{Come Sit, Get Cozy}

So let me show you a picture of boring...


That is how our front porch has looked for the last 3 months.
And the 4 months before that, it was completely empty.
And for the 3 years before that sat a lonely little sofa that evoked absolutely no emotion out of me.

And I like emotion.

This furniture was originally meant for the backyard. But when it finally arrived after being on back order for 4 months, and we put it together, I knew right where it REALLY belonged.

So up went a table out back that REALLY belonged there....

...and the vintage green gliders made their home out front.






{furniture: Grandin Road. seat cushions: homemade, but not by me of course. pillows: West Elm. lantern, vase, flowers: Crate and Barrel. star fish: Home Goods.}
I'm hoping the front porch now says,

"Come sit a minute. Get cozy. Make yourself comfortable.
And when you're ready, we'll go inside and chat some more."

 More and more I'm learning, emotion is what I'm REALLY looking for when I try to put an area together! Do you seek emotion when decorating?!!

If you and I were to have a chat, what would you want to chat about? Curious about this!
