SiT, Stay for awhile
I have some fun projects I would like to Share with you. So I hope enjoy your stay, and if you don't mind take a Seat on the front porch, and Sip a little Something!~
As you can see a little paint transformation. My friend gave me this cross as she had no where to put it after she purchased it....well after she saw how I displayed it, she wanted it back...NOTTA happening.....
I also painted the watering can, it was a copper color and I forgot to take the before. Then I decided I would add some numbers to it. I may have to distress this cross...the more I look at it..I need to rough it up a bit. Next project in order now.....
This was a fun little project on windy day... I still have some yellow paint on my knees from a couple of days ago....anyhow we see these pots with the numbers on them and I thought I would give them a try....I chose the bright yellow because this is on the side of our home where the mailbox is...and we are forever getting other peoples mail, and Dominos never knows where to go....so THERE in your face you can see the address now!~
I used house numbers that you buy in a package at Walmart for I believe $6.00, however you receive 30 of them...so that is pretty good.....I ran out of black spray paint and have to pick up another can so I can finish the bottom of the planters.....that will drive me nuts! Not a far drive if I may add.....

I love those yellow pots Debbie.I would never think of such a bright color but it works! Wow, you sure are creative.
Cute, I love your yellow pots! You're so brave with color. You better nail that cross down, your friend might come and take it one night.
I have a chair that I found in the dumpster last week so I'll link up to your party on Sat. although it's not complete yet I need some idea's for it. I'm so thrilled about winning your giveaway!!!!!!!!!!
Your front entry is beautiful!!
Oh my! Charming, Debbie! So charming! LOVE the magazine rack and the cross and the plants! AND the planters!
I do NOT want to sit on that porch.
I want to own it!
The Japanese Maple is so pretty! I love the clematis too. It is such a beautiful color. :)
I really like the cross too. Isn't it amazing what a little paint can do?
Debbie, everything is so pretty. I love all the stuff you painted. Love the numbered pots. I was thinking about doing some, but haven't gotten to it. Your yard looks great!
Love it! Everything looks great!
Everything looks so great Debbie! I love the pots! Your yard is beautiful!
Love the yellow pots!! Love the chairs on your porch.
Love the yellow pots, numbers on the watering can and all the clever ideas and colors!
Glad to see there is still hope for my Japanese Maple. This was a tough winter up here in Chicago.
Love the yellow pots with the numbers. Too fun and cute. I'm going to have to give something like that a try.
Great entrance, but I would just pull up a rocker, grab a glass and sit for a spell.
Toodles,
Kate
Everything looks lovely, funky and unique! You did a great job as always and, boy, would I have grabbed up that wooden handled stand/rack, too?! Glad you enjoyed your visit to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, it is an awesome place! TFS!
You have a superb, welcoming front yard, the Japenese Maple is fantastic. I'm shopping for one this year. The Clematics is beautiful.
Everything looks great, the jasmine really caught my eye-love it!
Beautiful! It makes me want to come hang out on your porch! Your yard is so colorful. I love it all!
Once again, you leave me impressed with your creativity. You know how to spice things up and it looks great.
Lovely landscaping, by the way.
Erin
Beautiful bright colors! Love the pots with the numbers, very cute!
I like your ideas for the yellow pots and numbers. Great job. You have a super creative mind and have done so many neat things. I really love all the pretty flowers. Your Jasmine reminds of a turkey.
First off...I love your photography! Especially the close-up photo of the two #1 pots and the petunias. Then there's the watering can with the address on it...you've given me inspiration to dust off my old watering can and turning it into something useful! Too cute!
You have such cute ideas and are so creative. Great photos!
i love everything now i have to go to walmart i want those pots with numbers:)
I love all your projects, especially the yellow pots! The Japanese maple, clematis, and jasmine are beautiful too.
This is a very pleasant post. Lots to look at. I like you clematis. It is so full. And the projects are sweet. I have a few projects on the back burner.

All of your projects are cute. The pots really came out nice and bright and eye catching!
Enjoy your break!

Debbie, Wow. Wow. Wow. Your Clematis and Japan Maple are stunning! Your front yard has tons of 'curb appeal'. Also, I think your blog is fabulous. I've just discovered from Susan's Outdoor Wednesday.
I'm off to read more. I am loving your sense of humor.:)
We see you've been busy with spray paint again! Your porch looks great! So do you beautiful flowers!
Debbie, I never think of using color! Unless you figure white is a color. The numbers thing is sooo cool!
Oh I love all that color! Just beautiful!
Isn't Spring so lovely! Especially at your house -- thanks for your very sweet visit to my Spring tabletops.
Debbie, you house decor is as bright and colorful as you are. I absolutely love the yellow pots with the black letters -- so striking. Yes, I would love to sit there and stay a while. The combination of your items draws me in.
You just do not stop, girl. You know -- sometime you're going to sit down and realize that you're really tired (haha). You'll take a five hour nap or something. I admire your stamina and would like to know what vitamins you are taking.
(((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))
What a cute project! Your porches are just lovely-I love all the colors! The jasmine is unreal!!
Have I told you yet your clematis and jasmine have me drooling! Well they do!!! So beautiful! Love the watering can w/the house number, too cute! Great idea!
oh i am sooooo jealous .... your clematis is sitting in sun while mine collects raindrops ... i love that cross ... and the pots idea is just too cute!
You sure have brightened your world in a wonderful way! What a great idea with the clay pots
Wonderful,
Kathy
You have such a beautiful home!
Beautiful garden and fun house numbers! Such long numbers - here in NH we have short numbers, Mine is 25, I just might put them on a pot out front!
Kathy
You absolutely amaze me. Those pots are so cute and that watering can is perfect. Your home is gorgeous.
Great ideas and photos!

I love the yellow pots what a great idea! The porch is so comfy I just want to sit and read a book!!
Love, love the pots. You picked great colors!!
I'm here from Woo Hoo Wednesday, and I have to say--your blog design is ADORABLE. It's just so friendly and FUN!!!

I'll be sitting outside on my BARE front rockers waiting for YOU to pull in the driveway. Then we'll walk to the storage building and yu can choose from among my STUFF, what should go on the porch.Then you work your MAGIC. how does that sound? I'll serve tea and cookies or take you to lexington for some yummy barbeque:) Let me know if this bribe will work..K:)

Sonny
You make me want to go outside with cans of spray paint and just paint everything not nailed down! :)
I love what you did with the cross , all of your projects look just wonderful !
Eunice
Thank God for inventing spray paint! I used the last of the pink that I painted the candleabra with and painted my chest freezer pink! My husband thought I was crazy, but I was tired of the primer silver he had added to the rust spots!
Great ideas for painting porch items!! Love the numbered pots! Maybe it is just me, but when I first glanced at your jasmine picture, it almost looks like the shape of a rooster!! Or am I losing it....!! I'll be gone all weekend so have a great Memorial Day holiday!!
Hi Debbie, everything is beautiful! I love all the colors you used! LOVE the pots - I might have to exchange the ones I got at TJ and get our address instead! Have a great day! ~Marcy
Great idea with the pots! I think you need to be the spokes person for that yellow paint! Why don't you contact the company and tell them all the things you have painted and maybe you can get your pretty face on one of those cans, or a commercial, lol! I love that yellow, thank you for finding it for all of us!
More Awesome decorating, ideas and pictures, Debbie!! Good luck with your garage sale!
HUGS,
Coreen

Hi Debbie,
I like your new cross and agree with you about distressing it. Your magazine holder has given me an idea for the magazine rack I found a few months ago. I think I will paint mine turquoise and put it on my back patio where I like to read.

Your porch is delightful! And I really love your flower pots!

Great projects Debbie! In fact, you inspired me to spray paint a pot! I just got done giving it the first coat of glossy red.
Your yard and home are so beautiful.

I was so happy to see your clematis...mine didn't make it this year...the buds were huge and ready to open any day, I was so excited then one morning...gone, all frozen to death. May I covet yours....however my jasmine did make and I can't wait to smell it...we are a little behind your good weather up here in the NW.

Olivia

What a happy looking and colorful home!
Looks great! We plant a Carolina jasmine at each house we move to. I have ours grow up a trellis. I never thought about it growing up a brick wall.
What a pretty place! You are so creative... I envy that.
Visiting you from New Friend Friday!
I LOVE your yellow pots! Just so sunny & vibrant!

Thanks for participating in A-T and adding your own unique spin on decorating!

Your porch is lovely - I could sit there for hours. But I must move on. I really like the cross - I agree, distress it a little.
What a beautiful yard with some outstanding flowers and I really love the red maple!!
I adore your yellow pots and everything that you painted that color. After seeing your chairs that you painted in that shade in an earlier post, I painted a few things yellow too. I am waiting until my impatiens and other annuals that I painted fill in a bit more before I post pics.
Debbie
Wow...what a cheery home! Good for you...I'm inspired!
Have a great Blue Monday!
Sarah
