Things are progressing along in my plans for the porch. Painting for me is always the biggest step in a project. The color on the walls sets the tone for the room. Most of the time I choose to go neutral in order to let the fabric and accessories be the colorful aspect in the room. This porch will be a little different. 

I want it to have a beach inspired style. I’m not talking sand and seashells everywhere. The beach inspiration will come in the colors and textures. I am painting the walls and trim Benjamin Moore Decorators White but I will be treating the ceiling as the fifth wall, which will be painted with Benjamin Moore Harbor Fog. 

The floors will add to the beach inspired style as well. I love stripes and I’ve been pining picture after picture of painted and more importantly striped floors. So the plan is to paint some stripes using Benjamin Moore Decorators White and Coventry Gray. 

I’ve got some work ahead of me but I can’t wait to see the finished product! Come follow my “Great look for a porch” Pinterest board to get some ideas of your own!
