THE PORCH

Friday, August 26, 2011


Welcome to our porch...



Love birds, aren't they sweet! 
Mr. Heart and I are really enjoying the screened porch this summer.  Most mornings we are able to share a cup of coffee or two before he starts work.  It's a wonderful time together as we watch the birds eating their seed, hummingbirds visiting the flower pots around the porch, neighbors out for early morning walks and especially enjoying each other...nothing better!



We found this vintage mirror a few years ago and it used to hang in one of our guest rooms centered above two antique iron beds.  We have since put a queen sleigh bed in that room so the mirror was brought out to the porch where it's new home is hanging above an old enamel top table. The love birds were a birthday gift to me from my cousin.  She says they remind her of me and my hubby...isn't she sweet!!!  I love them!




The fan was purchased at TJ Maxx and during the late summer afternoons we use it often!  Burlap is all the rage these days and I just added a touch of it to the porch.  This burlap pillow cover with felt "P" was a win from 
At The Picket Fence...yippee!



I hope you've enjoyed the porch...more to come soon.
Love your visits and sweet comments.

Blessings,
Cindy

    Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee in the morning sounds like pure pleasure to me. In fall it will be a pleasure, too, with cooler temperatures and maybe a blanket over your legs.

    Love your burlap pillow that you won. Your porch looks so inviting. I especially love that fan that is on a stand. I've been gradually working on my porch, too.

    Cindy,
    Adore your porch decor. Even more the fact that you and Mr. Heart enjoy coffe together before he goes off to work. Stolen moments, I call them. Thank you for this inspirational post!
    Fondly,
    Pat
