Done and (almost) done

Allllriiiight finally done with the porch (pre-decorating of course):











Before we actually started this overhaul, we estimated 2 weekends for full completion - HA!  Actually took about 5, with lots of stops and starts.  Either way, it was totally worth it - the transformation is totally satisfying.

We're going to wait until spring to really deck it out, but here's the plan.

A couple of these rugs:

Thom Felicia on Overstock
These lights draped all around the top:


Maybe some yellow and white striped curtains for privacy, or bamboo roll-up shades:





A trestle table, bench, and some chairs for eating and card-playing:


And a couple comfy chairs for settin'.  I have a classic rocker like this:


That i'm thinking of painting in mint:

Benjamin Moore Minty Green
I've also got one of these:


And I'm planning to paint the seat in mint - similar to these little stools:

The Surf Lodge - Montauk
Yet another reason for me to breathlessly await the arrival of spring...
