Side Porch Furniture

When I see expensive porch and patio furniture advertised  in newspaper and magazine ads, it makes me smile.

Virtually all of the furniture on our enclosed side porch has been purchased at yard or estate sales, in thrift shops, or given to us instead of throwing pieces out.

I don't think I paid more than $10 for a single piece.

It's amazing what a few nails and a couple coats of white paint  can do.

The photos in today's post show some of the pieces that are out there.

The two children's rockers, shown below, were put out to the side of the road in front of someone's house. 

The owner no longer wanted them and was delighted when I stashed them into the trunk of my car.

All the pillows seen I bought used, too. Just popped them into the washing machine and dryer so they'd be clean and smell nice!

Making do and using whatever can be found is tops in this house!

NOTE: Wait til I show you a photo of the chandy that's now on the porch!  

But that's a whole story for another day so stay tuned!
