Last week was pretty exciting for me . .
~ ~ as many of you already know, my home was photographed for a shelter magazine.
This week, I shall be catching up on my “Spring To Do List” . .
~ ~ and one of them is my front porch.
If you missed my Upper Porch . . you can view it here.
I chose to go with lots of yellow this year…such the happy color!
(The right side of the porch)
The left side of the porch . .
I love filling my vintage child’s wagon with flowers . .
My friend Julie, a floral designer . . and my antique booth partner . .
~ ~ made these beautiful wreaths for me . .
I love how they look on the doors. . .
The flowering hanging baskets are in front of the master bathroom window…
~ ~ I love seeing these flowers from the inside of the house.
So happy to enjoy the flowers of Spring!
Hope you enjoyed my Spring Front Porch today . . .
And to choose to “Live Everyday In Abundance”
~ ~ for as my mom would say, “It is a great day as I woke up and saw the sun” !!!
Have a beautiful day!!

All of your flowers are so pretty on your front porch. I really like those big floral wreaths on your front doors though! They set the tone for the rest of the porch decor.

Beautiful, Shirley! I would love to sit on your porch and just take that all in. Are the urns filled with ivy or is that something else? Love the purple flowers in the wagon. Geraniums?

I love the door wreaths and I am determined to have dahlias, somewhere in one of the gardens. Your yellow dahlia is wonderful. Everything looks absolutely beautiful, Shirley!

Hi Shirley! I’ve been gone and have missed your beautiful posts! Look at your front porch – it’s just so beautiful, welcoming and cheery! Everything you touch turns to sunshine. I love those gorgeous wreaths and the little wagon with flowers is darling.
Be a sweetie,

It’s all so pretty and definitely says spring. I am living vicariously through you as I am following the Colorado rule of no potted plants outside until Mother’s Day. However, I am enjoying my red and yellow tulips which are in full bloom.
Mama is a smart woman! Did they take any exterior shots last week? Just this morning I spruced up the containers. My mom and sister are coming this weekend for lilys recital.

Oh Shirley, you never cease to amaze me with all your prettiness. The front porch is stunning and is so welcoming. Your friend did a wonderful job on your wreaths and I like how you used yellow – really brightens everything up.
Have a wonderful Spring week – we are expecting 90’s all week. To hot for me this early in Spring.

Shirley,
I love how you use lots of carefully chosen accessories to decorate with, but it never appears to be too much or cluttered. That is definitely a knack I lack! I love the impact of the yellow, and those wreaths are absolutely gorgeous–I need to make friends with a floral designer. 😉 I do believe your flag says it all! Thanks for sharing all your beautiful touches.

Omigosh I want your doors, or at least one of them. No need to be a pig about it, just send me one of yours and wall up that side with plywood. No one will be the wiser 🙂
Lovely porch, gorgeous home – you are a wonderful decorator!

Love your porch! Also love the tall, skinny bushes flanking your windows with the hanging baskets. What kind of bushes are they? I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like that and could use some. Enjoy your lovely porch 🙂
I love love the porch!! I’d just love to sit there and watch the world go by. The wreaths are lovely. Can I come over and just sit there for awhile.. I promise I won’t tell anyone where I am..they’d want to come too!
Shirley- The front porch looks as gorgeous as the upper one does. You did a wonderful job out there and the gal that made the wreaths did a spectacular job on them What fun! Your yard that I can see looks beautiful, too. I love how things grow in the South. We don’t have the luxury of a long growing season here. Love your little corner with the old wagon, too. Lovely!!! xo Diana

Awesome front porch Shirley! I love yellow flowers too. My eye went to the two smaller lanterns hanging from the big metal frame. Nice touch.
Shirley, your porches always amaze me and this time it was no different. LOVE the pieces on the front door. So much spring beauty.

Shirley, your wreaths are gorgeous and I love the sunny yellow color. It really brightens up everything and just says spring! Your flowers are all so pretty. We’ve been so busy that I haven’t replanted my outdoor planters but I’m hoping to get around to that in a few days.

So enjoyed seeing your beautifully decorated porch, but I must add that the entire time, I was saying to myself that I must get busy! All I have on my porch right now are two empty urns – oh, how I am falling down on the job. Thanks for giving me a push – lol!!
Beautiful wreaths Shirley! Spring never looked better than on your front porch!
