The two lounge chairs are new, also a clearance item from Home Depot, they only had one at the time we bought them, however they had several at a Nashville store, and they were happy to ship one to Knoxville. :)
~These are the before pictures~

And, now the finished pictures, well almost, I have a clock and thermometer coming, hubby doesn't know that yet, he's not going to want me to put anything on that brick, but I will ask for forgiveness after I do it.....:)
~ Come on up, and take a look around~
Well, there's a glass of Sweet Tea for me and you!

Have had these rockers about 3 years, they finally have cushions for them

Okay Girls, I need your help, these are the new lounge chairs, I would love to have monogrammed pillows for each of these chairs, Ballard's, are to $$$$$, but if I can't find them for less $$$, Ballard's it will be then. If any of you know of another source please let me know. :)
~The little topiary bush and bird is new~ I will be adding some more greenery~

~There's DH, getting some R&R after a hard day at work~
~Oh, there is DS getting some R&R after his long day a work~
Well Girls, I have to tell you, I am really enjoying this new space, everytime I go past a window that over looks this porch, I take a peak and can't believe how much it now looks like another room in the house. As you can see, everyone is liking it.
Oh yes, here is the new member of the family. Ms Birdie...I have always wanted a real bird, but don't want to clean after one, so here is the next best thing...LOL:) Well, I have had Ms. Birdie for a while, but her home is new. I found her pretty new home at Carolina Pottery,she lives on the front porch, she loves it, she never complains, except she is looking for a Mr. Birdie, I told her to enjoy her single life as long as possible...LOL:) But, you all know that is birdie nature for Ms. to find Mr. or Mr. to find Ms. so I have a feeling Ms. Birdie is fixing to meet Mr. Birdie. Stay tuned for the rest of the story.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed the re-do and meeting Ms. Birdie. Tomorrow I will be sharing a Chicken Salad recipe that you are going to love. Another Recipe later this week and a little trip to one of my favorite little shops. I am so excited about my Pink Saturday Post, I can't wait for you to meet Emily and tour her pretty Pink room. Blessings to you all, Nancy

Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for the warm welcome~ I really appreciate it. Your patio is gorgeous. I love it all...right down to the tea glasses but I particularly love the little bird and Ms. Birdie. I have several little birds ( and a real one ) that your are more than welcome to come visit anytime. Your blog is gorgeous, too. I'm having issues with mine, but maybe that's normal since I just started it 24 hours ago. Thank you again and I hope to hear from you real soon. Jessica
Everything looks great Nancy ! I know you will really enjoy your new porch.
The porch looks WONDERFUL! Your family seems to be really enjoying it too :)
Well didn't you just do a SPLENDID job. It's like having another living room in your house. Everything looks so pulled together. Monogrammed pillows will be the perfect touch! You should be so very proud!!!!
Nancy,
What a great space you had to work with. I love everything you did, it all looks gorgeous and it looks comfy too which is great.
Hugs,
Sue
I'd love to join you for a sweet tea! :) What an amazing transformation, you did a great job! So nice that your family is truly using and enjoying this space. Ms. Birdie is SO cute, and she might need her "lovebird" to come along soon! ;)
Blessings,
Stacey
Hi on Etsy or ebay put in Monogrammed pillows, one of them I cannott remember which one, lol, has or will make u some for a really reasonable price. Ballard has great stuff but prices are a little high sometime,,, good luck! mishelle
Everything is so beautiful! I don't think there is one thing I'd do differently! I love the birdcage you found at Carolina Pottery. I am very close to calling my mom and asking her to go find one for me! lol
I have never commented, but enjoy your blog! Most towns have monogram shops that will monogram towels, clothing, pillows, ..just anything. If you can find pillows that are not stitched closed, you could take them to one of those. However, you probably want to buy or have some made from outdoor sunbrella type fabric. good luck, the patio is wonderful. Terry in Arlington, TX
ps--Robert is my husband! For some reason my comment uses his google ID. I am Terry..the wife!
Hi Nancy,
Your new "room" looks so inviting and is evidently very cozy and restful, from looking at your family enjoying it. I know it gives you so much pleasure looking out on it. It looks like a wonderful place to just get away from the world and meditate or read, or whatever makes you happy. You have a talent for decorating!I'm so happy for you and the new clock and thermometer look wonderful! I love them! I'm sure your dh won't mind once he sees them!
