

[@shesamadgardener]

Aww thanks!

[@GeeClef64]

Simply STUNNING! Also, I couldn't help but notice how much your Walmart already has in stock! I'm in zone 7b, so hopefully mine will catch up in the next couple of weeks!!

[@shesamadgardener]

Truthfully, it’s not typically so well stocked … I’m wondering if they have new personnel in charge.

[@Laura-rx9mp]

Beautiful ideas! Glad I fond your channel for inspiration

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad you found it too!

[@phylliscole9456]

Beautiful, you are so down to earth

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!

[@marionnixon817]

Wow, you are so creative and artistic! You really have a special talent of putting things together. LOVE the topiary (added to my ever growing list 😁) and the geraniums. This is like having an indoor room outside. Your container combinations give me so many ideas. The purple oxalis will make an excellent friend with that group. I love them, so easy to grow! Have you thought about painting your porch with paint like you use on a garage floor? It comes in a grayish color and it’s easy to clean. One downside, now that I think about it, is it might be a little slick when it’s really wet. Just a thought. Cant wait to see part 2! Hurry! 🤣

[@shesamadgardener]

I’d love to paint some of the entry but I live in an HOA.

[@marionnixon817]

@@shesamadgardener Oh, sorry! Some of them are really strict. This paint is basically the color of a darker concrete but I completely understand. Never though I would live in an HOA area but they are very common here. I want to paint my front door but need to find out which colors are allowed. Ours was orange! before we bought it but they painted it beige before they listed it. I want a teal color but…..

[@theresaoriabure9673]

I am happy I found you. I live in Garland Texas. I love that you do not have a million to spend.

[@shesamadgardener]

Welcome!!

[@tammyperkins3791]

At Home or Ikea has really affordable outdoor rugs. I think more geranium’s planted where you were going to put your houseplants would look nice and tie in with the flow. It looks great so far!

[@shesamadgardener]

Those are great suggestions! I’ll definitely check those out for rugs once my budget cycles!

[@janetknight8724]

Hey Amanda. Looks so amazing. cannot wait for part 2. Such a good feeling when a plan comes together

[@shesamadgardener]

Aww thanks!

[@michellefrance1165]

Loving the new design for your front porch!! I can't wait to do mine, not quite there yet in Indiana even though today is the first day of Spring 😑 Happy Spring to you!!

[@shesamadgardener]

It will be here before you know it!

[@littlesaltyhomesteader]

Your porch looks so beautiful!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 😊

[@rosemarypurnell3674]

Front porch Spring makeover is looking amazing! Looking forward to the second half of the makeover. Really like the sofa table being used as a main design element and how you've decorated it. I understand about pacing one's self with budgets, especially with inflation causing everything to be more expensive. Went into "sticker shock" when we had to buy fertilizer for the lawn last week!! Spring is finally here, yippee!!!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@leighsprather7937]

Love it! So beautiful!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 😊

[@gillbrown3523]

I love what you’ve done ❤

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you!

[@mardisteffenhagen]

This looks so good ,so welcoming❤

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@robertbaker9775]

Yes, indeed, it certainly IS beautiful, Amanda! The area just outside your front door looks twice as wide and bright with the furniture on the other side! I would want to sit in the front yard and just stare at it! You did a FANTASTIC job again, as usual! Hoping that Walmart in Houston sells those awesome topiaries! Now I barely can wait to see what you do in the other part of the porch!! 💚💚 Linda

[@shesamadgardener]

Oh thank you!

[@michellepollino4986]

Now you can bring your geraniums in for the winter and you will have them for next season. Easy to propagate or just leave in containers and they will live in your house.

[@shesamadgardener]

I didn’t know I could do that with geraniums! Thank you!

[@susanschellberg4509]

Looks really elegant and inviting. An indoor/outdoor carpet would be a wonderful finishing touch.

[@shesamadgardener]

I think so too!

[@cathywright4133]

It turned out beautiful

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you!

[@lorikopelciw6962]

Looks really good!!!

Beautiful. Love the pieces of furniture you worked into the design and the plant choices.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!

[@amandasides5033]

Looks cute

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@wendyhill3109]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL... did you ever think about a outdoor runner rug for the entrance to front door

[@shesamadgardener]

I would definitely like to add one!

[@maureenmarttunen5073]

Love your front porch 2023 redo. So pretty!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!

[@sharonhart1232]

Oh my goodness!! You're porch looks so good. I have a pot head planter but never thought about putting a wandering jew in it. I think that is what I'll do too

[@shesamadgardener]

Awesome!

[@far3v]

Nice job. The table area looks great!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@soniab4811]

Beautiful makeover. Have you considered trying self watering containers on the concrete porch to avoid water damage from watering the container plants?

[@shesamadgardener]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@Arelii_Small_World]

So yesterday I went to Walmart and be holded they had geraniums 2.50 the medium pots😮I was like I need some even if they won't last I'm focusing more on roses this year and guess what I went to pay all gone in less these 15 minute cause I went in and out man I was mad but my fault should of gotten then as.soon as I.saw them next time hopefully . Everything looks beautiful🌸🌺

[@shesamadgardener]

Ugh, that sucks!

[@Bloominggood]

I LOVE IT!! GORGEOUS 😍 I think I need a shade planter now mine is boring 😄

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes you do!!!

[@BramptonGardener]

ohhh it looks so lovely and fresh. I bought a primula and ronoculous, have my pansies and ornamental kale for my spring planters but I'm not sure when I'm brave enough to put them outside ahahah. I'll need to accumulate them first for sure.

[@shesamadgardener]

Your spring is almost here!

[@BramptonGardener]

@@shesamadgardener can i hold you too that. hahaha I need to start hardening off my greens too, the snow is melting pretty nicely the last couple of days and these babies need out of their tiny containers.

[@sandratraugott6522]

Was that our Wylie Walmart? If so, I guess I better go outside next time we’re there! Been too cold for me lately. Everything looks great!

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes it was!

[@jacquiedavis4918]

It is absolutely beautiful! Have you ever thought about painting your door to add a pop of color?

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes I have but our HOA has regulations 😢

[@leighannbrown6450]

Where did you find the double impatiens? Everything looks great so far.

[@shesamadgardener]

I got them from Home Grown in Farmersville.

[@cegli1966]

Hello! I have discovered your videos on KZbin! For this specific one, I have to say, that I have never even considered the concept of planting perennials into a planter?! I grew up on an orchard in Osoyoos, BC, in the Okanagan Valley, in British Columbia, Canada. It is a desert in the summer. Annuals were meant for planters, and perennials, were meant for the ground. My question is, “What do you do with your perennials once they have completed the season in the planter? Thank-you in advance for your answer!

[@shesamadgardener]

I usually move them to the garden or keep them in the planter for next year!

[@ginamaxey9967]

Just Beautiful 💐 New sub from Galveston Texas, your chilly & im in a tank top where are u from in Texas?✌🌻🌱

[@shesamadgardener]

Welcome! I love Galveston!

[@carlshifflett5302]

What type of hangers do you use in your brick wall? Thanks, Carol

[@shesamadgardener]

They are concrete hangers from Home Depot.

[@margiemistretta8885]

The geranium is a full sun plant not shade anyway but very nice entryway

[@shesamadgardener]

These said part sun part shade on the tags but thanks for letting me know, I’ll keep an eye on them and move them to more light if needed.

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

I think the patio area or the cement area could be power washed it looks a little dirty or dingy from the other plants that used to sit there. I think they will be more photographic aesthetic better, but other than that you did a great job I really like your decorations, sweet cute.

[@shesamadgardener]

I actually love the green and algae concrete but totally understand that others prefer a cleaner look!

[@amandasides5033]

Will the geraniums get enough light??

[@shesamadgardener]

I’m not sure … I’ll be keeping an eye on them!

[@tinafehr8394]

How about a runner for that area and just place a few baskets under the table rather than more planted pots.

[@shesamadgardener]

I definitely think that’s the way I would like to go … I think it will soften the area.
