Little Spring Front Porch Refresh today! All it really takes is spraying off the front porch. Maybe adding a new outdoor rug. Pulling out your empty flower pots and filling them with some fresh plants! Mostly everything I had I got last year on the big Way Day Sale from Wayfair and I know so many of you bought that day too! Well, today is your lucky day! It is Way Day TODAY and they extended it to 36 hours! There will be flash deals on the hour, so watch my Instagram stories today for updates. I will share some deals here and show you our front porch spring update!
Thank you Wayfair for sponsoring this post
We painted the ceiling in “haint” blue. Really it isn’t “haint” blue. But it is close enough. So many homes in our area have their front porch ceilings painted blue. Once upon a time in the deep South, many people painted their porch ceilings a specific shade of Haint Blue, a soft blue-green, to ward off evil spirits called “haints.” … Many people theorize that porches painted a soft blue will trick wasps and other insects into thinking it’s the sky, taking their nests elsewhere. I am not a believer in this idea to ward off evil spirits. BUT I love the tradition and the look. for our beach home and community.
Our porch light is from Wayfair. Along with our outdoor mat, mailbox and planters! Thee front door basket last year and it is discontinued, but really any wall hanging basket would work. Real succulents are inside the basket, fun idea for your front door! Below you can click on an image to shop some items from our front porch and find them on SALE!

What kind of potted plants do you have on your porch? What about back deck? Would be interested to know what plants do OK potted outside!
I wil have to do a post on this!! I love succulents outside!
Did you repaint your steps this year? Thinking about painting ours and wondering about up keep. Thanks!
What is the name of your haint blue and the vendor please! I painted our front door the same as yours for our daughters wedding this past September and our photographer loved it!
Thanks a bunch!
I love your front porch. I have been looking for a basket like the one on your door ever since you posted it last year. Its just really neat the way its made. As always, your porch is lovely. Like the pink door and the blue painted ceiling.
Your front porches are my absolute favorite! I love how you take advantage of every square inch of your porch.
I love the door knocker. I have been looking for one just like that
This porch is just lovely. I need to update mine now!
I especially loved the history behind “haunt blue.” I live in the South, so I’ve seen the blue ceilings, but I never knew the lore behind them.
Love! Looks absolutely amazing and is getting me excited to spruce up my porch! One of the things I gave up for lent was Instagram and I so miss your stories! I must tell you Brooke I recently went to a Beauty Counter / Norwex party my sister-n-law had and totally thought of you! You must look up the Norwex products. They are non toxic and amazing and I think you will love! Happy Easter to your family and counting down the days to see your stories again!
I live in a Craftsman style house in California, with a large front porch. I have thought about painting the ceiling, and now I have a reason to do it. What a fun story to tell visitors about this folk tale!
