Sharing a quick tour of our cozy + welcoming farmhouse Summer porch space…
I don’t know about you, but here in the land of eternal Winter (or seemingly so anyway), we get pretty darn excited when Summer finally decides to grace us with it’s presence!
I’ll tell ya, knowing these long, warm, sunny days will be gone before we know it definitely brings out an appreciation for Summer like no other.
We Canucks know how to really make the most of our far too short Summers, spending every minute we can enjoying the great outdoors. Sometimes that means hiking + biking + days at the lake and sometimes it means just curling up on the porch with a book after a long day.
My sweet friend Krista at The Happy Housie invited me to join in her Seasonal Simplicity Summer series with an outdoor Summer home tour this week (check out last week’s indoor space here) and I thought it would be the perfect time to share our favourite place to kick back and relax through the Summer.
Even though we really only get to use it just a few short months through the year, this little porch is one of our very favourite spaces to spend our time.
No matter what time of day, it’s the perfect spot to kick back and relax all Summer long.
Filled to the brim with beautiful flowers and charming vintage finds, I think it’s such a cozy + welcoming space!
With a few of our favourite DIY projects scattered into the space:
Whether it’s sipping a quiet morning coffee to start the day or curling up with a book and glass of wine to end it, this farmhouse porch is our very favourite place to kick back all Summer long!

Kristi, your video of your lovely front porch was so nicely done! You have done such a lovely job of just everything! Love all your ideas! I especially love the gorgeous hanging flower baskets. Then there’s the antique door with the planter box — and that lovely old window frame with the planter box! So, so pretty! Hope you have lots of time to spend out on your front porch because, yes, here in Canada our summers are just too short! Enjoy your gorgeous porch! Have a great week!
Thank you so, so much Mary-Ann! I’m so happy you enjoyed the tour! Wishing you a wonderful weekend to come!
This is beautiful. Your front porch screams WELCOME in all of its essence. I love the window box too. Can I come over to sip a cup of coffee?? Beautiful farm house, you’ve got
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful space! I love the hanging baskets and window boxes. I just wish the warmer weather lasted longer to enjoy them more, but maybe that makes it all the sweeter? Have a wonderful summer!
I agree Jennifer, but you’re right – we definitely appreciate each and every moment of sunshine knowing it will be gone far too soon! Thanks so much!
I love all the greenery you’ve incorporated into your front porch and the window planter box is so cute! It would be so, so hard not to ignore all the chores so you could spend all afternoon out there!
Thanks Emily! Whether it’s with my laptop or a book, it’s my favourite place to hang out!
