Beachy Makeover for Porch

by Okio B Designs - April 09, 2013

We spend a lot of time on our porch in the summer. This year, I wanted to give it more of a beachy theme...for not a lot of money. I'm giving myself a $100 budget to work with. Here's what we have so far.

This boat oar is from Home Goods. I bought two of them a couple of years ago. They've been hanging by our garage/patio area. Total cost: $0 as I already had it.

This lanterns are from the Pottery Barn outlet. I picked them up about 5 years ago. Again moved them from the backyard to the porch. They need to be cleaned up a bit and candles added. $0.

Nevermind this table. It's getting an ASCP makeover this week. I just ordered Louis Blue which I think will look pretty and work for a beach theme. The lantern/starfish/candle - already had. The sea urchin was blue but I gave it a fresh coat of red paint. $0 for that too. The seahorse is from the Christmas Tree Shops. I spent $9.99 for it. Down to $90 now.

Starfish also from the Christmas Tree Shops - from 2 years ago. Need some freshing up. Now here's what I want:

From FolkyBirdSandFish.etsy.com. It's $34 but I'm trying to talk my Dad into making a wood whale for me.

This cute crab pillow is from FrenchCountryDesign.etsy.com. I believe it's $15.

Another fab pillow. This one is from White Apple Designs. In the $15 range as well.

Doorstop from NextDoortoHeaven.etsy.com. It's $10 and I love, love, love it!

Wish me luck as this will likely be a long work in progress given my budget.
