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!
I bet you are enjoying lots of relaxing time out on your sweet porch these days!!
