Sprucing Up the Porch: $4 Thrift Chair Makeover

I always dream about having a home with a charming wrap-around porch.
You know the type of porch to grow old on.
The type where the hubby and I could sit side by side in rocking chairs
& complain about our dentures and "kids these days".
In the mean time, I have a small porch....just barely big enough for a cheerleader high kick.
Not that I would know or anything.
I've been wanting to spruce up our porch with a chair for quite some time now so I was as happy as a clam when I stumbled upon this chair at our local Goodwill.
It was dirty & wobbly though and trust me, falling out of a collapsed
chair on my front porch wasn't exactly what I had in mind. 
But the hubby confirmed it's screws were just loose,
which is funny because he says the same thing about me too
.
Anywho, four bucks later the chair was mine.
And after a bath and two coats of white paint it's like a whole new woman.
Or in my humble opinion....it's the shizznizzle.
Especially after I added a blue pillow from World Market that I had been eyeing for awhile.

I just love how it compliments the corner of our porch
and all in all between the pillow and chair it only cost me $16.
Not bad considering there's a similiar wood chair from Target being sold for a few hundred!!
I just love me a bargain.
{Note to hubby: We didn't move. I just photoshopped our address to protect us from killer clowns {a true fear of his} & dognappers {a true fear of mine} Aren't we one joyful couple?}
And then because I got a little camera happy while outside
 you get to enjoy a little tour of my flower pots.





 Wasn't that fun?

So what's on your front porch? Flowers, chairs, wreaths?
Any thing you'd like to add to your little entry way?
