For those of you that have been following #theneverendingporchproject on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, this post is a long time coming. \u00a0Almost a year ago, I started working with Jeff at Great Falls Landscapes<\/a> on the concept.<\/p>\n

\"Porch<\/a><\/p>\n

We worked for weeks on the plan.. And finally came up with perfection.<\/p>\n

\"Porch<\/a>There were a lot of changes along the way. And while it took what seems like forever to build, I couldn’t be happier with the end results. \u00a0It’s funny, before finding GFL, I had initially hired someone else, and ultimately fired him two weeks in due to his lack of creativity. \u00a0So glad that I found them! \u00a0Jeff and Lance were amazing to work with and really “went” with my crazy ideas..<\/p>\n

\"Porch<\/a>(This was right before E’s Party.. pics to come on that later..)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Porch,<\/a><\/p>\n

We also added a flagstone patio and fire pit, which has earned quite a few miles in s’mores prep!<\/p>\n

\"Patio\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adirondak chairs and garden stools… HomeGoods. \u00a0I spray painted all of the garden stools gold to give them a consistancy.<\/p>\n

\"Back<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, mint and coral are the colors du jour inside the porch… It’s such a happy place!<\/p>\n

\"Outdoor<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Macaroons\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aren’t these macarons<\/a> perfect?!? \u00a0Love the colors.<\/p>\n

\"Macroons,<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Bar<\/a><\/p>\n

This bar table was a refurb from our family beach condo reno<\/a>. \u00a0So glad I saved it. \u00a0\"Bar<\/a><\/p>\n

\"tabletop\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Seashell<\/a><\/p>\n

I worked with Manoli Designs<\/a> on the chandelier. \u00a0Hannah is fantastic to work with. \u00a0Heightened attention to detail… Which is perfect for yours truly.<\/p>\n

\"Mint<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought the two head chairs at HDC Home<\/a> in Charleston. \u00a0They were great to work with! \u00a0Painted them mint and recovered the seats with white Sunbrella canvas.<\/p>\n

\"Console<\/a><\/p>\n

I used a Malm table<\/a> that doubles as a buffet. \u00a0It’s great for outdoors!<\/p>\n

\"Florals,<\/a><\/p>\n

Now for the other half of the porch… The sitting area!<\/p>\n

\"Porch,<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Windowseat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pillow sources\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Mantel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a painting party with the girls after school one afternoon. \u00a0This piece was my creation. \u00a0I love this painting… Reminds me of that day! \u00a0(There are also a few little splatters of paint on one of the Ikea rugs<\/a>\u00a0just in case I need more reminding. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Sitting<\/a><\/p>\n

The sofa is Ektorp<\/a>. \u00a0The coffee table (and basically everything on it) \u00a0HomeGoods.
\n\"Porch<\/a><\/p>\n

\"HomeGoods<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember\u00a0these chairs<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"Chairs\"<\/a> \"HomeGoods<\/a><\/p>\n

And this HomeGoods<\/a> side table?<\/p>\n

\"Pillows\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, you can never have too many pillows.<\/p>\n

\"Porch<\/a>We couldn’t be happier with our new outdoor living space. \u00a0We have officially spent more time in our backyard in the three short months since this project wrapped than the entire ten years we’ve lived here. \u00a0I have a few small projects to finish out here. \u00a0I can’t wait to share them!<\/p>\n
