Project #9 Porch Clean Up

One of our major projects for the summer was to clean up our back porch. We have an awesome covered porch, and unfortunately for the last year or so, it's been uninhabitable! How did it get this way??? Well, a while back we started to clean out the garage....our other messy area, and we piled all kinds of stuff out on the porch while sorting it. Well, then it became fall, and then winter...and the stuff just stayed out there. What a mess!

Here are some pictures of our "Clean Sweep"! (And yes, we are a little embarrassed by the before shots!)

We love our "new" porch and spend many nights out on the sofa enjoying the cool air.

I love your porch. I need to come and experience it! Actually, Joe and I want to roof our back patio... so I really do want to come and see it and get ideas. I'll bring the chips and salsa!
