pimp my porch

sitting on the porch this afternoon, looking at the peeling brown paint, and bogged down by bland, i brought out my large multicolored rug, dropped it down, and plopped back down on my seat.

still bland.

then, despite a massive hangover, i became motivated to makeover the porch.

rock sea was my inspiration.

layering blankets, rugs, and two wool winter scarves, i "carpeted" the floor, after which i hung one strand of white xmas lights around the edge since the one porch light created a feeling of being pulled over by a suspicious cop with a flashlight. i then hooked up speakers that any ipod can connect to because music is a must.

when it got dark, i stopped and enjoyed the space.

next up: cushions lining the edges for seating, a mini bar, some interesting art work, candles in quirky glass containers, and drink holders.

welcome to The Porch, where the living room has spilled out and over the entire front of the house.

have a drink.

listen to a little night music.

and please remove your shoes.
