I found these old shutters in an antique store in Southport, NC for $12 each. I painted them 'Charleston Green' which is almost black.
This beach access path runs right beside our house. The shutters give a little bit more privacy.
A little fish made from an old piece of fence greets you at the screen door.
The swing that my husband painted and hung is a favorite spot for all of us.
The ledges around the porch hold different treasures...beautiful conch shells...
pieces of drift wood...
and more beautiful shells.

| The blue and cream ticking pillows are from Pottery Barn. The little boat is my son's. |
Some old buoys hang in another corner and add some color to the space.
The metal 'moon' between the shutters was found at a flea market. South Carolinians will find anywhere to stick a palmetto tree or a moon (our state flag!)
These rockers were painted white, as well as, the Adirondack chairs on the adjoining porch to portray a simple and fresh look. Navy and white cushions are used on the porch and carry the color scheme from the family room.
I just love a porch!
Join me at these GREAT parties!

What a wonderful porch. I love those shutters and there is nothing prettier than a black green. Our shutters and front door used to be that color. My parents had it on one of there homes and I just loved it. Thanks for sharing your space.

What time do you want me to drop by?
You've taken me back to the porch of my childhood... I can hear the cicadas :-)
Your coastal porch looks like a great place to relax. I love porches! I love to sit out on mine and listen to the birds in the morning and the cicadas in the evening.
