I've seen some cool places this summer, but nothing beats my front porch. I love my front porch. It's not fancy. It's the front porch of our not-so-nice, plain, brown rental house. It may not be fancy, but it's really my favorite place in the world.
We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner on our front porch starting in late spring until it gets too cold in late fall. We have family meetings and games on our front porch. We read, we talk, we hang out, we celebrate on our front porch.
Last year, we made our beloved door table. This year, I added a few very cheap decorations which happen to be this week's Pinterest Poser Challenge.*
In an attempt at not being a Pinterest Poser,** every week I attempt and detail a project/idea/recipe inspired by Pinterest.
**My definition of a Pinterest Poser is someone who is all pins and no substance.
Inspired by the folks over on the blog A Beautiful Mess, I made a tissue pom pom garland.
I already had the tissue paper and the twine. So, I put the Gypsy Kings Pandora channel on and started making my decoration.
I simply cut out small-ish squares of tissue paper (approximately 10-15 squares), stacked them and tied a piece of twine around the middle. I then spread out the tissue paper and formed it into a ball. I tied each tissue paper ball to a long piece of twine and then hung it above my windows with two pieces of completely un-fancy silver duct tape.
I love the pop of color it brings and how it makes every day feel like a party.
