Kicking off One Room At A Time series with the front porch is a great way to push me to work on the porch, it’s been awhile since I gave our front porch some attention.
If you didn’t catch my video yesterday on Facebook here is a little recap. Tammy, Patina and Paint, Corine, Junk to Gems and myself are starting a new series called One Room At A Time. In this series, we go into a room in our homes giving it a refresh, changing the décor or cleaning and organizing one day at a time.

MY PLANS FOR THE FRONT PORCH
Before starting any project, refresh or makeover, I always like to search for inspirations. I think planning is as fun as actually working on the project.
Here are the things on my list:
- clean the porch area, pressure wash the brick and sidewalk
- paint the concrete floor of the porch
- give the milk can and planters a fresh coat of paint
- create a new wreath for the door
- add some decorations to the walls of the porch
CLEANING
Cleaning the porch in itself is like giving your porch a refresh. It doesn’t cost anything, but a little of your time.
I am sure everyone has their own way to clean, so no reason to give you inspiration on cleaning your porch. 🙂
PORCH FLOOR
The first thing I am going to work on is the porch floor. I found this pretty photo of a stenciled porch floor done by Homestead 128.
I couldn’t find the stencil Homestead 128 used, but I found one in Walmart that’s just as pretty. I will be sharing in a video how I stenciled our porch floor tomorrow.
REFRESH PIECES FOR THE PORCH
The next project will be giving the milk can and planter a fresh coat of paint. I saw this photo by Pamela, Homeonfernhill, I love the look of her planters. That’s the look I want for my pieces, I’ll share the transformation Wednesday on Decorate With Us.
DIY WREATH
To save money I love making wreaths for our front door. For some reason I am crushing on lavender and hydrangeas right now, the two made a beautiful wreath. Thursday, I will share my DIY wreath for the 10 on the 10th blog hop.
ACCESSORIZE
Adding touches to the porch to achieve a warm and welcoming vibe for our guest. I saw this photo on Pinterest, maybe I can add something like the lanterns on each side of the door.
As you can see I have my work cut out for me. I will be sharing how I painted the porch floor on my social media tomorrow, hope I see you there!
Now, let’s click over to Tammy and Corine’s porches to see what type of goals they are setting. 🙂

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
