How to Update Your Porch on a Budget

Показать описание

Hey y’all! Let’s give a modern spin to a country classic: the farmhouse porch. Mandi Gubler, blogger and DIY junkie, shows you how to make the most of your front porch without breaking a $300 budget. You don’t need a sweeping wraparound porch and a five-seater porch swing to reap the benefits of this farmhouse staple. Although who wouldn’t love that? Think about the things that you’d actually use with your family out on your porch. Let’s start with what you already have—we say this with any makeover, there is no need to toss everything. Shop what you already have to save money. Move furniture and decor from one room to another—or in this case outside onto the porch! This porch already has some great options; the painted shiplap-style ceiling which we all know is a farmhouse icon—so we can go steer the decor more in the modern direction. There’s no need to tell Mandi twice! This bench already provides seating for her family and looks so inviting—plus it makes the perfect spot for sipping lemonade. All it needs is some outdoor pillows. These are made of all-weather fabric and resist mold, mildew, and sun-fading. Mamas of the world, why isn’t everything made of this stuff? So, what do we need from here? A rocking chair. We could sit here all day. We won’t even apologize—this rocks! This wooden rocker was less than $100! Some wooden rockers can be very expensive but we found affordable options that make a big impact. We love the unexpected shape of this modern white planter, this ain’t your grandma’s porch—which we’re sure is just as lovely as she is. A geometric doormat will help keep the outdoors out, plus does it get any cuter than a hedgehog on a boot scraper? The cast iron is rustic, industrial, and the right amount of cool. The last touch before watching the sunset is a home sweet home reminder. There! Not bad for one busy mama! Thanks for watching! We hope enjoy these ideas for your porch, patio, or stoop! Happy shopping!
