Nature inspired art prints and accessories sprinkled throughout the room also nod to the outdoors. The four poster in blonde maple adds a rustic simplicity to the bedroom, while nearly sheer plaid curtains soften the corners of the bed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrWSTERmV7y84hEbTadNvsANS_3nR4Uk13bQl_IJnFEsXvyVrUT-701smwQtcWroAP7n74b8zgLIcWSdOcaj8wmppx6gH3zGtjYgxXeyVlGybUqrpmH2znLOEPk2x8A1I6sqLCn39UtY/s640/Modern-Bedroom-Decorating-With-Summer-Color-2013-New-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">White walls and sheer patterned draperies allow this bedroom to look open and airy despite it's small size. The wood flooring and the dark painted dresser introduce visual weight to the room. An eclectic assemblage of bedding citron sheets, sea glass green shams, and block print linens add sink in comfort to the cozy bedroom. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSgjMiaIp7kiSj-10-jOjl4iE7XyHPCVPB0QPBdOJOdQTFsMibNjdLVdNDqCBO6Vyv_MyitYN35oI7KtpC50y0GNvKagq5PvwNC3E_YIr32P6wx5FoYy_iFLTg5feQ-gMRWceqdrGt3XQ/s640/Modern-Bedroom-Decorating-With-Summer-Color-2013-New-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Accents of royal blue, orange, and hot pink add oodles of color to this otherwise neutral bedroom. The tones play out in less vibrant shades on the antique rug, a move that makes the room look pulled together, but also plays up the modern-traditional style of the room. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlAip-eFzy8Cxoa4zURnf5S1ms3wo08z6TJRNMYHMOo8nAACMFpq1jnHLrPHgLPlFFxL3LHPtzae5NEuDohCCyFbB_mVL4ytmBAulN6lraSms3fCRVd0rJUdlatChuHZGAj_EJc-6ger4/s640/Modern-Bedroom-Decorating-With-Summer-Color-2013-New-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The barely green walls, white architectural details and a palette of grays in this bedroom allow personality-filled accents to truly shine. While the elements of the room are decidedly eclectic, they are well edited and the room isn't overcrowded. Next to the bed, an elephant shaped statue functions as a tiny night stand. The patterned area rug adds warmth underfoot and style leading up to the bed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRVD10k0Fb0sN1O5KAXEewYyoRDETeAGGCn07wx_-sjUmwjTCzHLiiNyirhbCO8LkZaVqPVNUiZE58jhmn466vHX-FrfqRILsmfya6eZrQSR_FzoahfNLFujWf0_7LNiHkCACIdH8rJiE/s640/Modern-Bedroom-Decorating-With-Summer-Color-2013-New-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In this bedroom, a patterned fabric bed frame functions as a work of art. The colorful print blends well with the warm wood accents throughout the rest of the room. Beige and white bedding and curtains echo the look of the bed frame. Scale plays an important role in this room's design. Because the ceilings are tall, the walls needed to be treated accordingly. The oversize mirror fills the space above the bed better than a regular sized mirror and the large damask pattern on the curtains adds interest to the solid fabric without become too busy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUE2LBE720L0LMwl-or8ENwoAols-wCai-WbK__WszsymVW9CsqCLjCLLXy8PytaKHdgKB9eYgGGZcHhHVs_SxLOfMbbr8mPx0eoGsq3SajFYqLvZl4CY_uHwu7DYBeobjjIYHY52RCW0/s640/Modern-Bedroom-Decorating-With-Summer-Color-2013-New-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The all-white walls in this bedroom get a style boost thanks to a panel of patterned fabric hung behind the headboard. A use of midtone grays creates a dynamic color palette while remaining neutral. Assorted furniture shapes bring the room to life from the rolled ends of the upholstered bed, to the unique bench perched on animal legs. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl-qqBpK3C68tEd1YU6E7_PHjyHFAEhjpwPTR_YHHK7aRjoKAzO3v0K1zrGQ1aKqPY4a6V33z6nyHBkqbnYhWKUq9vdU5r-mmej3XyYhQc2PKpHch7WKyyr2-qpAYsbw3N5hRqZRklMoI/s640/Modern-Bedroom-Decorating-With-Summer-Color-2013-New-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Strict symmetry makes a big style statement in this bedroom. The two beds are identical, right down to the arrangement of throw pillows and sunburst mirrors above the beds. The bench between the two beds serves as a nightstand for both, eliminating the need for two pieces of furniture. Warm walls, window treatments, and flooring contrast the dark finish of the traditional-style beds. Handblocked textiles on the beds add unique pattern and interest. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu5he4c0Kl1RI3qJzjI1GT8o_i7jQggsWD8OUW_TIdHw2ys-b6C5_qai8ziaK_KtXD7NE_kiJpD-Y2dfeylwo3Tx6cQl7d5ac8EdX6aDOcfk0T_lxVGBss7ykfkkTXofT9WWYq7HgSYYQ/s640/Modern-Bedroom-Decorating-With-Summer-Color-2013-New-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A patterned, fabric covered headboard says style against white walls. Wide striped draperies infuse the room with another layer of pattern, but they don't steal attention away from the headboard. Coral accents throughout the space provide warmth and color. Smaller scale patterns on the bedding and solid pillows complete the room's pattern mix. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

Decorating With White 2013 Summer Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWDbQ31MMe_Aj40Hhoug_kouAR4FvqFf5w1Hy4SbGCl3k2VpMHRqz4G1ZYPymA9EXLhhAHOGLT5UMKGlhB00wAyQGVBdhReooyQBJy8qvfPdXz25nuEC0q9vXwfyK8N35Sy2w04THZUhw/s640/Decorating-With-White-2013-Summer-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When decorating a room, expensive or difficult to change elements are best left neutral. For whites, consider the variety supplied by a creamy wool rug, white linen slipcovers, shiny silk pillows, and a furry throw. Contrast comes in the form of black accents, which can be as powerful as hot pink in an all white room. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimNK0WzqYfG49zdUnGR7Lqbcf-wbtZWajErrfpM_Gz1B9ueHCcLwrFUs0XtAhP71DHDF5YvlXXxR2-7qUvv5xuj0ZcM91SJEoa0-k94rIF3LV3VYCs0U08rJHR7HG5fVZFsEEVtNE8rSM/s640/Decorating-With-White-2013-Summer-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Use white to separate and emphasize your forays into colorful decor. In this room, white walls and shapely textured furnishings set a chic neutral stage for vibrant ceramics, glass, and a collectible pink chair. A shelving unit creates a display grid on the white wall that adds dimension in the room and spreads the notes of pink and blue over a larger space. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2WB5m6rm9imB9xUsJTkmSwjZZVNHklNYZMo2lAPmy0AuS_U9iWVUWg8nMGjgF4T4m9AKW3F1B7fBBxr0OVYCsiJVU1RzFzMrpthKbZu2b7uh-8FrM2DwfktPEMtxZ5T8r9YVRxLHycS4/s640/Decorating-With-White-2013-Summer-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Slipcovered in crisp white and dressed for dinner, modern chairs add a touch of minimalist formality to this white dining room. The shaded chandelier and simple window shades sum up the classic-modern style of the space. The white palette is enriched with a subtle ivory tone on the walls. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixJspoH3r0ZuhZhX_WZET7rfLZ-wTC2eOVJCXwdRnX-M1ja_yg6kbzr-4Uxx4FIoMKuoN9Vg8blzC6gb42CTkkXuoF6ar4Rol3RIsZPhnZvPl_tjMNI0hK3aSCAUxEyR6trrEgZ3UlK7Q/s640/Decorating-With-White-2013-Summer-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Layers keep a white room from being one-note. Prop framed mirrors against a wall or over a mantel. Look for interesting mirrors at thrift stores or tag sales and paint the frames in shades of cream and white. Slightly overlapped or placed against one another, the large mirrors will practically double the natural light in the room. Add another piece in front of the mirrors, preferably something with a similar tone and an interesting shape, such as this old French clock, to create depth. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp_PUGQpzTvbTiMOPPeelPZSmrS4VU5Wqr8yC8ukflEyB0YWn8xMHD6duTxBF1c8q9S2obZFGdWSmKEtbON5t0A2VH_GXVjaY2stHSLfKTA7bx2AjWPXp15NrlVRUpb6IefZ5TwEp3cPo/s640/Decorating-With-White-2013-Summer-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Contemporary amenities are dressed in traditional design elements in this timelessly elegant white kitchen. Glass-front cabinets and thick marble counters confer period authenticity, while stainless steel appliances add a modern counterpoint. Oak plank flooring grounds the room and brings warm, natural color to the mostly white space. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkchyphenhyphenmw2br7ZfSuskvhyphenhyphen2MZ7goFmEH-N6_Cr9yapw4810ERHwQM5l9U9hYNX2uONGFYg2XYtpZXYvMqd5b9MZaXbXPqMzIYeS920cilZTsBcHPlIuYVucDLXOd8q8q3ToPFrCSkK7O9L0/s640/Decorating-With-White-2013-Summer-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">White brings cohesion to a large room and its different layers of color and texture. In this bright and breezy living room, wide-plank pinewood floors and finishes emphasize the house's history, while the dark tones contrast with the contemporary white walls and slipcovered seating in an old-world/new-world combination. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2cI12EibcqnskbA1-jpublAUr-02MasmiuAJpPd1WdAEdLBfwbb4PrB4eYVzfIzvs42EpWUedQYLnVTVkILfErP9RmgDL84aQQR44pDbUsRTQXLZwwm8zUQIIVqhfA_xfDAQhhXfYLDo/s640/Decorating-With-White-2013-Summer-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add signature flourish, intrigue, and even texture to an all-white bath. In this unique space, a quartz tile surface is embossed with a subtle wash of lace pattern that dances in the natural light. Augment the luxurious spa feeling with lots of white: towels, floor covering, and shower curtain it's a surefire way to refresh. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSg_CaUmvKpB35j6mgZR4u8KkcFLC-7C-L5gV8EYlNrnzH_vvDUG48ZMkh9o5cCpJDYGhLgFeIo5fwVhSbpoIbxeq-srs8nUbvqaiYpMzL_Q6SHNvp_r8mRUHGdz3-hn83zfbhJuJAwtw/s640/Decorating-With-White-2013-Summer-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This Victorian flat was transformed to give it the ambience of a modern loft. White paint coats the formerly dark wood architectural elements such as the fireplace mantel, allowing the relief carvings to stand out in greater prominence.

Easy Decorating Ideas for Summer 2013 from BHG

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Bring the colors and feelings of summertime into your home with our best tips and tricks everything from furniture arrangements to the smells of the season. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxY1AmKqQV0bfTg4S5z6K7d8Xf_3caPACgdzuf_SB5RbBbvB7l7J0lbyM8vWVFjJLRISMEXMVP2fl5LE3UzTbso0ftzdPj1NWJj8YdCcc_RdpRh34njFHh4mGylshU8Zaqn3zU8pZor5E/s640/Easy-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-from-BHG.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Think of your home as a summer rental, and you'll see it in a whole new light. Throw open the doors and windows, pull back the curtains, and get rid of pieces that are dark, gloomy, or fussy. Stow away heavy accessories, throws, and unnecessary small decor items until it's time to cozy up for fall. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7-T4Pc20kEJeB_g_2clrvJlhuzGy4_ScKlYyek7sQ4_r4B9___1_IBrPuluseE53lOil2_J5lR9_5jldIvsLRbN4-cNHLhS7EQoPU1I4VFvlCMAOCCxXjLInN9DQtO4xV8wCyBUO_s8U/s640/Easy-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-from-BHG-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />To add organic appeal, consider planting succulents in a large shell. The tiny plants last for a long time and require little care, making them the perfect addition to a summery tablescape. The natural elements also add texture and character to this chic end table display. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaAtie2MTVn8jKW3DDJ55wVgJZvMBCzI4-wSJzCz-Jar6TqOaZ1DUbSdS1LOpdJi06QsruW9DJDD_heNM-OQS1zAJ-kCesMvMcVOYEEKNTCRnqSTXB6ix03sqvG33-lIdMVuwIsoINz78/s640/Easy-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-from-BHG-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Consider buying accent dishes to add splashes of summertime color and pattern to your next dinner party. Mix bright floral, tropical, or nautical theme dishes with your everyday plates and bowls. To ramp up the summertime look, clear a small table to create an impromptu bar, and arrange bottles and glassware on a pretty serving tray. Fun elements such as stir sticks and paper umbrellas create a look that is perfectly seasonal. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0baff1jU0oCkUJhQrcv8fGi8n8VOyT2GzOCpHRiPWDyTk6aM0XHOlb2AyyHJ_TXsiK1fAniD7HD6M-fdGVxcl8EoHFB2G96GVcKd8VwbLwckKjw7aRT9UzEIcupYYXi6XUBxBIOQgUxc/s640/Easy-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-from-BHG-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />While a fireplace is a great focal point, consider rearranging your furniture away from it during the summer. Rather than huddling around the hearth, shift the focus of the room toward a beautiful window or French doors. Stow away heavy draperies and hang gossamer sheers that flow with the breezes. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir88Q-KYGfrGeJsdLHBJVl7RWcPSZgdA1MDDtMGd6zOghongQSA09CjXLe54NDJMjv97aLcaMvDTkz2A9MeLV99gD-ALSUmk36WjEKLt6J4kHVXQULgEQhnkra5LikrvSR_0oDzFbogm0/s640/Easy-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-from-BHG-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Summer is as much a state of mind as it is a season, so transform your spaces to embrace all the benefits it has to offer. String paper lanterns on tree branches around an outdoor patio to allow gatherings to last well into the night hours. Or should the weather turn stormy, cozy up by lamplight on a covered porch. Because pleasant summer days sometimes fall few and far between, you'll want to take full advantage of the time you have to spend outside, rain or shine. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbrFdGBhaGmUqhza-7DYAUYM25I-zd65oLFqOI-vW8q7G44rLv6XM4Mv3NnYfiVm63FIrmrcZQcWjeMjtQHeOWMjH3Hc2v50O4i2aRjDUYCQJcAJfVfXb8VwHo_60SvSa3_zm7fMFeUWg/s640/Easy-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-from-BHG-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Give a tired chair or side table new life using high-gloss spray paint in a summery hue, such as sky blue or grassy green. The glossy paint creates a fun lacquered look and gives an old piece a fresh and modern edge. Make sure to properly prime the furniture to help the paint adhere to the surface and wear longer. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYemfkNpY91m5w6eUUo1GxwTWR7G_oVWvdq5nM37YA9pvZqmnWyEpfmujFC-vnzrJaaL2X7ctRgpCtn6IW_4bnBXJ9aRjUDAczW60xrfmOo8scoq3Tj5tO4KqWMR2Cqjq9yxlMjyFMiTU/s640/Easy-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-from-BHG-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Brighten dark walls with colorful art pieces. Affordable pieces can be found just about anywhere online or at flea markets and resale shops. A large piece or a collection of smaller pieces also provides the perfect blank wall solution for large, open rooms. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepSTZvvkI-sjN9554v1bDDlYHRypb5085htKshiW-lwszyZMDfcxJUyIYBJTCgl788H7mf_IyAHXxy9eYFnU8lchWPFCh-vwbT18fUs3SQvbhyd234yMKt8N9GAC3FOcD1dlaMNtqfpg/s640/Easy-Decorating-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-from-BHG-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />Welcome summer by entertaining outdoors. Low tables, floor pillows, and strands of clear outdoor lights will set a merry mood. Winning combos of bright colors, such as turquoise, red, and white, create a festive atmosphere and will keep everyone in a party mind set. <br /><br /><br /></div>

Front Porch Makeovers For Summer 2013 From BHG

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> By bringing inside style outside, they prepared a pretty porch perfect for warm weather get togethers. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkW2PfUiKyEeOIZ6IsHLE25yd9AUDtlrqIidBoUt0zFX1bVT9d7Hprd-eGgO1GJ0Dsfl_2XaZW4cpxe9vx0f5C2u__bee834BbjBBAAi_AyROmxufFY1x7fzMEScuvSNxqrpxZA1TBPYM/s640/A-Pretty-Front-Porch-Makeovers-For-Summer-2013.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Fresh paint, bold fabrics, soft rugs, and furniture that's easy to arrange and rearrange make this L-shape porch a great space for parties and family gatherings. For flexibility, select lightweight furnishings that would work just as well inside the house. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaJrC8Dw6crHWVJjLNxYdyjRuI5Sdmmh4ZJfiF_0PIa-yhMHuTDQZOEzB_DzBJxN6al4Sp3gHObR-H_pOxDHaQvveMuZqK8xNeYPDsIaJJTQI818eZAnuZxPKs4l-SAoV5PDHdCU9g5j4/s640/A-Pretty-Front-Porch-Makeovers-For-Summer-2013-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A fabric that contained a touch of the house's brick hue along with citrus green, gray, pink, and terra-cotta inspired the porch's color palette. Gray served as the dominant color for the floor and curtains, with citrus-green accents. The fresh palette splashes dashes of fun onto throw pillows. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxCqKY6PFTQ1ShTD4NNykb47Sk2YQ9XhRE8KQ-pUW-EUShHDMy0O_z7rxbcAvx6tji2F4Xr27ugSWRPQeZ3ZouZebc2W0kP-ul6lRWqObmevkQV51mdm-eDVqFx2YLMZDEB0oyFMPWsQ/s640/A-Pretty-Front-Porch-Makeovers-For-Summer-2013-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Create a look-at-me door with oversize zinc house numbers bold enough to be seen from the street. Window film featuring bold circles adds privacy to the door and obscures a direct view into the living and dining rooms. A coat of spunky citrus-green paint freshens the entry. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioUFD5TjBbuW1g1FO_WbmcB4acfUCEAOuF5khLgrWkyuE4M7bZX1SqB4etunyEvnPnFk6qjBVeLUXQ1FiMQQyBP6EnUtwfJBRy_bCjdp1otFffyvJCKLxDalEQH7yO6JrjjjWsyv6KO1o/s640/A-Pretty-Front-Porch-Makeovers-For-Summer-2013-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A narrow desk on casters rests against one wall and is used as a sideboard on most days. Painted citrus green, this desk adds personality and functionality to the porch. Roll it in front of the bench and it offers fine dining for two. Pull up the chairs and stools spread around the porch, and it's party time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7evWdKPaD20-ZHj-b7k8XnPjmVwT27OZyelzqkFNzhuwRad2eeH9mYXpY5SoQu_hWMph3_y3G0y5uajmt8aLvpr0RBu8ZE0HiSt7r-tgCmZcFht94Z4qAbpgfG8oYIaRR77hEAXQNttM/s640/A-Pretty-Front-Porch-Makeovers-For-Summer-2013-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sections of tree trunk serve as handy side tables or stools and add a rustic touch to the outside room. Four swivel casters on the bottom of each log make them easy to move. Add cushions for seating comfort. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgilnljUcXYmikRMbbGlYe5LCIEe0Zmy6VAv1ZyoBFdeQHuqQtOWG-R6zJbwQTb5S6DLQLiR1i8B5onk5aFpPqiawb1mBpI22TtPVQGap_isgFc_FnrJutyBXq4FttwnQ9be4KKOxolTkQ/s640/A-Pretty-Front-Porch-Makeovers-For-Summer-2013-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add a swinging bench to the side area of the porch for a more private gathering space. For durability, use exterior primers and paints on furniture -- porch-and-floor enamel is a dependable option. Make curtains and pillows from indoor/outdoor fabrics to prevent wear and weathering. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
