The Previous Version
In the past, the front porch has looked like this (and you can click that link for more information and photos).
Then I gave all of that furniture to my mom, which made us both very happy.
Sources
- Everything came from The Home Depot, since it was part of the Better Homes & Gardens Challenge.
The First Version
The porch looked like this shortly after we moved in.
You can read more about this early version of the front porch (and see more photos) here.
