SOUTHERN SUMMER Front Porch Clean & Decorate With Me! 2022 

Very inviting porch looks cool and refreshing. I vote keep rockers white, might show dirt but not dust.

White…….the porch looks beautiful 😍

Great job on your porch! I think the rockers are beautiful in white😄

Great job on your porch! I think the rockers are beautiful in white and what a great deal you got on them!

It was so nice seeing your husband helping you getting it together ❤ everything looks beautiful. Leave them white, I love them

I vote white on the rockers with a pillow covers in a black and white stripe...the best of both worlds!!!!!

I would leave the rockers white. You have alot of other dark accents. 😍 maybe some black and white print seat cushions on the rockers.

Hi : i like so much your style decor ideas in your porch so beautiful!!! 💓 have a great weekend ❣️

I like those chairs white . Black gets hot and could burn the little ones . With the extreme heat of Florida white is better to live with . Your porch looks great ❤️

Great job on decorating your front porch. The only plant I can't keep alive is a Fern.

The white chairs go with the banisters on the porch. Nice video.

I went black accents on my front porch and I love it! Several people passing our home, stopped and complimented us on the changes.

Beautiful porch make over simple and lovely relaxing place you did a great job I like how you turn you porch for your family breakfast .

Dry pretty. A good wash always does wonders. Love it all.

Yes black ❤

Love it ❤looks like our Alabama southern porches 😊😊😊

Que hermosos los tapetes de la entrada 🥰 y la nena disfrutando del clima ☺🤗 saludos me encanto el vídeo

Definitely Black, I have two black rockers on my porch and absolutely love them.

Keep them white 😍 the porch looks great!

I know it goes against the current trends and perhaps color preferences, but a tweedy look in darker tones whether neutral, blue or green are a busy mom's best friend when it comes to camouflaging kid and pet dirt :) It's great that your cushion covers are removable and washable - saves a lot of money. I've seen people on RU-vid throw cushions away because they've gotten dirty and perhaps they don't want to be bothered with cleaning them or buying cushion covers that are removable and washable. I don't get it, as I sure don't have money to throw away every season to buy new the next. I store my summer furniture, cushions, rugs and covers in a covered shed, that saves a lot of wear and tear that otherwise would buiild up over a winter, especially where I live in southeast Wisconsin. Mosquitoes get bad in the summer where I live, too. My 3 sisters and I are all "bug magnets" - research has shown that some people produce pheromones that attract insects, and it's more women than men. The suckers will bite me even through Deep Woods Off bug spray! I have a screened gazebo on my patio, which really is a life saver. It looks like you have a screened porch or patio area, which is great! If you want to try to grow roses, look for the "Knock Out" brand of roses. I couldn't survive a Florida summer myself, I don't know about roses, but the Knock Out brand is said to be extremely hardy and resilient and the spent flowers do not need to be dead-headed. It will also rebloom several times during the warm growing season.

I painted all our rockers black. It matches the front door and shutters. LOVE THEM! Holli in Texas

How sweet it is...

Everything looks beautiful

I love the porch ❤

Hi I am happy that I found your channel, I like your home and you made the porch with so much love! I like that you are Christ followers too and that you are not ashamed of it 🙏🙏👏👏👏 just subscribed:) thank you for sharing greetings from Austria 🇦🇹😍🤗🤗🤗

I love the way the porch turned out, I live in California (southern) and we don’t get a lot of seasons here either, but I do have to say it is easy to plan any outdoor activity, we are lucky here we do not get a lot of mosquitos sometimes in the summer but not to many. I think I would paint the rockers I think it would allow them to stand out more. I think Roses are easy to care for just plant them in mostly sun and they will do fine.

Welcome to Florida! I am also a Florida girl and you are so tight..the mosquitos are relentless. Your porch looks beautiful! O thing like a big breezy porch!

Beautiful job! 🥰👵🏽

Love the music that went along with it.

Love it 💕

First time seeing your video. Plant City, has the best strawberries 🍓, watermelons 🍉 and other fruits. I live in a small town just west of Tallahassee. My Dad, was a truck driver and would haul seafood, to Plant City. He stop and bring home some fruits from their. Miss those days. As a life long Floridan, keep your rockers white. Black just attracts heat. For the mosquitoes and yellow flies citronella helps and Downey dryer sheets help some. Welcome to Florida.

I LOVE front porches!! So inviting! We indeed use ours a lot in the summer time 😎 Always the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon lemonade, and an evening glass of wine!

Love it!! Great job!!🌹

Great job! Keep rockers white...porch looks cozy and welcoming!!

I love the white chairs it’s all beautiful

Your front porch looks lovely and I could sit out there for hours. ❤

So beautiful!

Beautiful transformation 🥰💜

Love it all! Thanks for sharing!! Oh by the way I totally understand the mosquitoes and no seasons. I’m born and raised in Texas, however my hubby and I live in Alabama for the last 2 years and were loving the seasons and really not much mosquitoes♥️

You have a lovely inviting porch! Great taste!

Hello. New to your channel. So glad I came across it. Porch looks amazing. You did a wonderful job. I'm in TN. I like the rockers white.

I would keep the rocking chairs white. I would put cushions with lemons on it !

Beautiful.

The rocking chairs look good in white or black cuz the door is black but the window frames are white so either color

I think black paint would make them hot to the touch

Team work that’s good ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️

Neat house! You always make everything look amazing. We’re in Idaho, it’s been raining a lot here. Thanks for the inspiration

We live in Louisiana and we love those Boston Ferns I have them hanging on my front porch

Beautiful decorating and house ! I like the chairs white ! I live in Baroda Michigan, it’s just starting to warm up here .🌴

I can so relate to the plants 🪴 New subscriber from England 🇬🇧. Loved the porch refresh x

your porch looks beautiful..just found your channel...look forward to following you...

First time watching 😊

Girl it looks beautiful I’m from Texas

Oh forgot to tell you get the knockout roses they are very easy to care for ...very easy maintenance except clipping after flower dies....And will rebloom for months esp. in FLA.. I live in SC they start blooming early spring and up to Nov...

Bring those hanging flowers down to eye level..you'll enjoy them more if you can see them

❤❤❤

The bugs love you because you are from Pennsylvania lol. That is where I am from. When I visit Florida they swarm around me. Your porch looks so inviting! Love the simplicity of it! Great rockers yes I think paining them black would be nice however, I read dark colors attract the bugs. 🦟

Also use Lemon Candles You can also make a lemon candle get a plain white candle and get some lemon extract aromatic drops, and when a liquid melts put a bunch of drops inside melted liquid. lemon and eucalyptus, they say all natural ways to get rid of mosquitoes also, I just burn a lemon candle Spray some eucalyptus around the patio area when we outside. Lemon grass plants in pots are on my porch & patio also

Your home is BEAUTIFUL. I would LOVE 💕 to have a porch like that. I just move here to Florida too. Very Hot 🥵 but I LOVE 💕 being here. Lots to do with the kids. Thanks For Sharing

New Zealand, we're in the last weeks of Autumn. June 1st is the start of Winter in the Southern Hemisphere 😊

Personally I'd keep the rocking chairs white but add black cushions.

Oh gosh, where did you get the rubber mats for the stairs? Love them❤️

👍👍👍

Hello lovely transformation ❤️new subscriber

I would keep them white, the black is so much harder to keep clean. Besides a little wear on the white makes them look better.

Those bands are great for all bugs that bite you

Try knockout roses. They are more resistant to pest and drought.

Everything looks so beautiful. What color did you guys use to paint your siding?

Oh my ! I would really keep the rocking chairs white because black will show EVERY spot of pollen and dust!

Love the style!! Hey where can I get those rugs?? ❤❤

Your porch looks beautiful 🌸🌺🌷I would leave the rocking chairs white plus the mosquitoes love to hide in dark areas trust me I know ☹️

Have you ever thought of adding a ceiling fan on your porch

Last year I painted my white rockers black . Love them ! If you decide to paint yours black and don't like them, you can always paint them white again 😉

I’m in Pensacola! It’s sooo hot here

White! Contrast with door.

Black chairs

Okay it must be a glitch in the matrix. Did you just post a picture of your porch in the Aldi of Shame FB group, showing off your Aldi rug???? If so as I was admiring the porch and your video popped up in my YT browsers. Was not previously a subscriber of yours!! Crazy if so but your porch looks nice!!!

White chairs can be bleached and spot cleaned.

You need to paint them black

You look old but then I'm nice pieces to have I would go ahead and paint them black I don't think you would regret it they would pop they'd stand out they'll never get that dirty and they're really show off your front door your front door looks really nice you can put one chair on the left of the door and the other chair on the right of the door and you would be able to see that coming up in your front yard and that would look so pretty especially right next to a plant

White

you should try to film in 4k!

I have the exact furniture on my little side screened porch. I was so disappointed in the cushions. They started molding within a few weeks, yuck. I even covered them with another material and found they still molded underneath. I would never recommend this type cushions. I have no animals on mine and my porch is screened and only has three sides that has dampness, I have one side boxed in. Just a note. I love your diys. Blessings!

Leave white

Paint chairs a stone color.

Please don’t let flower pots hold water mosquitoes 🦟

Your tall planters with the ferns on your front porch would look nice painted black as well as the rockers. It would give it a more cohesive look. The trick to taking care of plants is buying ones that are appropriate for sun or shade and not to over water or underwater. Check the top of the plant by putting your finger a few inches into the soil and see if it feels dry or or wet. These is your clue to water or not to water! There are so many RU-vid videos of people giving great advice on plant care! The ferns look very pretty on your porch. I lived in Florida for 8 years after being from the Midwest and I just could not live without the change of seasons. To me it is just a part of life. I look at it like this, it is the way we ourselves have seasons of our lives and how boring to be stuck in the same one all the time, but to each their own way of living! Enjoy your pretty porch!

Get a Thermacell. Keeps mosquitoes and flying pests away.

Your voice is very low and the music is somewhat loud but enjoyed your decor 😅

Great videos. One tip. If you do voice overs please keep in mind the volume of your music vs your voice. It’s annoying to have to turn the volume up to hear you speak and then turn down cause the music is so loud. It can really turn viewers off because no one wants to be turning volume up and down constantly through an entire video. Some will just click off the video like I did.

Your hanging baskets need to be dropped down some. They are too high!
