‘Tis the season for outdoor living–and outdoor living rooms–and we couldn’t possibly be happier about it! If you need a little inspiration for a porch spruce of your own, look no further. These breathtaking photos will have you feeling like summertime!
We’d love to have a nice sit and a long chat on any of these porches with all of you!

Good morning, chic readers! Another week of social distancing and basically not leaving the house has us concentrating on all the little touches we can add for spring.
If you’ve been a Design Chic follower for a while, you know how much we depend on light fixtures to change the look of a room. This one is too good to be true!
A new nightstand can totally jazz up a bedroom. We love a pair, but it really isn’t a requirement! A mismatched set can be eclectic and cool.
And you know that really great feeling you get when you have a fresh, clean set of sheets to crawl between? Imagine when you have an entire fresh, clean set of bedding!
And hanging chairs make it even better! They are one of our most favorite design elements.
During these times when the great outdoors are bringing us so much solace, they really do deserve to be celebrated.
And these outdoor spaces do just that in high style, from main pieces to finishing touches. Are you planning on making any changes to your home or porch for spring?
Ready for a new spring read to enjoy on your fresh made-over porch? Check out Feels Like Falling, the book Mary Kay Andrews called, “Your next summer sizzler!” Preorder now to avoid shipping delays. Official release date April 28, 2020.
We’re teaming up with some AMAZING, talented makers, artists and creators to offer five super fun days of giveaways for YOU! Why? Because we’re celebrating that my sixth novel, Feels Like Falling, releases in less than ONE MONTH! Can you even believe it?
