Bonnie’s porch was a great space with a lot of potential — it just hadn’t quite lived up to it yet. See what she did to transform this screened back porch into a party-ready indoor/outdoor room.

Bonnie’s porch is now a bright, cheery, vacation-like space filled with candy-colored accents offset by natural tones. The only thing that makes me a little nervous here is the firepit, but maybe it’s there just for looks and not use. Otherwise, I would surely love to spend a lot of time there with a big smile on my face.

This whole thrifty project, including lots of DIYs, came in under $300. Not bad! Find out more about this project at Going Home To Roost. Nice job Bonnie!
