I love a good sprucing up kind of project and lately, I've had a few little projects that make our back porch more homey and welcoming.
I made this old board salvaged from a friend into a meaningful (to me) take on Psalm 23:5.
The Rugged Mountain Man's neighbor throughout his childhood gifted us this rocker, which I spent a little while repainting.
I decided on "Rest in Me" for the back slat on it. It's a good reminder and I adore the subtle play on words.
What porch is complete without a solid rocking chair?
Deep in the recesses of the basement, I had squirreled away this fabric. I found it on a Walmart run back when Blossom2 was a baby. Zoom in on the green awning. You can see that it has my name on it! It was fun to finally get around to making a new pillow out of it.
For the past few years, I've wanted to paint a rug on my porch.
I created a stencil that fit the width of my deck boards and got down to business.
It was a fun project for a lovely spring day.
I made my own stencil for the tassels too. They thrilled my beauty-loving soul!
There's been lots of "back porch sittin'" around here lately and that kind of quality time breathes peace into our routine.
