Thinkin' Spring

This winter has been a "bit" long here in MN...and that's an understatement for sure! 
I thought I'd re-visit these pictures of my 3-season porch in hopeful anticipation of what's to come.
As you can see we kept it simple out here...which is a concept I'm still working on in the rest of the house...slowly but surely.  We used a few outdoor pieces indoors...like the always popular shutters.
A screen door...
And my favorite detail...our garden fence window treatments...just garden fence sprayed black and mounted to a piece of painted wood.  Simple but unexpected...my favorite :)

So come on Spring...we're ready for you here at the Putman house.  Would it be too much to ask for you to hurry it up already??? 

Happy weekend everybody...enjoy!

See you over at...

  11. We are finally having a spring-like day today but it is so windy, we still cannot be outside!

    We are planning on going to the Bachman House on April 1st. Yippee! Can you give me any recommendations on 'must see' shops for the afternoon? We might have some time on Saturday morning too on the way home to Nebraska.

    Thanks! ~~Connie
