I had a rug on the back porch but as you can imagine, chicks and ducks and cats sometimes break in and aren’t tremendously potty trained, and that causes a tedious, constant clean with regard to the rug. But I like the idea of design there, so I decided to create tan and white squares! It should be easy to clean, durable and I love the little design for the eye. We also moved the sheep over after we painted the fence in the garden and I’m very much looking forward to a wonderful surprise for the sheep that is coming in just a couple weeks. My daughter truly is the Mary who had a little lamb (or two!) 🐑 Do you like the porch? I did admit my husband was terribly against the idea of painting the back porch instead of keeping it stained for a long time, but he finally gave in. I love it, but what do you think? Is it your style too? Head to my bio to see my 9yos sweater and my dress 👗 AND to shop my sweet romantic comedies currently on big prime sale! I’ll note my Christmas story is also on sale! On the Way to Christmas 🎄🚂🍁✨ Warmly, Melissa #home #cozy #farmhouse #sheep #cuteanimals #interiordesign #mom #countrylife #countryliving #cottagecore
