When I bought my house, I was really excited to have a large, covered back porch. The space was large and dated, so it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with it.
I am a fan of Scandinavian and boho styles, and I have always been drawn to cool tone colors. When I started with the space, I wanted it to feel relaxing and be a place to chill with friends.
I wanted there to be enough seating for a large group of people, and I wanted a hammock. Plus, I love swinging around, and I already had a porch swing (check out how I redid it here).
Before, the space really needed a fresh coat of paint. The concrete is also very uneven and patchy, so I was in the market for a rug to cover up the space.
I already had a large pallet coffee table that I adored (and was practically free to make), so I just needed the accompanying features.
Check out the before and afters:

I have always wanted have outdoor curtains, so I found these heavy duty curtains on Amazon
and an industrial curtain rod from Target.
I love these curtains because they block the sun when it is to bright, and as a blogger they are a great back drop!

– And of course, I had to get some ambient lighting. These string lights
come with glass bulbs, so you can replace them easily.
Just be careful with the box, they break easily!
I am absolutely in love with this new space. This was my first project I took out on my own, and the results have been amazing. I cant wait to start on more projects.
