Rhondi’s Porch Party

“Come sit with me out on the porch in early morn,
And watch a new day struggle to be born.
A tinge of orange upon horizon's breast
And stars now tired--flicker low and rest. “

Well, for now I’m going to recycle some old porch pictures….because I’ve got some sort of flu bug and didn’t get any pictures done today.

I originally had white wicker that I always wanted to paint black and never did.  My grandson was starting 4th grade that year so this must have been 5 years ago….

 

Then, one day I put all my wicker in the front yard and sold it on Craigslist.

 

For a while I had an old enamel top table and a couple of chairs….

 

This was last summer. Then I replaced

those chairs with some wonderful vintage bamboo chairs with vintage bark cloth cushions but while I loved to sit in them they were so low to the ground I couldn’t get OUT of them. LOL

Then one day, sitting on the curb behind my house was this couch my neighbor had set out for the GARBAGE!!!  It took about two seconds for it to be moved to my porch.

And I think it’s here to stay for a while.  It’s so00 comfortable and definitely is a napping couch.  Covered in a wonderful embossed leather like vinyl material it works perfectly on my porch.

Along with my wrought iron rocking chair my dad made for me.  I’ve added an area rug and an awning and if I start to feel human tomorrow I plan to take some pictures with the plants added.

I just couldn’t miss Rhondi’s porch party and you shouldn’t either.  Be sure and check out all the porches on parade today over at her place!  Thanks, Rhondi
