By the third week of May, I’m the most eager beaver on my street. I am literally chomping at the bit to get all of the gunky yellow pollen cleaned off of my front porch!
I want to hurry up and get things cleaned up outdoors so that I can spruce up my outdoor spaces to be able to take full advantage of outdoor living during the summer.
Do you use decorations around your home from past years as inspiration for this year? I sure do.
I loved this color palette from summer 2023 so much, I’m going to use it as my inspiration for decorating my porch this year. Stay tuned for my 2024 summer house tour coming in a few days!
Buckle up for lots of pictures because I’ve worked hard cleaning and painting and sewing to give my front porch a cheerful, summer refresh!
Today, we’re looking at my front porch, but you can see how I decorated my screen porch for the summer here.
A couple of years ago, I started moving away from farmhouse style and have been embracing more of a timeless decorating style. I love the ease and comfort of farmhouse decor, but when I took a decorating style quiz, it was obvious that at my core, traditional decor has my heart. ❤️
The front porch may look quite a bit different, but the only permanent change that I made was to paint our stained wood Adirondack chairs white. Making that one change totally transformed the look of our porch.
If you’d like to see them when they were stained, take a look HERE at last summer’s front porch.
The painted version of the chairs was debuted for last year’s fall front porch, which was decorated with navy and burgundy. It was so pretty!
The rest of the new, refreshed look was accomplished with pillows, bench cushions and different accessories that I pulled from my stash.
It’s entirely possible that my very favorite things on the front porch are the brightly colored blue and green pagoda pillow covers.
I love them so much that I intend to move them to the inside of the house when summer is over.
You can easily tell that I love to mix patterns! Luckily, I can provide you with links to everything, or something similar, in case you’d like to embrace this color palette too:
- Blue and white check bench cushion (similar)
- Blue and green lumbar pillow cover – multiple sizes and shapes available
- Blue and green pagoda pillow cover
- Green and white check pillow covers – set of two
- Blue and white lumbar pillow covers (similar)
I’ve used large gray baskets, turned upside down, as end tables for several years. To freshen them up this year, I purchased an unfinished wood table round for each one and spray painted them a pretty shade of blue.
Thank you for coming by for a visit on my summer-styled porch today!
I hope you were able to find some inspiring ideas to use at your own home this summer.
Suzy, your outside summer living area is just as lovely as your home’s inside! I love all the blue and green with little pops of yellow and red on your porches. I’d brave the heat too if I could swing on that gorgeous swing! LOVE all your decor. You are so talented, my friend! xo
Absolutely a beautiful decorated porch. So inviting and charming.
Thank you so much! I’m ready for porch-sitting weather to return!
Love your porch. I really like blue and green together! You are so clever!
Thank you so much! It’s a favorite color combo for sure.
I love that you painted the Adirondack chairs white. They really show up from the street now and balance out the whole porch. Love the blue and green and the acorn bookends are so unique!
Thank you, GF. I’m thinking about painting the front door an accent color. So torn!
Your house is absolutely beautiful! Seeing the front picture of it, it is so expansive and gives you so much to work with!! I love the refreshing blue and white palette for summer or actually, any time. Love what you’ve done to the porch!
Aw – thank you so much Judy! I’m glad you like it. I agree – blue and white is ALWAYS right. haha In some ways it’s fun to have a large porch, but in other ways it makes it tough to get it to feel cozy. 😀
