Front Porch Makeover

July 13, 2015 By Lynn 1 Comment

 

It was OOOGALLY!  That means really ugly. The wind at our last house had totally ripped the cushions on the patio furniture. I was ashamed to have this on my new front porch, but we had just moved and the garage was full of boxes. It had no where to go – it sat on display for my new neighbors to see…. a sorry sight.

My first task for the new house! Front porch makeover!! We won’t have our yard put in for a while, so I thought I NEED to take advantage of this great front porch. The striped cushions were pretty dirty and the ripped cushions needed some serious love. Time for a trip to JoAnn’s! The cushion themselves were still in good-usable shape, so all I needed to do was sew new covers.

Choices….

All I had to do then was tuck in the corners and accessorize!

When were moved into our home the basement was not finished, but it was partially framed. One of those framed walls was a little funky. It did not line up with the other “walls” it would meet up with. I wasn’t sure how to make it work with the room behind it. At the same […]
