Front Porches were Made for Sitting

A country home just has to have a welcoming front porch that invites one to "Come, sit a spell!"

Mine got a big jump start to it's final version a few weeks ago, when my daughter painted the sceenery gazing chairs red (including the spiderweb)

and found a pair of sconces at a resale store for a few dollars a piece. Her visions inspired me to take it another step and a few Habitat for Humanity ReStore finds of my own,

a bit of help with the taping,

 some black spray paint, glass jars and candles and we ended up with these

Side one is the perfect place to knit,  partake in good conversation and enjoy a bottle of wine while gazing at the so serene pastoral views that surround the porch,

while side two is the perfect place to knit,  partake in good conversation and enjoy a bottle of wine while gazing at the so serene pastoral views that surround the porch. You get the idea!

Just in case one need a reminder of the veiws from this wonderfully relaxing outdoor room...

So it you ever find yourself in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, USA...please stop by.

I'd love to sit with you a spell.
