At the end of March, I wrote a post that chronicled the progress made on our sun porch from when Mal and I first moved into our house. Basically, it went a little like this:
- November 2010 – January 2011: No action
- January 2011: Got a pair of side tables
- March 2011: Got a wicker bench and some paint samples for the side tables
- May 2011: Finally painted the side tables
- July 2011: Porch is finished!
Hey, it only took us 8 months to get it together. It could have been worse, right?
Here’s the final product, which is so much nicer than the semi-done photos that I posted in March!
New cushion from HomeGoods. (I just wasn’t feeling the striped one that I originally picked out.)
Rug also from HomeGoods.
Yellow side tables! Hooray!
Simple accessories gathered from other parts of the house.
Ta-da!!!
I’m so happy with the final product. It’s a great space to sit, relax and enjoy a cocktail!

That cushion really does match your blog!!! Looks perfect!!! I’d love to re-do my porch furniture sometime soon!! Where did you get those cute yellow end tables at? Cute!!
Disregard that last question–I just read your sun porch chronicles at the top of your page! 🙂 🙂
I’ve had a set of tables like that sitting in my garage for ages, but never seen them anywhere else before (minus my grandmother’s house years ago). Now I see this post of yours and read this earlier today: http://www.lizmarieblog.com/2011/07/dandy-lion.html that has the same style tables and painted in yellow, to boot! Love them. <3
So cute! I’d love to have a place like that to sit in 🙂
Love the yellow color chosen for the side table. I can envision that as a dark wood stain originally placed in a 1970s home. Much better looking!
I love your porch! It’s so cute! I really like that new cushion! It’s very pretty! Looks like a relaxing place to sit! 🙂
Absolutely beautiful, there are few things nicer than a relaxing time out on a sun porch!
It looks great! All of your hard work definitely paid off!
Wow I loveeee it! I wish we had a sun porch!
Looks so GREAT! Perfect to relax on and catch up on blogging and reading!
Beautiful! Looks like a true sun porch and so comfy.
Great place to sit on a summer night with a glass of wine and a magazine!!
