I am loving Spring here in southwest Missouri! First the beautiful forsythia, then the redbuds followed shortly by the dogwoods.
I painted my front door navy blue (Valspar) and loving the color. If your like me when you saw the first rain boots used as décor you fell in love with the idea. I bought the tulips and left them in their pots and just put them in the boots, so perfect for Spring. I will cut the tops off of the bulbs and put in the refrigerator until Fall and plant them.
My old world urns were moved to the front of the porch and I added the ferns. Of note I don't replant the ferns, I just set the pot they came in, into the urns. They do just great and continue to grow larger.
Since the front door is now navy, I needed new chair cushions. Tutorial HERE.
I also made an envelope type pillow and added the grommets.
