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!

Love the new cushion! Very you. (It actually matches the blog!)
Amazing!!! I love that double decker side table. So perfect for a patio! HomeGoods is also the best store on Earth. I always go in to get a couple things and come out of the store with about 10 other things I don’t need.
The porch looks great. I love the new cushion too.
Very cute! I bet Murphy loves it out there!
Tina it looks…amazing!!!
I love the colors you chose. Now you just need to go out there and put your feet up 🙂
It looks so pretty! I love how it is cottage-like and cozy looking. All you need is some lemonade and cookies, and you’re good to go! 🙂
It feels so good to make a room lovely. ^_^ Your sun porch looks great!
Oh I love it! I would sit out there with my glass of wine all the time 🙂
It seems like such a happy, calming place to relax. Congrats! 😀
Those tables are such a pretty shade of yellow! I love them!
Cute porch! I really hope our next home (who knows when that will be!) has a nice porch.
Ooh I really like the last picture, where you can see everything. Very cute… enjoy it!! 🙂
The porch looks gorgeous! I wish I had an awesome sun area!
Nice, that porch looks so cozy! I love the addition of the side table, it’s like a pop of color amongst the furniture.
Looks great Tina ! The pictures def make me want to come hang out on it 🙂

I love the little yellow tables – so cute!

My mother-in-law gave us tables like that but they’re stained dark brown. I love the cheery yellow you painted yours! Sounds like a DIY project in my future…
That looks great! I’d probably add some plants to the mix though 🙂 And Murphy would make a great accessory sitting on the bench!
looks great! I’d want to hang out there 🙂
That’s looking really cute! I’m very jealous! I want a sun porch!!
I need to come back, clearly, and come sit on said porch with you.
Looks super cute! Perfect for outdoor nibbling and sipping on cocktails!
That is gorgeous! You did a great job decorating. It must be nice to hang out there 🙂
Super cute!!
I love the sun porch! We have a deck, which is great for entertaining. I’d love to sit out there with my husband just to have a beer or whatever some evenings, but he kinda avoids outside. Plus, there’s no TV out there. LOL
Oh wayyy cute! I LOVE the yellow side table. Can I come hang out there too?? 😉
What a fun place to get some R&R! I love it! Make sure you use it tons during the nice weather. 🙂
Simple. I love it.
It looks great! We’re actually trying to figure out what to do with our front porch space too. Thanks for the inspiration!
yay! hope you get to enjoy some relaxing evenings out there soon. I’ve always wanted a screened in porch to eat breakfast in, and have a drink in during the evenings!
This is adorable. I love the sunny vibe!
Nice! Wish I had a sun porch!
I LOVE outdoor living space and yours turned out so cute! The yellow table is the cutest!
It’s so great to finally put together a house… looks wonderful!
