Welcome to our southern screened porch tour!  I am so happy you stopped by!  This is by far the favorite room in our home once the pollen has finished falling and until the leaves turn beautiful colors in the fall.  Please pour a glass of iced tea and enjoy your tour!

Southern Screened Porch Tour by Our Southern Home

southern screened porch tour

Our porch did not start out screened.  After a couple of years of living here, my hubby finally realized that I was right!  I can't imagine that!!!  We love to spend time in the back yard, and the screened porch allows us shelter from the mosquitoes!  We tried to screen it in a way that did not block the views to the outdoors.

Most nights you will find us dining at this table.  It is typical for the kids to play in the backyard while the adults sip an adult beverage in the sitting area.  We purchased the outdoor wicker dining set about 3 years ago for joint gifts for each other.  The outdoor rug is from Frontgate and has held up beautifully!

 The iron set is vintage/antique that I bought from a precious older lady pre-Craig's List about 14 years ago.  It had no cushions…just the frames.  I searched high and low for someone to sand blast the grunge and rust from it.  Then we sprayed it with Benjamin Moore primer and paint.  Would you believe that I just repainted it 2 years ago!  I had the cushions custom-made in the hunter green from a local outdoor living store.  They were worth the money!  They have been outdoors in the elements about 1/2 the time we've had them.    I would love to one day replace them in a more neutral fabric, but they are just still in too good a condition to do away with!

This coffee table was one of those OMGoodness finds!  I have a favorite home furnishing consignment store that I always visit when in Southport, NC.  It had my name on it for only $42!  It is so heavy and in great shape.  I haven't even changed the paint finish….yet!  The still stained side table is a recent Goodwill find for $4.50.  It has an appointment with a paintbrush….maybe this weekend!  The door was $4.  I've had it leaning out here with intentions of turning it into a porch rules sign.  For now I just have some unused plates from my daughter's room hanging.  I'm kind of liking it like that for now.  The pillows are from Plow and Hearth from about 3 years ago.

There are 3 sets of French doors across the back.  We have on occasion had all opened the the back.  Nice breeze!

I  love succulents!  I just picked up these adorable containers from an antique store at a great price!   I'll share more with you soon on these!

  Here is a view of the other end of our porch.  The side door leads to our bedroom.

The 2 gliders were purchased the year after the dining set as another joint gift.  They are so comfy and are awaiting new cushions one of these days!  The small buffet table was in our kitchen for about 10 years.  It was still very pretty in cream with a floral motif.  Last spring pre-blogging I painted it in Duck Egg Blue by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  There is no official before.  I am sure there is some snapshot somewhere of it.  I love this paint!!!  I store candles, lighter, and playing cards in the drawers.  The basket houses yard toys.

I've had this iron work hanging from a going out of business sale for a couple of years.  I made the wreath for it last spring.

The wonderful driftwood has been collected through the years on our beach walks on Caswell Beach, NC.

I still need to plant pots with summer flowers.  I hung these commercial grade string lights 3 years ago inside the porch.  They stay up all the time.  I have them plugged into a Christmas remote control so they are easy on easy off!  That is typically the only porch lighting we use now.  I so apologize for the beautiful crazy white ball hanging from the umbrella!  I meant to take that down before photographing!  I take it down for company?  Any idea what it is?  It scares the birds off the patio and making their mess!!!  You have to move it around so they don't get wise to it!  So far it works!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!  I hope you will join Our Southern Home and follow along if not already!  This is the first installment in our home tour.

    I have the same six-sided tables, two, that I have had for over 20 years. I was going to put them in a Garage Sale this weekend because we are moving to a new home. The new house has a large covered porch and we have no outdoor furniture. I saw this post on Home Talk today, I think, and new I had those same tables. I am keeping those tables and painting just likes you did!!! Thanks so much for the idea. I am a new Subscriber!!!

    I’m really glad to have stopped by. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous porch of yours and all these wonderful ideas. You’ve got a really nice place and i love how you designed your porch. We could really use some screens to spruce up and use that extra space just like what you did over there and i love your furnitures just as well.

    Christy, I am a new blog “junkie” and just found your blog -LOVE EVERYTHING! Your porch is gorgeous and I know you enjoy it. I absolutely love the black wicker dining table and chairs. Do you remember where you found it? I have been searching for a black wicker set for many months and can’t seem to find the right table or chair. Yours looks exactly like what I want for our porch. You are very gifted and talented lady with an eye for style! Thank you for your time and keep up the beautiful blog posts!

      You have just made my day!!!! Thanks you so very much! I am not sure where you live, but I got the resin outdoor wicker at a local shop in Piedmont, SC. I believe it may be a chain and is called http://www.notjustwicker.com If you can’t get it where you are, they may be able to tell you a location where you live. We have had it about 4 years now, and I just love it! I am so happy to have you here! I look forward to hearing from you in the future! Have a lovely evening. ~Christy

    I love what you did with the vintage iron couch set. We have one just like it that I’m trying to redo. I searched for the Benjamin Moore paint that you used on it. Can you direct me to which one you used? I was unable to find a spray paint on their website.

      Thanks so much! The first time that I painted it (many years ago) we used Benjamin Moore paint for iron in gallon format. It was then used in a sprayer. I repainted it with Rustoleum Spray paint in cans using the textured black. The BM with the sprayer definitely maintains a finish longer, but the Rustoleum spray cans is quick and easy! ~Christy

We have a pair of mallard ducks who think that our swimming pool is their private pond. Nothing seems to keep them away. I would love to buy or make a ball like yours.

    Hi Christy – I absolutely love your screened porch. The plate display door, the potted succulents, the decorative iron pieces, the Duck Egg Blue buffet, the gliders, the pot of driftwood . . . You’ve pulled it all together so well. I used to have two tables just like your little side table and I gave them away. That was before I knew about ASCP 🙁

    I also like the layout of your blog. I hope to switch over to WordPress this summer to get a little more versatility. So glad I found you over at Imparting Grace. I can’t wait to see more of your lovely home!

    Blessings,

I am still getting used to WP with just moving. I can really see the benefits. Hopefully, by the time you switch I will feel better about things and can offer help!!!

    Christy – what a wonderful porch! What is the name of the store in Southport? I was just there last week! Such a cute little town. Thank you for sharing your home, it’s very inspiring.

      Katy, thanks so much! The consignment store that I LOVE is Rebecca’s! Have you seen it….it’s in an old house. There are tons of great thrift stores and antique shops there. Are you a regular visitor to Southport?

    Thank you so much for sharing your lovely porch. My hubby and I are mutual gifters too. It’s worked for 25 years 🙂
    We’ve pondered enclosing our wrap around porch, and you’ve inspired me 🙂

    Oh how beautiful!! Now you can get the most out of the seasons now that it is screened in.
    Came over from Kelly’s. We don’t have a long enough season here in Ontario,Canada for a screened in
    porch…But I can always dream…..

    Christy, what a great space you’ve created! I would never want to be inside!! We have been trying to stay on top of the pollen, by giving everything a quick wipe down, after the lawn guy finishes blowing. So far, so good! Like you, we only have a small window of opportunity to really enjoy it, before the searing heat of summer kicks in. I love all of your lovely accents!

    Christy, everything is so beautiful! Your porch looks as big as my entire back yard 🙂 Also, I bought an identical end table last summer from Goodwill and painted it in Duck Egg but left the weave pattern on the bottom stained! It was beautiful and was sold to a client! Any time you want to invite me over, I will be happy to sit on the porch with you!

    Fabulous…is an understatement! Wow, Christy just lovely. We only have one set of french doors on our porch. 😉 I’d love 3! But I love to open them up to the family room when the weather is nice (and there’s not a ton of pollen…which basically equates to 2-3 days a year!,lol). Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home. I can’t wait to see the rest! 🙂

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins!

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!

I’m sharing my favorite carol on the blog along with our nativity and angels through the years going all the way back to 2012! Did you catch the Christmas Star last night? ⭐️ We missed it, but I think you can see it again tonight.
