Elegant Summer Porch Decorations

[@SheHoldsDearly]

I have LOVED this spring, but am moving towards summertime now with the decorating. It was so nice to give the porch a refresh and have a new cozy spot to sit! Welcome to my little tour!

Porch turned out great. Your dog cracked me up.

Turned out so nice.

Beautiful!

I loved the tutorial on your basket, it turned out so beautiful, as did your front porch. I love the flowers you chose as well, so elegant. I purchased a 7 pc set of real wicker furniture for my front porch at of all places KMart 23 yrs ago for just over 100.00. They have held up beautifully, I did have to respray them with a fresh coat of paint twice, but they're on a huge front porch that's really protected from the elements unless the weather has alot of wind. I add new cushions and decor each year to change color schemes if I want, as well as flowers. When I look at the price of real wicker today, I feel blessed that I got mine for the price I did.

Love it when hubby helps!

[@reginasmith3149]

I love it!

[@sherripacchiano]

It was incredible to see your use of black / white / green with touches of wood. Thats my HEART for summer decorating. The use of these colors in this application is very uncommon and oh so beautiful. I love the simplicity and uniqueness of the combination. Basket tutorial...amazing. Always the teacher. Lesson LOVED!!! I was a Longaberger Branch Advisor for many years. I will be trying my hand at this application with a few pieces.

[@teresajohnson5010]

Your porch turned out beautifully you seem like such an easy going and sweet person always enjoy your videos your home seems very peaceful love the animals.

[@lesliepowell6471]

Love love everything a! Your bunnies are so cute and your puppy relaxing in the sun is adorable! Your porch is very welcoming and peaceful! You are beautiful and kind and peaceful as well. Your work reflects this!

[@51Lorie]

Hi Sarah! I love the welcoming and elegant look of your porch, well done! I had to watch it a few times because I was feeling like something was off. Just in my opinion, I think it's the barrel height. Maybe it would look more proportionate with a barrel that is level to the height of the arms on the chairs. That way, you and your husband can sit and talk more comfortably and have a place to put your drinks down. Maybe it's just me but I have a thing about scale and proportion when it comes to decorating. Still, the whole look is stunning and beautiful!

[@scc6454]

I agree with you. It looks good, but two people sitting there couldn't see each other to converse.

[@reneeadolph1309]

Absolutely love it!

[@melindaferreira9879]

That basket refresh looks wow!! Love the porch w black, good, green. Very sophisticated yet welcoming.

[@leonorbobe174]

So pretty, love the green on the pillows.

[@donnafilice5457]

Beautiful space with so much attention to detail! Just lovely! And your furbabies are the perfect touch!❤️

[@ahg3814]

I always love your videos!!!! So excited to try the technique on some baskets. I have just used before, but this will be great for the orange ones I have that i want to use!!!! Thank you!!!! Hope I can make a retreat or Decorating Academy sometime!!!

[@toniwadsworth7577]

My mother’s front porch in her farm in Georgia looked like this. She used a primitive wooden bench as a coffee table. She hung very old horse bits from the porch roof and used then to attach baskets for plants or sometimes a collection of old cowbells.

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

I love the color composition!

[@k.crosbie261]

Loved how the porch turned out

[@rzpotts4]

What an amazing job 😊.

[@tammyleer9268]

[@bibianesproule5876]

Love all that you did, looks very classy🫶😉

[@herekittykittykitty475]

Every time you feature your porch - I love the cabinet! I have a smaller version in my storage building that I keep forgetting about and every time I see yours - ha! - I have GOT to get the cabinet over here! This summer, yeah, THIS summer! Always inspiring lovely lady!

[@robertalaprade5612]

I like the whole outcome. It was nice and cozy😍🥰

[@vickinoeske1154]

The porch looks lovely! Beautiful garden center.

[@cindymarie2475]

I have two old barn red benches on my front stoop. I’m going to paint them black, put one of my lanterns on one with a fern on each bench. It’s a start! Lol Thanks for the inspiration❣️🌸

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh that sounds just perfect!

[@k.crosbie261]

I love how you always get your husband to do these things for you :)

[@quiltednestvintage6347]

[@michellem434]

It looks so pretty fresh and clean. You always do an amazing job decorating!

[@tammysteele4475]

Love 💗 your videos, love the way y decorate

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Love the green velvet pillows against the black adirondacks. This all turned out so beautifully. I have an old tall black lantern like yours, and I took antique gold Rub and Buff to just the top of it. And left the rest black. It was a simple update with alot of impact.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Ooo, that sounds lovely. I may try that, too!

[@teresaelling-peacefulhome]

What a beautiful porch! I love how you showed us your inspiration photo, and then what you did to achieve a similar look. Thanks for the constant encouragement that we all can freshen up our homes regardless of budget. Blessings to you, Sarah!

We just got a new front door… It’s Beautiful! I plan on bricking my porch too. Loved your ideas for front porch decor, Sarah.🫶🏻

[@irmayorke9075]

Absolutely stunning, way better then your inspiration. Love it

[@jonavin2361]

I really love your aesthetic, and I think your porch looks stunning! You've inspired me to paint a basket I have, thank you so much for the inspiration and sharing your skills xx

[@theplantninja-texasgardener]

Thanks for the idea to turn baskets into planters by lining with plastic(assuming with holes for drainage)😊

[@SheHoldsDearly]

No, I don’t use holes. I think it could ruin the basket.

[@jenniferkessener1111]

So good to see how to refresh a basket with good bones. The porch looks so lovely. What is the plant with white flowers? Your bunnies and dog stole the show!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Which plant do you mean?

I used your faux wood technique last year on my nightstand lamp. The lamp was perfect except for the cheap looking plastic and now it really does look like raw wood. My lamp was thrifted btw

Sarah, do you live in Seattle ? Love everything you do, the porch looks amazing!!!!!

[@sharonhendricks9706]

Your porch looks awesome! I'm having difficulty with my new entrance. It's a large deck, centered between windows and the front door, but unfortunately no roof. It's on the East which means hot sun until afternoon and I'm not sure how to dress it up to make it inviting but also survive the SUN!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Oh yes, it sounds like you need an awning, or at least a patio umbrella set up.🤍

[@karencampbell9770]

Have you watched “pretty in the pines” you tube channel? So your style. You remind me of her and her channel.

[@cd2659]

What do you do with the bunnies?

[@SheHoldsDearly]

My daughter sells them as pets, usually young children buy them. It’s the sweetest thing to watch them pick out their bunny.❤

New subscriber here! Will need to catch up on all your videos. Does anyone know the paint used on the Adirondack chairs? It’s my next project. Thnx!

It's Fusion Mineral Paint, "Ash". shop.fusionmineralpaint.com/products/ash

[@SheHoldsDearly]

And welcome! :)

[@MsViolettEyes]

@@SheHoldsDearly Thanks so much! !

[@giennefarcais6834]

I'm wondering two things - 1. why you added the white paint to the basket and then covered it with the wax which - unless it just doesn't come through on the video - seems to obliterate the white? And the very tall barrel which seems to block one person from the other, partially obstructs the view from the window, and is too tall to rest a drink on without getting up out of your chair? It all looks good but I am more interested in how things work in terms of actual use and comfort. Thanks.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

The two products together make light tan streaks all over. Yes, it sounds like you would like a lower table, if it were your porch. It would certainly be more functional.
