So many green porches/patios this year! I did find the cushions at HD the other day but opted not to get them as I’m still searching for the perfect pillows for my space. I see you have concrete/porch paint – can’t wait to see what color you use since I’m doing the same thing once it warms up in MI (can you believe it snowed yesterday?!?).

Hey Jamie,

We’ve actually been cobbling together a mental mood board for a while now (along with about a million lists- we’re such list people) but time will tell whether we’ll actually create a true mood board or just skip to the execution part (since we’ve already started shopping I’m betting on the latter). Mainly we put mood boards together so other people can “see” how all of the elements that we dig up will work together (sometimes it’s hard for them to picture certain textures and patterns together until they see them on a mood board and things click into place). We’re pretty good at visualizing how things will mix & match (and we’re big fans of letting things evolve as we go when it comes to our own home) so we’ve actually never made a mood board for ourselves (even the big kitchen renovation came and went without a single mood board!). It’s probably because we’re just too excited to roll up our sleeves and get started. Impatient is my middle name. Stay tuned…

xo,
Sherry

Wahoo! So glad you guys are sharing in our porch pimping excitement. We’re super psyched about the challenge and have been spending every spare minute brainstorming and strategizing. We want to squeeze every last minute out of those 48 hours and every last dollar out of our budget. Here’s hoping we make you proud!

xo,
