I showed y’all my colorful herb container garden a few days ago so you know that I like to bring lots of color to my outdoor spaces. I feel free outside to be daring and bold. I started by buying some really bright indoor outdoor fabrics from Fabric.com. I started with the colorful chevron type fabric in oasis. I then added on a couple of bold geometric patterns in coordinating colors (Caribbean and pear). I love how the fabrics are so different yet they coordinate. Plus buying the outdoor fabrics online was cheaper than just two chair cushions that I liked at a local store. That is a win win!
I used a portion of the fabric to cover the seat cushions for these rocking chairs. If you have not broken out your sewing machine yet….what are you waiting for? Don’t be scared just jump in and go for it! I am self taught all the way and yes I learn a little more every time I sit down at my machine. The rewards are so worth it though. I get to create this gorgeous porch for a fraction of the price of buying all of these elements at the store.
I am going to tell y’all a little secret about this view. We are getting all new replacement windows and the installation started yesterday. It has already made a huge difference when it comes to this view and I love it!
The pillows alone are something to look at. They are all made by just sewing straight lines but what an impact they make when grouped together. I actually had all of those pillow forms on hand so they did not cost me anything but fabric.
My knock off sign from the Pottery Barn is still hanging around after 2 years of use. I still love the rustic beauty up here on the porch.
Now for the solar fountain that y’all are going to love. Yes this is solar powered and comes with its own solar panel and everything. It is from Serenity Health and Home Decor and I think it is gorgeous. It fits in perfectly up here since that fabric behind it has an exotic flair to it.
I imagine long summer evenings out here listening to the water and relaxing. Doesn’t that sound heavenly? You could also add this to your landscaping since it is solar powered. I think the fact that this fountain is solar powered makes it a brilliant addition to your outdoor decor.
In case you are wondering, the fountain was super easy to put together and hook up to the solar panel. So no worries y’all….you can do this! Head over to Serenity Health and Home Decor to see this fountain plus more in their wide selection. Maybe a wall fountain or fire pit is more your style? Yep they have those too! My other love is their rock waterfalls for outdoors….trust me you don’t want to miss those.
I hope you have enjoyed my porch makeover as much as I am going to enjoy using it this summer. Want a porch like this of your own? Get busy cause you can have one too!
I was paid for this post by Serenity Health and Home Decor but all opinions are my own.

That is so beautiful! I love the muted colors and that fountain is adorable!
Stunning! I love water features and your’s is so pretty! I love how you used a fabric that has the same terra cotta color as the pots! Such a beautiful porch Angie!
Love the pillows – and I’m a huge fan of fire pits. I will check them out!
I love the colors in the pillows and the fountain is too cute. I didn’t know they could be solar powered either.
I’ve been admiring that solar fountain for quite awhile. If only I had a place to put it!
Your porch looks so comfortable and cozy, Angie. You will doubtless spend many hours of leisure and fun out there.
This looks great! So pretty and relaxing. That solar fountain is awesome
I love these colors, Angie! It all came together SO nicely!
Looks great…love all the color…The solar powered water feature is really a cute idea as well. 🙂
A solar powered fountain? PERFECT! It’s a pain to have to plug in or unplug my fountain now. Thanks for the info! Also, love the color combo of your porch. Great fabrics, too!
