I’ve had big ideas for this small porch since we moved to this house. It took Brent about a day to tape and paint the diamonds or squares (depending on how you look at it), but it’s exactly what it needed and just in time for Christmas.
Every week I join my friends Mary Ann and Cindy to share our favorite things of the week. This week I had to start with my little porch and Lynch Creek Farms for wreaths and greenery. I’ve ordered my greenery from Lynch Creek for several years, and they arrive fresh and stay fresh past Christmas. You can pick your approximate date, which will arrive in a beautiful red box! Great to send as a gift too!

2. Serena & Lily Favorites on SALE
These are items I have in my home from Serena & Lily, except for two that are on my wish list! Serena & Lily rarely has a 25% off sale, so if you’ve had your eye on something, this sale is the time to buy it! Every piece from Serena & Lily is timeless and can be used from room to room. Many of these things moved with us from our New Canaan home to our beach cottage.

Madeline introduced me to Anastasia Inciardi Prints, and I have been a repeat customer. I love that I can buy a little piece of art that is so meaningful for the person that loves to cook or just loves food, so basically everyone. I found these frames at Walmart, and they come in the sizes of the prints making it perfect for gift-giving. The print and a frame for around $10-$15.

LOVE the diamond patterned back porch. I want to order from Lynch Creek Farms, too!
Annie! Your back porch is fabulous. I’m a sucker for a black and white floor … what a great idea. And your greenery from Lynch Creek … so beautiful! It’s getting festive over there! xo
Small but mighty! This little porch looks fabulous, as does everything that you decorate.
Annie, Your porch looks so pretty and festive and Brent did a fantastic job with the painted floor. I love it. xo
