Ideas for the vintage porch

4/20/2012

It's time to get ready for Spring. Let's start with a few ideas for the front porch.

1. Create a backdrop or focal point with weathered fences, bamboo or an old door.
2. An old window is repurposed to a shelf. Perfect for small plants.
3. Mix textures, rod iron, chippy painted items, rusty metal and feathery plants make for an eclectic look.

4. Galvanized buckets make great planters.
5. Add vintage birdhouses in vibrant colors for a bit of fun.

Changing a few items to reflect the different seasons doesn't have to be expensive. Visit thrift stores, flea markets and shop garage sales to find your items. The possibilities are endless.

Hi...check out my first cover. I took this photo at one of my favorite local places, Renninger's Twin Markets in Mt. Dora, Fl.

If you love antiques and vintage items then you have to visit Renningers. They have so much to see... several covered air conditioned warehouses full of individual vendors selling everything from jewelry, fine antiques to vintage wares.
