Fresh Spring Porch Decor

It's March first and I've got to tell you, that brings me a bit of hope that warmer days are ahead. Actually, today it is very warm and spring like and it is 83 degrees warmer than it was last Wednesday! I decided it was definitely time for some spring decorating on my front, covered porch.

I started with making a couple fresh, boho styled, front door "wreaths". 

These are very easy to make and only take about ten minutes each to create. A branch, some fake flowers, jute, floral wire, and a few wood beads are all you need.

I shared these faux lavender(?) flowers last week in the post below. They are from the thrift store. Use whatever flowers you like and that fit your style. I like the simplicity of these and the papery flowers. I wired them on one end of a 20" branch from my yard. You could use a dowel, a wood hanger, a piece of galvanized or copper pipe. I used floral wire and three o the faux stems.

I then tied a 5 foot piece of green jute to one end of the branch. On the end with the flowers I kept the tail from the knot long.

I strung six wood beads onto the jute and then tied it to the other end and cut off the excess string after the knot.

I added three more jute strings on the end with the flowers, leaving the tails different lengths.

I looped the top of the jute and hug two of these boho spring "wreaths" on my front doors.

They are fresh and something different from a typical wreath. The pop of purple adds a bit of spring and color to my porch.

In the corner on my old, green, wood wagon I hung the tool belt wall hanging that I shared at Christmas (HERE) on the propped picket fence.

I added a couple old, rusty, garden tools to the tool belt. A grapevine rabbit and a vintage, metal, lilac candy box (both from the thrift store) add a bit more color and texture to my spring front porch decor.

In the other corner of the porch I placed a bentwood, caned chair from the thrift store. This is going to get a repair and update in the future, but until then I liked the wood against the white house.

I grabbed the smaller thrift store gold pan I found a few weeks ago and threw some fake eggs in it. I tied some purple embroidery floss and green jute through the hole in the gold pan to incorporate a bit more color.

I am enjoying the spring like weather and am happy to have a bit of fresh color on my front porch. 

Have you started decorating for spring yet?
