Back Porch Update

In a brief burst of inspiration, I cut up my ultra-long fabric banner into three sections, and used it to add a dose of fun to the beige wall on the back porch.

Because we rent, I didn’t want to put any nail holes or anything on that wall, so hanging “real” art was out of the question. To hang the banners, I simply used some of the Command Velcro Picture hanging strips.

I think the coordinating blues and greens work perfectly in the space, and it’s such a welcome addition, because that blank wall was really grating on my nerves.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I believe it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!

    I love that you hung it there!  I’ve been trying to think of something to do on my large outdoor wall in the back…this would be perfect.  I could even use outdoor fabrics to help the color from fading.

    […] In the summer I dared to show the world just how redneck our back porch had become. Parties would not be happening here. I’m wondering if we just opened the back door and threw things out back. This ugly duckling sure became a swan of a space, though.  Check out the after below and the progress posts: Part 1, Part 2, and a final update. […]

    The porch looks cozy – it surely is nice to spend some time in this area as one reads the paper or enjoy a conversation with friends. So many outdoor activities can be done in this space when the weather is fine.
