Linda at It All Started With Paint has done an amazing job at transforming her screened in porch into a beautiful and relaxing area, perfect for outdoor dining and gathering with family and friends.
Before she worked her magic, the space looked like this…
What a beautiful transformation! Can’t you just imagine spending a lazy summer afternoon there, reading and enjoying some iced tea? I sure can!

Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.

Thank you so much for sharing my screen porch with your wonderful readers!
And you would be so proud of me … not only am I almost complete with my Make it Happen Monday dresser transformation .. a few touchs up and some waxing is up next … but I’ve also added in getting the front yard weeded and pruned and planted! Phew …
🙂

June 7, 2012 at 3:23 pmHaha! It only happened because I’m highly motivated … Debbie-Doo is featuring my home tour tomorrow and I needed a decent shot of the front of the house!

June 7, 2012 at 6:43 pmThis porch is just as charming as Linda herself is! Just love what she did with the space – we’d spend every minute we could in that porch if it was ours! What a great feature choice, Kristi and well done Linda!

June 7, 2012 at 7:20 pmI’m loving curtains on a porch. My neighbor has done that and it really ups the style factor.
Great share!!

June 7, 2012 at 9:27 pmI think it’s gorgeous … I love the bright cushions on the bench! My kids would love it especially with some of that sun streaming in … maybe for ladies with a glass of wine having a chinwag! Looks great!
