Simple and Relaxing...

Beautiful patriotic porch

Although we are patriotic all year round, the Fourth of July gives us a chance to truly celebrate our country. We show our true spirit with homemade red, white and blue cushions and pillows for our white wicker furniture, as well as a homemade bunting blowing in the breeze. We gather all the red and white flowers that the porch will hold and make it complete with laughter heard from our boys playing in the front sprinkler...Even though our porch is small, we make the most of it with family and friends as we celebrate America's Birthday.

Stars and Stripes Forever

This porch symbolizes the essence of America and summer time. The placement of the furniture, bright white with red and blue accents and flowers all around. Picture book setting. Lemonade, anyone?

Hail to the Red, White and Blue!
by: Debbie Poser

On a hot summer day, this is exactly the type of porch I would like to be sitting on with a glass of cold ice tea or lemonade in my hand! This porch reflects all that is great about America - pride in our colors, pride in our history, pride in family. It's inviting and cozy and beautiful and shows the pleasure the owners derive from their own little piece of the world. God bless America!
