Decorating a Warm & Neutral Front Porch

Happy Fri-yay, everyone!

Today I'm coming at you with a little daydream post. Sometimes I like to imagine a space as it could be and my imagination gets away from me, and today is no different.

Have I mentioned that we're moving? I haven't "officially" posted about it because I can't really share any photos with you yet since the previous owner's things are in all the pictures I do have, so unfortunately that's going to have to wait, but if I haven't officially said it, here it is:

We're moving!

 One of my favourite things about this mysterious new house is the front porch. It's not huge, but I think it might be big enough for a swing, and you guys...I really really really want a front porch swing!

Naturally I started scheming what this space could look like, so from the swing came cushions, lighting, black and white stripes... you know, the usual! And this is what I came up with.

And yes, that's a heater. Because the thought of sitting on a front porch swing on a cool Fall evening is just delightful!

You can see a bit more about each item below and daydream a little with me. Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
