Guest Picks: 20 Products to Pretty Up Your Front Porch

With spring just around the corner, I am already starting to think about ways to liven up the exterior of my property. The front porch seems like the obvious place to start. It’s actually the very first impression of your house, and it can look fabulous, even if the inside of your house is covered in toys, clothes, dirty dishes — you get the picture.

It does not take much to create a gorgeous porch, however big or small it could be. Here are a few examples of accessories which instantly say “welcome” — Emily from Emily A. Clark
