Last week I shared a simple DIY welcome mat and you got to see a glimpse of my back porch. I mainly use our backdoor so I wanted to spruce up that porch a bit. During the warmer months we end up using this area to hang wet bathing suites and towels and without fail lots of toys end up scattered in this small area. Just a few key changes are making this porch feel more organized, functional, and pretty.
This update was really important to me because I really want to try growing my own herbs and veggies. I figure starting small like this is the best way to ease my way into full-on gardening.
As I mentioned, we end up having lots of toys scattered on or around this porch so I wanted an easy solution. This can from IKEA can stand up to weather and I love that it has a lid!
What makes any space are the little details that reflect your taste.
For me, summer always means nautical elements, like the rope tassels and bright happy flowers!
See, that was a quick and painless makeover!
How are you sprucing things up around your house?

I love your herb planter Beth!! That is the cutest thing ever. I grow a few herbs every year on my deck and love how they do double duty – functional and pretty. Your summer porch looks so lovely, tidy and welcoming!

They totally are a functional yet pretty addition!

So cute and so you! I've been wanting to grow a garden again, but haven't gotten around to it this year. Maybe next year!

I don't think I am ready for our bigger one again yet but maybe I can handle three pots 🙂
