Bought a few pillows at target (which got this project started and repainted the swing and glider. We recently replaced some of our 80+ year old windows and repurposed 2 of them for a decorative wall accent for the porch. Still planning to paint the floor a light green.

If I sat down on that porch, I would probably never leave. It is one of the most relaxing spaces I have viewed. I can almost feel myself there now. Very nice!!

This porch is the business. It is amazing and cozy and so southern and country; feeling just the way i like it.

Great job, you are very creative! When you go buy the paint, take one of the green pillows with you. A color leaning toward jade would be great. Ask the paint expert for advice, as you don't want the paint to peel later on! May you & your lucky guests enjoy your new space!

This is soooo inviting. I could enjoy an afternoon of reading or visiting on this porch with a glass of sweet tea. Thanks for sharing.

Budget updates to mint green bath, Replacing the mint green tile in my new (50's era) house was not in the budget so I'm working with it the best I can. My daughter and I made the wall art from our trips to Florida. I made the window treatment as well. The wall color isn't showing up very well on these pics. It's more like a sand color., Bathrooms Design

Work in progress, This is the living room in my new house. Added the glass tile to a relatively cheap mirror from Menards. Still have to grout it and figure out a good way to hang it because it's a lot heavier now. Any ideas for improvement are appreciated., Living Rooms Design

New Wall Color, We decided after 8 years with the previous yellow faux treatment it was time for a change. Definitely more neutral now. The color is called "spiced vinegar". New trim on window still needs to be painted., Bathrooms Design

Budget Kitchen update, Several people suggested painting the kitchen the same mustard color as the hallway. I toned the paint down by adding a little white first. I also painted the back of the hutch the same color. What do you think?, Kitchens Design

French country dining room , Took the advice from RMS for long curtains. Also, decided to repaint below chair rail the same red as above, in order to try to live with the border. I actually like it more now. Decluttered a bit and planning to paint the ceiling. , Dining Rooms Design
