The after.
I finished up the front porch last week, and I'm proud to say that this project lasted 3 days (compare it so some of our never-ending ones...). The outdoor carpet was ripped up, the wood underneath was patched, sanded and stained, and the front door was painted. I bought an outdoor area rug (Home Depot - $60, and can also come with us when we move) and then did the planters (all existing, the tall ones are from Ikea). I looked into finding a used rocking chair that I could refinish and put out there, but I think that time and effort is better spent inside on the other projects at the moment.
The before (Halloween shot from a while ago, on the Saturday I started this project I discovered the camera battery was dead. I'm sure you get the idea.).
Close up of the planters and rug. I love that rug.

WOW! The after is amazing! Good job, K :) I need front porch/stairs inspiration...
so cute! love the rug, what a find. and your shiny black door too. hope you're moving to a place that's just as cute. are you staging the house?
I hope we can make the next place cute (fingers crossed!). :) I'll be definitely staging the house, I've been studying magazines for kitchen inspiration in particular lately...
I love this look, it reminds me of my porch. I just painted my door black too! Put out new planters, painted the trim white and painted 2 old rockers matte black with a pretty cushion. The rug is a great idea and your lighting way better than mine. Yours looks really crisp, great job!
