Romantic Porch Re-Do From Mess To Magic

Okay-

HERE SHE IS!
You've heard of the 
Magic of Disney?
Well-This is the
Magic of Diana!

NOW you can

BE MY GUEST-BE MY GUEST

PUT MY SERVICE TO THE TEST

Remember yesterday?

The side porch of the dining room 

started out like this!

You can read about that HERE

(it's yesterday's post)

As soon as I had my first cup o coffee

I painted the wood seat cutouts.

Look at those little suckers all lined up

and waiting for me.

I spray painted them white

and will make special pads for them later.

Meanwhile I have some pillows I made

MANY YEARS ago.

I  STILL love this fabric.

I started with this

Then, I started layering using

Wedding China  and  part of 

Grandmother Clara's silver set.

The porch gets shade early morning

but by 10:30 the sun hits full force.

I continued layering

and added plants and my big birdcage

in the corner.

Here Comes The Sun

(another song to run through your head)

I added the cherub that reminds me of my

sweet little granddaughter Anna Bella.

She would be eight this month.

Where HAVE the years gone? 

The angel has a broken wing-

imperfect like life-but still beautiful.

It is looking so much better.

I still need some sort of all weather rug

but the big stuff is done.

The MESS and the MAGIC

Now-Come on down to my house, baby-

Come on down and we will play.

(another old song-I am getting as bad as 

Suzan over at Simply Vintageous....

she's a "trip" all by herself-she has songs

running thru her head like I do...yes...yes...

she IS blond)

Anyway- I'm ready for you now!

I'll even bake before you get here.

What time will you be here?

I want to make sure I am not

sitting around in my nightgown-
