When it comes to porches like this one, I really think it’s the concept of an outdoor room that appeals to us. Lucky for those of us who don’t own vintage farmhouses with gigantic porches, it’s still possible to create the impression of an outdoor room on a deck, patio, or lawn. I’ve searched the internet to find tutorials for five of the elements of this porch. Now it’s up to you to decide how to use them in your outdoor decor.
I want to be the first to introduce you to Tricia from Simplicity in the South. She is one of my new contributors and today is her big debut on Infarrantly Creative. When I saw her blog and her amazing style I reached out to her and begged her to be part of my team. I think you will realize quick how talented she is and you will want to spend some time over at her house checking out her projects.
I saw these adorable font art pieces at Uncommon Goods perfect for Mother’s Day. The artist is Patricia Carlin and she has all sorts of cool stuff on there. The ones I liked the best was the math equations showing the infinite love you have for your kiddos or grandkids. They are super simple to make using the online program Ipiccy.com and would be a quick gift for Mother’s Day this weekend. I also have a free printable to help you get started.
The sun is out, the weather is warm, the flowers are blooming and my allergies are in full effect. That could only mean one thing – spring is here! I am so totally thrilled to be moving on from winter. I get so excited this time of year to open the windows and let fresh air in, to go on bike rides with my kids, and to watch my kids wear themselves out jumping on our trampoline for hours. I thought I would showcase some of my older spring projects that are perfect for the least of the craftiest out there.

Last week I showed you some of the new fabrics from the HGTV Fabric line from Joann Fabrics. I decided to use the Ring Around Peacock fabric to make a sewing machine dust cover for my Singer 160 machine. The plastic one that came with it was terrible and I think my hot glue gun had attacked it. For some reason I kept pushing this project off thinking it would be hard to do. Once I got started I realized it was so simple and literally took me less than 30 minutes to make.
Last year I spent so much time stripping and staining our deck, updating our outdoor furniture and creating a nice ambiance out there with our firepit table. However, when the kids would go to bed and Tim and I would sit out there the outdoor patio light was harsh and bright. So I decided to add some deck lighting with some rope lights from Lowes to create a relaxing environment in the evenings.
