New Lamp For The Porch & Big Changes For The Porch Fans! Psst: I Like These Better!

March 30, 2026 by Susan 10 Comments

Welcome to the 896th Metamorphosis Monday! On Saturday, I shared a photo of this outdoor lamp that I had ordered. This lamp originally sold for $133 at Home Depot. I lucked out and discovered it available on eBay for around half that price. The timing was perfect since the vinyl, wicker-style lamp I'd had in this spot for many years was beginning to crumble and fall apart whenever it was … [Read more...]

7 Big, Beautiful Wreaths For Autumn, All 60% Off! Amazing Fall Sale!

September 29, 2023 by Susan 4 Comments

I've been doing a bit of wreath shopping online today and I was super excited to find an incredible sale! All the wreaths in this post were originally $90-$100, but are currently marked down to between $36-$40! That's 60% off! The thing that really caught my eye is how big they all are! Usually, when you find wreaths in the $40 range, they are really too small for most front doors. Not these! Every wreath … [Read more...]

A Beautiful Addition To The Front Porch, Can You Guess What It Is?

June 19, 2023 by Susan 44 Comments

Welcome to the 751st Metamorphosis Monday! Quite a few years back I added two benches to my front porch. If you've been reading BNOTP for a while, you may remember this porch below. I came across this home/porch many years ago in a Southern Homes magazine and it was the inspiration for the front porch that I had added to my home back in 2008. Notice the benches on the inspiration porch. I … [Read more...]

Screened Porch Updates: Welcome Spring!

April 11, 2016 by Susan 58 Comments

Welcome to the 376th Metamorphosis Monday! The past couple of weeks have been busy ones. With friends coming to stay for a few days, I threw it into high gear and cleaned all those places that never seem to make it to the top of the cleaning list...things like shutters and molding. During my cleaning frenzy, even though the pollen siege wasn't quite over, I wet a tissue (a la Mom) and tried to get … [Read more...]

May 5, 2014 by Susan 41 Comments

Welcome to the 275th Metamorphosis Monday! I love, love, love how the days are getting longer. Okay, the days aren't really getting longer but you know what I mean. The daylight is staying with us more and more and I just love it! With more daylight hours for playing, it's time to get out there and spruce up our outdoor spaces and that's exactly what Mary and Dave from Front Porch Ideas and More did … [Read more...]

Summer Breeze Makes Me Feel Fine

April 17, 2013 by Susan 92 Comments

I couldn't stand it. It was a gorgeous day yesterday and the porch was calling, begging me to come out and play. Pollen, you are not the boss of me! I liked Lisa's idea from yesterday's post of just covering the seating areas with sheets during this high pollen season. Then when you want to enjoy the porch, you just remove the sheet and replace it when you're done. Sounds like a plan! The fans … [Read more...]

A Garden Seat for the Porch

April 21, 2012 by Susan 24 Comments

When I last left you I had purchased this cute little garden seat for the screened-in porch. That was the plan. Well, you know what they say about "best laid plans." Once I brought it upstairs... And tried it out as a little side table for this reading corner in the guest room, I didn't want to take it away. I really, really liked how it looked here. So … [Read more...]
