Styling My Sister's Porch

One thing my sister has that I don't is a nice front porch. All I have is a stoop. I went to her house the other day so we could style her porch and do a photo shoot. Of course I am not a professional. Just fun seeing what we could come up with.

This is what it looked like when I arrived. Not bad, but we had fun grabbing things from her house and dressing it up a little.

We added this coverlet that I brought with me and threw it over the swing. 

Then we dismantled her house by grabbing pillows from here and there.

This is the back side of a grain sack pillow. I liked it better without the very black print showing.

The striped pillows in the rockers came off her bench in her foyer.

This large basket of fruit was on her coffee table. Thought it was the perfect country touch.

We added a coverlet from her bedroom to this chair on the other side of the porch and another pillow from inside. 

The pink toile print fabric thrown across the back to tie in the colors we were using is actually a dress that she picked up at the flea market. She was using it on her bench inside. I was so surprised that it was a dress. Now that is thinking outside the box.

This toile pillow on the swing is actually a skirt she picked up at the flea market and it is just glued together to form a pillow cover.

 The statue on the floor she had already brought out from her bathroom.

We draped a piece of burlap over the table between the chairs and added my large farm style pitcher that I brought. We tied a piece of burlap around that to cover the red checked pattern on it. 

Of course you have to have either lemonade or sweet iced tea on a hot summer day.

Her fern is thriving well.

These are some faux flowers from inside since we didn't have any real ones to use. They really look real. She bought them recently at Pier One.

She had three of these flower boxes hanging on the front of the railing.

While we were playing on the front porch her boston terrier was in the yard playing with what he calls a stick. More like a log!

This is the finished look just by using what we had.

Thanks sis for letting me play on your porch.

Have a great week!
