Our Screened In Porch

Ty and I moved into our first home last August and we immediately had the idea of screening in our porch.  We already had a covered patio, so screening it in should be easy, right? Well, props to Ty and my Nana and Pa who made this all happen. They also had great helpers along the way including my Dad and some of Ty's friends - thank you all!  We finished the porch in early November so we didn't have much time to enjoy it before it became bitter cold.  Fast forward to now... We've been hard at work cleaning, decorating and getting this gem of a porch ready for spring!  We finally finished all of our tidying and decorating this weekend.

Our screened in porch is one of our favorite aspects of our house by a mile! I never considered us DIYers but my husband is slowly showing me he can do just about anything... :)

This is a picture right before they started building, and this is how the porch looked when we moved in.


No lie... This is how our porch looked all winter. It was too cold to be outside for very long and I wanted to brainstorm the possibilities for decorating...

After






Ty also built this fountain inside of our porch. Go Hubs Go!












We are in love with our new space and have pretty much lived out here since getting everything finished. There's nothing like working on your first house and accomplishing a big project together!
