Summer Porch Refresh with Joss + Main

Summer Porch Refresh with Joss + Main

Every year I love to give our side porch decor a little refresh for the season including a good deep clean and something new- whether it’s new pillows, a new rug, or just new planters! This year I did a little more than usual, as I had kept things very similar the past few years and was ready for something new! Thanks to Joss + Main, my porch is now refreshed and ready to go for the rest of the summer and beyond! I was able to find both my new bar cart and set of gorgeous white planters at Joss + Main, and they really make such an impact on the space. Scroll down to see more photos and shop some of my favorite new pieces from Joss + Main!
