SPRING PORCH DECORATED WITH BLUE AND WHITE ACCENTS

| |

I’m so happy you’ve joined me today – I’m sharing our Spring front porch decorated with blue and white accents, and I’ve joined up with a fun and fabulous group of bloggers to bring you our outdoor decorated spaces – you can see everyone on the tour at the bottom of my post. If you’re a first time visitor and you’re coming over from my very talented friend, Shelia of Maison de Cinq, welcome to our home! I hope you enjoy the tour today, and I’d love it if you’d stick around a while! As always, if you’re a regular reader, you know how much I love to have you here. The weather is finally becoming somewhat decent in our Northern climate, and it feels so good to be able to start pulling together some outdoor decor. We haven’t had too much time to enjoy this space just yet, but this little spot on our front porch is one of our favorite places to have morning coffee or a refreshing drink in the evenings.
Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix! I’m going to be honest – I pulled this look together literally in an afternoon. The weather has been so cold, I almost opted out of joining in on this tour. I happened to get lucky, when I saw that a decent forecast was showing for one day last week, and I ran out and bought a few plants and threw them in some pots. Please try your best not to pay attention to our gardens – hardly anything has grown yet, and I am very eager for some more greenery! So, if you can look beyond my sad gardens, I’ll walk you through what I used to create this look – it really was easy, trust me ;)Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!This is my spot, right here, and my beautiful view. We are at the end of the road, on a cul-de-sac, with no passing traffic except passers-by walking their dogs, and riding their horses. We’re very lucky to live in a wooded equestrian neighborhood – it’s quite the treat to have such peaceful surroundings.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!I bought these little purple flowers (I have no idea what they’re called because I am no gardener!) and put them in this pretty blue planter, atop one of my navy garden stools. I am a garden stool fanatic by the way – I have quite a collection and I use them all over our home. I have a really fun roundup blog post, (to read it, click here), if you’re looking for different ways to use them around your home.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!I have a few of these gorgeous blue and white planters that I recently found at Canadian Tire , to use on the back patio and I love the tribal vibe they add here – stay on the lookout for my backyard patio makeover coming soon! I planted some lavender in this pot, as well as another one at the other end of the porch. I really hope I can keep these plants alive! You’ll have to check back in the Summer to see how they do.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!I always love to add my touches of blue and white throughout our home, and believe it or not, this is the first year I’ve added it to the front porch. I use them on the back patio, with lots of layers of pattern and texture. You can visit my Summer Home Tour (here), from last year, to see what I’ve used out there. I really love how much my favorite colors freshen the look in the front of our home too. Aren’t these little tasseled pillows so chic? I love them.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!I used some of my newest finds to set up a little snack station and drinks to create this scene. Turkish towels (my new favorite thing!), a cute little metal tray and some blue and white dishes of course, are some of my go-to items for quick entertaining – all sources are listed at the bottom of my post – just scroll down to have a look. Last week I shared a rustic blue and white tablescape in the kitchen with some of these favorite things – read all about it here.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!I found the cutest navy blue macrame lantern, I love the coastal charm it adds to this spot and it helps build on this little bit of a ‘boho-chic’ vibe that’s going on.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!Layer, layer, layer! I love to use layers to add interest and dimension to any space. The porch is no exception! Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!On the steps, I added ferns to my planters this year, and I have to say I absolutely love them! I hope they survive. I am all about using anything that requires as little maintenance as possible, so I’m banking on these! The hostas are also new, and although they’re perennials, I love the way they look in pots.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!The arrangements in front of the door are so pretty and I was elated when I found them already arranged and in these cute little containers – from the store to the front porch – that’s my kind of gardening!Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix! Over in this corner, I added another potted lavender plant atop my second navy stool, and played up the blues and boho-chic look with a geometric planter (I don’t know what to put in here – any ideas?! Tell me below!) and a rope-wrapped orb with nautical flair.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!I also love to mix different pieces and bring together items you may not think of trying. I wasn’t sure if the look of my new potted arrangements would look cohesive with my more relaxed accents in blue and white. As it turns out, I love it and think it looks great. You have to try new things and experiment before you decide – there’s always a fun surprise to discover, I guarantee it! I use the same approach inside our home as well.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!I chose to keep the front door flanked with the pink arrangements, and use the blues everywhere else, to visually envelope them. I love to create symmetry wherever I can, and the front steps are perfect place to use it.Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!Create a chic Spring porch decorated with blue and white accents: garden stools, potted plants with some boho-chic and nautical pieces thrown into the mix!

    Janae, thank you so much! All such fabulous ideas, I love them so much, especially the lights for evening ambience! I’m so happy you stopped by to visit, thanks for taking the time to say hello!

  2. I LOVE the ready made planters!! I did the same this year and just transplanted them in my urns! The nautical wrapped orb caught my eye and will be a to-do list project this summer!!! In the tall geometric
    Planter you could do birch sticks, umbrellas, branches that already have the lights on them for some ambiance in the evening! Thanks for sharing! Checking out your post from last summer now!

    Thanks TJ!! I’m so happy you like it! We need to get more blue and white! I want some planters badly :)

  4. Tam-
    It looks so inviting out in the front, and the scenic passersby makes for interesting relaxation time!
    Blue and white is classic anywhere, and outside very fresh, and clean.
    You know me, I’m a big fan of symmetry as well, always get two!!! Or you’ll be back there looking for its mate!!!
    Great job!
    xoxo

    I love that you’ve included your signature blue and white through to the porch, it looks so beautiful! I couldn’t agree more about your cute accessories and personal touches – all your layering adds so much dimension to the space. And I’m a sucker for symmetry so your front door is right up my alley!
