Come sit on the Veranda and swing...


Create Your Own

I'm loving how colorful my porch/veranda has become! After having the house painted in the fall things are slowly coming together. I painted the door in photoshop to see what color I'd actually want to paint it...I still haven't decided yet. After looking up the definition for veranda our porch definitely qualifies as one so I've decided to call it that from now on...I feel so relaxed and peaceful when I sit and swing on the veranda, the colors inspire me creatively!
What inspires you?

  2. The veranda is soooo inviting Aileen. Some day I will come and visit you and we will swing on the veranda and sip mint juleps (ok, margaritas). Have you considered a pattern on the door jam? or even altering the door (like your table)?

  3. Aileen, your veranda is absolutely beautiful and very inviting and welcoming. Someday I will make the journey out to California and would love to sit there with you and drink ice tea.

  4. Love it Aleeeeen.
    I like the door that color. It makes it look really big! You should call the Bee and have them put a color pic of your house in the paper. It's so cheerful!

  7. Looks like you're going to be having a lot of company. We'll let Lorri and Joanne drink the tea while we work on the gin transfer potion. Connie can choose between the 'ritas or transfer potion. :) Love your veranda!!!

  8. Like the new masthead on your blog. Glad you are considering painting the door. Love the sunflowers in the bathtub! Yours is the most cheerful house I've ever seen! And, as you know, I have a personal thing for verandas.

    A charming slide show. :))

  12. Oh Aileen, this looks fabulous. I would not recognize the house today. But, hummm, I remember the way. I need to do a drive-by (in the BEST sense of the word). LOL

  13. It looks wonderful, Aileen! What a great place to watch the world go by or to sit and spin or even to read a book. I have always wanted a house with a big wrap-around porch... I mean veranda. ;-)) I covet your mailbox too! And the flowering bathtub is great.
