I did a bit of an impromptu summer farmhouse front porch tour, after finding plants on sale at a local nursery. Last year I stuck with greens and neutrals, but this year I brought in a lot more color.
Summer farmhouse front porch tour video
I remember sitting on my freezing cold winter front porch back in January, promising you a flower filled summer porch in the upcoming warm months.
Through chattering teeth, I made a winter porch video showing off the icicles, winter greenery and a wood pile that stretched the length of the driveway. Summer was only a gleam in my eye.
Well, the other day I was thinking back to those promises and realizing I never did the summer video. Its funny how soon you can take something for granted. Yeah yeah its warm. Its been warm for months now.
But, man oh man, when winter rolls around, I will fondly remember old summer. That season where a bag of sandals in a tote bag replaces five pairs of socks and winter shoes. Dips in the creek count for baths, and kids can be outside before 7 am.
I wanted the front porch to reflect that easy summer vibe, with the colorful flowers, linen pillow covers and antique galvanized buckets.
Last year, for our farmhouse front porch makeover reveal, I kept it neutral with green ferns. This year I’m loving all the pink, purple, yellow and red that the flowers bring.
I also added a bold navy buffalo check pillow cover to the porch swing!
A simple bouquet of zinnias from our cut garden, in an antique blue mason jar bring in a little more fun summer color.
A few hostas, and galvanized buckets, fill in the landscaping a little more. All the perennials we planted last year came back bigger and better this year. We also added some fresh mulch for the summer.
How I wish summer would never end.
If I wouldn’t miss my family so much, I would just move down to Texas with Chip and Jo! Haha.

I am interested in buying material/fabric to make the ticking stripe/grain sack pillow and covering. Where can I purchase it and how much is it?
I enjoy watching your tutorials on you.tube. Thank you for your help.

Aww yay! So glad you all loved the pillow cover! We love making the personalized ones and hope they are enjoyed. 🙂
I wanted walk the path, hear the crunch under my feet and walk up those stairs to swing. Your porch is one of my faves. I remember pinning it during the fall with those pale pumpkins. I love it! Did you make that ruffled bench seat cover? So cute. And girl, you do not want to move down here to TX. It is way to dang hot here. Like yucky hot. Bleh. If I could convince my hubby to move some place where there’s 4 seasons I would. DON’T DO IT! Although if you did, I’d want you to start a book club or something so I could come visit your adorable home!
I will keep that in mind Cindy! Maybe I would just travel down there in the winter! We went to Waco in March and I fell in love with the temps, but I’m sure I would be singing a different tune if I went there now. Haha!Also, yes I made the slipcover and have a tutorial for it, linked above, if you want to try it! 🙂
Hey Lisa, I always love your style! I wanted to bring up something that concerns me. Showing your house numbers can give away your address. As you grow online, more eyes will be watching and some might not always have the best intentions. This is just something I observed happen with a few youtubers over the years, fanatics meeting them at their house and such. O.O Anyway, just thought I’d share. I’m so glad you do what you do! I have gleaned so much from your wisdom over the year or so I’ve been following you. Thank you and God bless!
Thanks so much JuliAnne. I totally understand your concern. 🙂
