Hello Friends! The sweet sounds of summer have graced our backyard! Birds singing again, leaves back on the trees, and the smell of fresh cut grass. While the world around us still feels uneasy and uncertain, I decided to shop my home for this years Summer Mantle decor, making it 100% FREE to me. It’s true I have collected quite the arsenal of home decor over the past few years of blogging, but as I pulled out pieces to use I’m reminded of the advice I always share when it comes to buying things for your home. When you absolutely love what you buy, then you will love the room you decorate it with even more. Making it decor to last through the years, not just provide a quick fix.

Painting our Farmers Porch
One of the questions I get asked quite a bit, whenever I share photos of our porch, is what type of finish we have on it. I’ve shared the process here on the blog before, and the original makeover was one of the first ever projects I posted about way back in 2011! We aren’t going that far back today, but since I gave our farmer porch a fresh coat of paint earlier this month, I wanted to share the process with you!
