Renovation of a Back Porch


Lovely
 After a short stint of owning an English Bulldog, our screened in back porch looked kind of, well destroyed! We never utilized the great space like we should because it needed a lot of work and love. Sorry I do not have any before photos, but here is the breakdown of the after: We started off painting the wood beams a soft muted grey color to make the screen porch lighter. We used an epoxy kit, purchased from Home Depot to refinish the cement flooring, approximately $70. New fans were added and our new flat screen was hung. After a lengthy search for the perfect outdoor furniture, I finally found this lovely teak furniture with white cushions online at Sams Club for $999 on sale. It is great quality, well built and looks perfect in this space. I used several pillows to bring in pops of blue and green, found at Home Depot on clearance for $2 each!! The middle yellow pillow was purchased at Target on sale for $17. I purchased the two hanging plants at Walmart to bring in more green color and add warmth. I love how the space came together. I am on a hunt for the perfect outdoor rug to place under the couch and coffee table now, so if you see anything let me know! Enjoy!
Love the pop of color that the pillows bring to the space!
Epoxy flooring completed
The TV hung in place, with a shelf built to house the direct tv box
