We've gone from this:

My daughter Anne, using $6 worth of Dollar Store decorations
and a staple gun, transformed our front porch into a patriotic medley!
Children do indeed have their uses.

Come and join us for a day of porch sitting, and some steaks on the grill later on!
Thanks to Susan of Between Naps On The Porch for Metamorphosis Monday (click here!).
I want to thank my Dad, my father-in-law, and both my brothers for serving our country in the armed forces, and to thank all past and present who have served. Our freedoms come with a price, and I am grateful to those who pay that price on our behalf.
God bless America. -- Cass
Just beautiful Cass, your daughter did a great job on a budge! What a girl! Cindy
ReplyDeleteYou are crackin' me up!!! I thought the transformation was going to be new siding or a new paint color!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe decorations are very festive.
How I'd LOVE to be there to sit on the porch with you, I'm sure there'd be lots of laughing, and I'm always "in" for a steak (or better yet chicken) on the grill!!!
PS - - - since none of us can get there, why not invite the ghosts up out of the basement for the day?????
ReplyDeleteYour house, indeed, looks gorgeous all decked out in red, white and blue! Those color are a sure bet, anywhere, anytime!

ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day,

Thanks for your lovely comments Cass, yes we do have a cavalier Sophie and our other dog Chloe is a cocker spaniel. I don't think you can fully understand when your told that they are a lap dog until you get one!! I was sorry to hear of the loss of your cavalier. They are are great comfort for sure. Take care
ReplyDeleteHi Cass!! I love it!! I also love Dollar Tree!! I go there for holiday/party stuff before I go anywhere else!!
ReplyDeleteHope your day is going well!!
Oh and I like my steaks medium rare!! What time do we eat?? And does that steak come with some fresh-squeezed lemonade?? ;o) I think about things like that when I see your house!!
Enjoy!!
Blessings and hugs,
Becky
Sounds like a lovely dinner. The porch looks even more inviting.
ReplyDeleteWOW it looks great and I love your house! Hugs, Bobbi Jo
ReplyDeleteCass! This is beautiful! Your daughter knows her way around a staple gun! Oh, you home is just the most charming! Love it! Now, I like my steak medium, please! ;)

Love it! Cass, Mr. Linky must have malfunctioned (again) today...did you ever link up? I'll go check and if I don't see you on there, I'll add you to the list. I ADORE your front porch...really the whole house! The decorations are wonderful...I think you need to leave them up a while! Hey, you can reuse them for 4th of July in a month and a half! Susan
ReplyDeleteShe did a fabulous job! It really does look so patriotic. laurie
ReplyDeleteLove it! Dressing a house in patriotic colors is so much fun. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAwwww. I loved your patriotic re-do!! So America!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a magazine shot! What time is dinner being served? Happy Memorial Day. ~Cathy~
ReplyDeleteHi Cass...your house looks so pretty, with or without the decorations! There's an award for you at my blog :)
ReplyDeleteLovely and festive, great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Cass, back again... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI follow Lillian Too's practice so I recommend her books. She has several and most are in public libraries. They are old books and she studied under a master from China, but if you are interested in more contemporary interpretation, there are a lot out there. I recommend any that focus on redesigning rather than symbolism for easy read and comprehension.
She did a great job!

HI Cass! I'm so glad you like my roosters! I bought those chickens in chairs prints many years ago at a little boutique in east Texas! I don't even remember the name of the shop!
ReplyDeleteShoot! Well, I like sausages too, but I'm sure all of your guest ate them up! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Hi again, Cass! Oh, I don't mind at all! I'm thrilled you like them so much. Let her go to town painting you some pictures of chickens on chairs! The only thing I ask - make sure you let me know when you post them so I can see! I love this!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Hi Cass!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter did a great job - funny how something so simple can make such a big impact! My, what a gorgeous home you have...love that porch!
Have a great week!
Hugs & Blessings,

Hi Cass :)
ReplyDeleteThat Old House looked beautiful all dressed up in patriotic splendor! I hope your Memorial Day a wonderful :)

Looks great. I hope your Holiday was a great one!
ReplyDeleteIt looks just GREAT! I'd love to stop in and sit on that cozy porch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Cass! Did you have a nice holiday?
ReplyDeleteThat looks very cheerful - although I was prepared for a new paint colour!
ReplyDeleteWill you leave those decorations up through July 4th or will you take them down and then do it all over again?
Cass,
ReplyDeleteI love that summer has come and I can see pictures of That Old House on the outside. She is just beautiful!!
Kids are wonderful with decorations, aren't they? I think it is because they have more vivid imaginations of party decorations from the past! When I ask my girls to decorate or do tables for a party, they always seem to come up with more unique ideas than me. And I can't believe your daughter found all of this at the Dollar Store! How cool!
Can't wait to see more pics of "The Grounds"!! :-)

I have given you a challenge - come on over to claim it. :)

Lovely decor you have put in the porch of this house. Wish I live in a house like this. :)
