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!

Fall Home Tour 2018: Front Porch

I was more excited than usual to decorate our front porch this year because we just completed a much overdue renovation of the porch which now has all new supports, stairs, and lumber all around. We have not gotten to stain the wood yet, but who knows when we’ll have time to do that, so I just went ahead and started decking it out for fall! This is a project we had on our list since moving in, as many of the boards had major cracking or holes in them, but somehow or another it always got pushed to the side. Now it’s as good as new and completely structurally sound as well.
