This is the first coat w/ no touch ups.. I think the dark furniture and the light brown rug will look great with this color.. I love how light and airy the space feels now. I think the red was weighting it down.

Much better, don't you think?
I decided to go with this accent color. Blue was a great suggestion, but I wanted to incorporate some green because my living areas have green.. I wanted it to flow easily from indoor to outdoor.
I found these pillows at Home Depot for $12 a piece... not a bad price.
Love the colors.. fits the bill perfectly.
Then guess what I found at the thrift store today? He was $6 a bit pricey for a thrift find but glad I bought him..
Isn't he fabulous? I think so.. it is a vintage piece.
Perfect for the pillows. I love the chips and all. It turns out he is vintage which is all the better to me.
and I found this at Home Depot.. it is all metal for a price of $29, a pretty good price for all metal outdoor clocks.
and the perfect lamp shade for $3 at the thrift store.
Thrift store white planter. $2.50
maybe a pic, what do you think
I found this at Mom's house.. kinda did a trade out.. I found her a huge pic for above her couch of the hunt scene.. she is in love with it.. pics for later. It was a great find. I see I don't have it straight now. It is a kind of
plastic which is perfect for outdoor and it was free, well kind of. Her pic cost me but it was only $17 w/ custom mat and it is a 30 x 30. Can you believe that.
A basket from the thrift store for $4.. not quite as large as I wanted but it will work somewhere.
I found some drapes I think will work, they are a little darker.. but that is all I am giving away right now. Definately will get the pvc cut for rods... thanks Allison.
I can't move anything back to the porch for two three days.. so the wait is on. I think things are coming together nicely.. what do you think? Thinking about all of your suggestions, they are really good ones.. it gets me going!
Thanks for stopping by. At 99 followers.. Hoping to get past 100 by tommorow.. got a couple of things in mind for a giveaway I think you would like.
Hope it is sunny your way!

It's a lovely space whatever color you paint it!
Beverly, that change in color made a BIG!!!! difference. I bet you keep looking out the door with a smile over the change already.
And you did some great shopping this weekend, I need to get to work on opening my porch soon, thanks for the inspiration.
Your paint color looks fabulous. The porch is wonderful and so many great accessories to use. I can't wait to see it all done. Hugs, Marty

Your deck looks wonderful. What a difference a coat of paint can make! I love all the things you've accumulated, especially the clock, and am looking forward to the finished product.

I love your patio, it's great! I'm sitting here trying to stall because today I'm going de-weed and fix up the side yard. I'm going to post the before picture sometime soon and it'll be horrifying to look at to say the least! I'm hoping it will motivate me to finish it. Thank you for commemting on your blog about my sheep. I've been meaning to do that for years, but did't want fish through the Christmas boxes for them. This year I made sure they were within easy reach! Have a great week, Mary :O)
I'm glad I bounced back here. I really like the pillows you found, the fabric looks perfect. All of your thrift finds look like they are going to work really well, too.
LOVE the porch! :) Fantastic! I saw those pillows too at HD the other day and wanted to get them for new rockers for my front porch. I CANT wait for the day I have a screened porch!
Thanks guys.. got some new stuff for the porch today.. a new rug, so excited! Had to talk hubby into it. More pillows.. It is going to be comfy out there. Can't wait.. still waiting on paint to dry.. now I know why they used that saying to mean time is dragging..
Can't wait to see the final look! I'm sure it will be awesomely beautiful. Really appreciate you linking this up at the Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop :)
