One Room Challenge: The Porch Project Reveal

on May 7, 2015 in Home Decor/ One Room Challenge 151

It’s finally here you guys! After a long 6 weeks it’s the big reveal of the One Room Challenge Porch Project!

ORC

This challenge was a little grueling and I didn’t get everything on my list done but I’m happy that we have an really functional space. I’m not exaggerating when I say we’ve eaten every dinner out here since I put the tables out that it hasn’t been raining! It’s so great and we’ve already seen more of our neighbors than we have in the last year.  And that folks was the goal

IMG_5146

I’m not going to do much talking in this post because I know you all want to see the results.  If you missed any of the earlier posts and want to catch up from the beginning you can start here: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5,  So let’s get to it…

IMG_5093

The haint blue ceiling was a must for me and it might be my favorite element of the space. The color is Atmospheric by Sherwin Williams and it’s the perfect blue for the southern porch ceiling. Does it feel like it belongs in Charleston…no…just a little bit…??

IMG_5063

The light was a lucky score from our local Habitat Restore.

IMG_5121

IMG_5069

I built the tables and benches and spray painted these boring office chairs a bright aqua with my favorite Valspar outdoor spray paint, Koi Pond.

The curtains are plain drop cloths hung on rods made from conduit pipes. I used this tutorial.

IMG_5128

Simple aqua mason jars filled with flowers and fun bowls from HomeGoods are all we need for decor! The tealight holders are from Ikea and I found these citronella tealight candles on Amazon.

IMG_5067

Spring alfredo with zucchini noodles recipe coming soon to a blog near you!

IMG_5084

#twinklylightsmakeeverythingbetter Right?!?! I could just take pictures of the string lights and nothing else. These are from Target and they sell them in multiple colors which I love! They wouldn’t have been the same with green strings!

IMG_5119

IMG_5154

IMG_5118

I love how the tables turned out and the rich wood color is so pretty.

IMG_5125

I’m so happy with the decision to remove the rails! It completely opens up the porch and allows it to function as a dining space!

IMG_5150

Now I bid you good day and good night! Will you all come over for dinner al fresco next week???

One Room Challenge: The Porch Project Reveal

I hope you guys enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed finally finishing the space!

Just a few details that didn’t happen yet but they will…promise :)

1. Build Tables and benches, paint chairs

2. Pressure wash and ceiling and trim (didn’t happen)

3. Make curtains and rods

4. Stain/paint concrete (didn’t happen)

5. Hang pendant and string lights

6. Remove porch rails 

7. Remove bushes in front and replace with new landscaping 

7. Accessorize and style

8. Buy and hang fans (they arrived yesterday but I wasn’t able to get them up)

 

And…how do you think I did on the budget?  Well, the answer is not perfect but thanks to my Itsums board I knew where I was at all times instead of buying then worrying later which is usually how I roll. Check out Itsums for budgeting for your next project it really is a handy tool and plus it’s free!

I’m only $108 off…not too shabby right :)

Thank you all so much for loyally following along on this journey. It’s been hard work but so fun to see it come together.

Make sure to check out all of today’s reveals as well as the AMAZING participating blogger reveals from yesterday! Seriously so much talent in blogland right now!

I can’t wait until quitting time today so I can enjoy a celebratory drink out here!

Cheers!

      Hi Dianne! I’m so glad you like our home!

      I don’t have a document where you can see the exact floor plan but you enter into the open concept living area, dining area and kitchen. Two bedroom, the laundry closet and full bath are to the right off the living room situated on a hallway.

      The stair to the upstairs is at the back of the kitchen. Our home is technically as 1 and a half stories. Upstairs is the large master bedroom, bathroom closet, attic spaces and an open office area. Our home is 1502 sq. ft. Hope that helps!

      Thanks so much Marisa! Unfortunately that is the only paint color in the house that I don’t know. It was original to the house and I have since lost the can. I had to have a custom match made to do some touch ups and it wasn’t an exact match :( Sorry about that!

    Absolutely love your front porch. I would love to decorate my porch but wonder how you can keep it so clean and fresh. We have so much pollen and debris from our trees that I would have to scrub everything EVERYDAY. What state do you live in? I just found your blog and will start following as you are Amazing.

      Thanks so much Marie!!! We are in NC and although we do have a lot of pollen and I have to wipe the table off every time we use it we don’t have a lot of debris. We don’t have that many trees in the front of our house so that helps :) Thank you so much for following along and I’m so glad you like it!!!

    What an amazing transformation! A true job well done. I adore the color palette you selected. It feels fresh and fun. The six weeks went by so fast. I completed our entry, living and dining areas in a new to us 30 year old house. So, cheers to us! Have a wonderful weekend.

    Summer, WHAT a fun space! I think you are going to absolutely live out there on your porch, and it will be such a fun space to use with friends and family!!! The Koi Pond spray paint – I need that in my life! You know I am just dying over the tables you built, but the drop cloth curtains, the light, the beautiful urns with the ferns, all beautiful!!!! Enjoy!
