Porch Decor Ideas

Springtime has arrived so it’s time to revamp the porch.   I had this old starburst and looking metal piece that was yellow and tired looking.  I decided to repaint it and I’m LOVING the color green right now.  I think it’s a trending color now also so that’s a plus. I found this metal bucket that was laying around and filled it with soil, succulents and a few sprigs of asparagus fern. 

I had this placemat (from Target $6 – or similar ones from Amazon) and hung it behind it.  I created this sign years ago and it went together perfectly on this wall. I like to hang decor in sets of 3s.  Enjoy!

Bird Bath Planters

Creating a succulent garden in a birdbath is easy and beautiful!  Add small pebbles to the bottom for drainage.  Then add soil (it’s best to use a cactus type soil like this.) and then add succulents.  I like to pick out 3-5 larger succulents of various coloring.  Then add smaller succulents around them.  They will grow and spread so leave room in the soil for growth.  Add a little water each week and put in a sunny spot.  When picking out succulents, I usually get the ones that have been outdoors so they can easily thrive in the sun.   Reminder… in the winter, you will need to bring succulents indoors or cover with a waterproof warm frost cloth (moving blankets work best for this.  Enjoy!

Large Planter with scrap wood

Large Planters

We needed something to hide some equipment in our yard.  My husband built this planter out of scrap wood we had in our yard.  I stained it and it looks great and is serving it’s purpose of hiding an eyesore in our yard.  

 

It’s large and we did not want to fill it with that much soil.  We added old sheets and dirty blankets that had been used as frost cloth through the winter, then we added some large cardboard boxes and styrofoam that we had left over from an amazon order. We lined the blankets on the bottom to create a barrier for weeds and grasses.  Once it was 1/2 way filled, we added soil, our plants and then mulch on top.   We have a lot of deer in our area so we needed deer resistant plants.  In this planter I used Golden Privet and Black Shield Elephant Ears.
