Primping the Porch

It was a beautiful spring day here, a great day to pretty up the porch, which had been much neglected over the winter and now looked like this:

I will not plant my pots for another 3-4 weeks, too many below freezing nights left.  I wiped everything down with some soapy water. I made a coffee sack curtain to hide the mess under my potting table by threading the burlap onto a piece of wire strung between the table legs.

I used this toolbox that was full of this (there was fun junk in there!):

to make this little vignette.

I cleaned off my little table and chairs--$10 total for the set, purchased separately at garage sales.  I painted the tabletop.

I didn't do too much with the red chair and stool by my front door.  The stool is from my grandparents patio and holds many memories of fun BBQs and the red chair is from my in-laws place.  The black tubing is part of my drip system.

I can't wait to get some plants out here, but until then, it looks much better and is ready for morning coffee.
