It's spring and that means everyone is ready to go outdoors and enjoy the weather. Is your patio or porch ready? Today we are covering lots of ideas for getting your porch ready to enjoy the warmer weather. You'll be all set for entertaining, but don't wait until company is coming to go enjoy it. Grab that glass of something delicious and head out there!
Thank you to Debbie B  for suggesting this podcast topic.
As with an indoor room, we always suggest you start by taking a before photo. Look at your porch with fresh eyes. What will a visitor see and notice? Treat this space with as much respect as you would any other room in your home. In other words, don't neglect it. You've got the space, why not get it up to speed, so you can enjoy it?
