I’ve been awaiting this day with bated breath…the porch is 99% complete (only need gutters and screens) and I am in love. I am going to put together a full reveal with all the detailed shots, sources and of course contact information for our amazing contractor, but in the mean time I figure if I don’t share it all dolled up for the fourth then I’ll have to wait another year. And y’all know patience isn’t one of my virtues. (Is anyone else singing “Patience is a virtue” from Thomas & Friends right now?)
A view from the back of the house. We’ll landscape that bed this fall when we have a much better chance of survival! The flag buntings are from US Flag Store.
We landscaped the bed and path leading to the porch earlier in the spring and it’s all thriving. Now, y’all come on in! The stairs showcase the pots I found on clearance at the Savannah Target and the lanterns are from WalMart. Mother was a doll and dug up the potato vine from the back of her yard AND planted the pots for me while we were visiting. They were looking pretty rough for a few days but they did come back, just as she assured me they would.
Mother helped me make a second set of red pillow covers for use at fourth of July and the holidays. The fabrics are both from Premier Prints. The flag pillow was purchased from Pottery Barn a few years ago. Sweet Land of Liberty DIY canvas (with free printable) project showcased here. A tutorial for the frame with the “Dixie Land” quote is on the docket.
The flag runner was a wedding registry gift ten years ago. A few flags in my giant clam shell dressed it up for the holiday.
The flag made from reclaimed pine is from Pottery Barn.
I had grand plans to make a fabric bunting for the sideboard but ran flat out of time :-) There’s always next year! We did get the yard shaped up and flags in most of our pots…
Have a happy and safe fourth of July!
God bless the USA!
xoxo

Oh my goodness…your porch is absolutely gorgeous! I am in love with every detail! All the 4th decorating is so charming, the skirted table / mono chairs/fireplace/chandalier = swoon! great, great work! Hope you will share pics of your party :)
Oh wow!!!Looks wonderful! You should not "undecorate" it for awhile even after the 4th is gone. Love it all…and your red print over the fireplace looks perfect! I know you will love using this room…even more if the weather would change to a little cooler.
oh my goodness – this is an absolute dream space and I'm pinning away for future reference. One day, my prince, i mean my dream home, will come! I just hired holly mathis to design my dining room, and she asked me where i drew inspiration and i pointed her to your blog. Totally loving your spaces!

I was trying to think of an appropriate word to describe this porch but there isn't one good enough! Incredible and beautiful don't do it justice. All your touches are wonderful. Love the PB wooden flag and all the pillows of course. Enjoy the 4th…you have the perfect place to celebrate!
It looks beautiful, Amanda! You are going to really enjoy that space. Have a happy 4th!

There are very few things that make me gasp, sigh, and say awww.. all at the same time. This is something that does. A truly stunning porch, would so love to sit there with a book and a cup of coffee… or several friends and several glasses of wine- haha!!!
Beautiful! LOVE the chandelier!
You really have some 4th of July Spirit going on! All I can say is you did good.
Be still my heart. Even the Hub's wants to know the sources you used. Love it!!!
It is lovely and my fav is the oyster chandelier!
I am pea green with envy my dear! Congratulations on this fabulous magazine worthy porch!
