Hello friends!
Y'all ready for another makeover!!
Most major projects that I take on begin with a single spark of inspiration, and then everything snowballs from there. Kinda of like that childrens book if you give a mouse a cookie....he'll ask for a glass of milk. And if you give him the glass of milk he'll probably ask for a straw. And so on! When it comes to the front porch makeover that I am sharing with yall this week...the cookie of this story is this fireplace surround that I am currently building...and next there came a massive floor painting project...and the finished project is a chef's kiss and a nod to a french provincial courtyard that is just to die for. I truly hope that y'all will stick around to watch the process as well as the final reveal.

First time watching your channel. Love your style and that you don't talk so fast...I like your calm personality. The porch is very attractive!
Well thank you so much! I’m definitely not a fast talker…but my family says I talk too loud sometimes, though. 😂 Thank you so much for giving my channel a try!! ❤️
My first time too. Love watching the process and the results!!
@@bonniewilson7623 thank you so much for watching and commenting!! ❤️
I loved the fact that u repurpsed materials and brought ur Vision to light. Beautiful job!
I always try to do that whenever possible. Wood isn’t cheap and I would rather use what I have before I have to buy new. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
Beautiful work. Love the mantel and all. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!! I'm so happy with how the porch turned out!
Very bold move to paint a porch floor that pattern! You committed to the vision & it definitely enhanced the exterior and gave it a lot of character and curb appeal 👍
I was fully committed!!! 😂 I’m so glad I stuck with it, because I absolutely love how it turned out! Thank you for watching!
OMG!!! That B&W porch is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it soooo much!!! ❤️
Your porch looks awesome. I like that you painted the swing black, too. It balances everything out.
I think so too!! Once I painted the floors the swing just looked dingy in the off white. I love it in black! Thank you so much for watching!
Oh my goodness it looks so cozy and welcoming! I love your mantle and the terracotta pots but that FLOOR!!❤ You did a great job.
Thank you so so much!!! I’m so excited how it all came together! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Absolutely beautiful! I really love the calmness of your video and the lovely music! Great job! I look forward to more!
Awww thank you so so much!!! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave such a sweet comment. ❤️
I can only imagine how proud you are of all your accomplishments Carin! Heck I’m so proud of them!! You are amazingly talented ❤️ And beautiful, love the dress.
Awww thanks Sharen!! I’m definitely proud!! It makes my heart so happy every time I step outside the front door. Thank you so much for being a part of this little community!! ❤️
Love your eye, style is timeless.
Thank you so much!! ❤️

The floor was definitely a labour of love, but what an amazing transformation. Everything looks so good and inviting. 10/10 🎉

Lots of hard work! This is so creative and all works so well together. Love the ferns and the wreath with all the black and white

What a stunning transformation! Everything is so peaceful. Thank you for taking us along for the journey. God Bless!
Thank you!! I love it so much and have really enjoyed spending time out there. God Bless!! ❤️
Wow that turned out amazing my favorite thing is the floor such an impact ❤
It really is a showstopper!! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Now I know what I’m gonna do with a similar empty wall on my back patio! Brilliant idea! My husband is a seasoned carpenter. He’s already built our interior mantels AND swings. Our current house lacks a swing 🫤 Not for long…LOL. Such a gorgeous porch. So cozy. Thanks for sharing your work and ideas 😊
Oh I am so glad that you have been inspired to do something similar!! I just know it will all turn our amazing!! Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a sweet comment! ❤️
WOW! I love everything you did in this video- amazing transformation of your porch!
Thank you so much!!! I’m so excited about how it turned out! ❤️
Respect! Dang, what a bold and beautiful move painting the floors. I love the way it turned out. I've been admiring that mantel in your other videos and genuinely thought it was a vintage piece that you salvaged somewhere- now I know! Great job!
Ohhh I appreciate that so much!! We have two vintage/antique mantels inside the house so I knew that I wanted to build something similar for the porch. I can't wait until Christmas! I have so many idea of how I can decorate it. ❤️
Fabulous job as always! I love painted floors.
Thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️
Looks amazing. You are a true craftswoman!
Awww thank you so much!!! ❤️
Beautiful design. A throw on one of the chairs and on the swing would also be so inviting
Excellent idea!! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! ❤️
I had painted my front porch floor black several years ago & I see it needs some TLC ........hmm...... probably leaning towards this creativity of yours, thanks for the inspiration ❤
It’s such a timeless design!! I say go for it!! ❤️
Love, love, love the porch and so enjoy your posts. And… I so understand your comment about the humidity. We live in a historic home in Palestine Texas and have been doing a makeover on our back yard including a vegetable garden, two new flower beds and over seeding our lawn. The humidity has been brutal. Keep the inspiration coming.
Thank you so so much!!! Ohhh I know exactly where Palestine is!! My family has ridden the Polar Express out of the Texas State Railroad depot out there. Such a beautiful part of the state!! And yes….the humidity is brutal!!! Thank you so much for being a part of this little community!!
Everything you do is beautiful. Such talent! You are so real & I can see you are a genuinely wonderful Woman. No need to apologize about the laundry in the video. lol It was way more fun decorating. 💛 decorating
Thank you so so much!!! It was definitely way more fun working on the porch!! The laundry could wait! 😂 I can’t thank you enough for your sweet comment. ❤️
So sweet to find soul sisters! Love your style and even the Gymnopedie 1 you always choose for your videos. One of my favorites pieces and listen to it looped for hours. Thanks for sharing! Absolutely stunning ❤🎉
I love it so much too!!! I’m thrilled that others love and appreciate it as well. Thank you so much for your sweet comment! ❤️
Carin, the more I watch your channel the more I really enjoy your style. The Mantle and floor is amazing great job !!! Your friend in Athens Georgia 😃😃
Awww Terry….I appreciate that so much!!! Blessed to have you as part of this little community!! ❤️
Looks wonderful!!❤
Thank you so much Debra!! ❤️
That turned out very nice! Love it.
Thank you sooo much!! ❤️
Love your design. Looks so sophisticated.
Thank you so much Linda!! I definitely wanted it to feel sophisticated!! ❤️
Oh my goodness! Your porch floor is stunning. You did a marvelous job. It is funny how one project with send us into another project. Seldom do I start one project than suddenly I realize there’s another one I need to do that will compliment the first one. Congratulations! 😊❤😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It happens everytime! My projects always have a chain reaction. ❤️ Thank you so so much for watching and for leaving such a sweet comment!
Your porch looks amazing. Such a beautiful place to relax.
Thank you so so much!! ❤️
Carin, I cannot believe you completed this project so quickly. You are amazing. The floor is spectacular and must have been a labor of love and your finished porch is just beautiful. I would love sitting there reading, as I am sure you will.
I was highly motivated, that’s for sure!! I also knew it was going to rain that weekend and I needed to get it done before then. 😂 I’m just so excited to have it done! It honestly turned out even better than I had hoped. Thank you so much for your sweet comment! ❤️
Hi Carin! I’m behind on my CZcams watching-lots of gardening and other things to do! Beautiful front porch makeover, not just a refresh. Again, your carpentry and DIY skills created lovely results and I am amazed by your skills. Looks like side piazzas in Charleston! Thank you for sharing this endeavor with us!
Yes!! I would love to make it to Charleston someday...and I imagine I would see very similar styles there! Thank you so much for always leaving such sweet and encouraging comments!! ❤️
All are great! The blue is my favorite. ❤️
Thank you so much for watching!!
Absolutely lovely. You are so creative!
The music was very enjoyable…so peaceful and calming, a welcome sound.
I grew up near Nacogdoches, Texas but live in Dallas now. I still go back home to visit my Mom regularly. I am very familiar with that humidity you spoke of. 😓
Thank you so much Rebekah! My favorite videos to watch are the peaceful, calming ones…so I think that is why I try to create that same environment in mine. I love Nacogdoches! My best friend from high school graduated from SFA. It’s such a lovely part of the state!!
Beautiful transformation!!! Love the diamond pattern and the fireplace mantel and swing add the perfect touch to your patio. I just decided to paint my swing black!!! Love yours
Thank you so much for your sweet comment!! Painting the swing black was definitely the right choice. It balances out the porch!! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Looks so Cozy and you are Amazing Creator! ❤❤❤
Awwww that means the world to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️
Totally love dymond thanking of putting them inside my foyer love how it turn out absolutely beautiful the mantel chairs even the topiary great job by the way love u fur cat baby 😊
Thank you so much Martha!!! My daughters tuxedo cat loves to make appearances in my videos. 😂❤️
Hi Carin.. What a brave yet wonderful idea you had to paint your porch!! It turned out so nice.. I think you said you were taking on some big projects this year and you weren’t kidding 😆I can’t imagine doing this myself but you have definitely motivated me to try some wallpaper in my bathroom and I just scored a hutch for my kitchen that I’m thoroughly enjoying displaying my antique dishes I’m collecting☺️ Your mantel turned out great and really adds to the French flair you were going for.
Thanks again for another inspirational video.
Your Kentucky friend,
Belinda
Hi Belinda!! I wasn’t kidding when I said I had some big projects in store for y’all this year. I’m hoping to start the next one next month. 🤞🏻I’m so blessed to have you in this community and I’m so humbled to have played a small part in inspiring projects in your home. ❤️
you did a fantastic job, deary!....love the diamond pattern
Awww thank you Angela!! I’m so excited! ❤️
Bold indeed! Very pretty!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Just found your channel and I’ve already watched a few videos. I’m from south Texas too and I totally understand how humid it gets. We have similar decorating style. I love decorating with family heirlooms and thrifted finds. Look forward to watching more of your videos. 😊🌸
Awww thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you found my channel and gave it a try. Thank you again!! ❤️
Wow!! It turned out SO pretty!!
Thank you soooo much!!! ❤️
Sorry I'm late catching the video! For some reason there were several channels that i watch and never got the notifications 🤷🏽♀ But I absolutely love the fireplace surround, it beautiful!❤ You did an amazing job on it! And the floor.. its just so pretty! You did amazing on both! And it's styled so pretty too..i love it all❤ You definitely captured the vibe you were going for!😊
No worries!! I appreciate you taking the time to catch up! That happens to me a lot too. I don’t know why! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I love the porch so much! I’ve been spending a lot of time out there! ❤️
I have porcelain tiles done in this same style, I love it, not many people see my vision, it’s a new build, not completed as yet, hopefully in a few months I will be able to decorate my porch. It is on an upper floor and gets a northerly wind. Living in a small Caribbean island and the rainy season will start soon. My porch will be getting the full brunt of the weather.
Ohhh that sounds absolutely amazing!! Yes! Porcelain tile is an excellent choice in those conditions as opposed to painting. Congrats on the new build!! ❤️
Wow! I love the porch. You did great 👍
Thank you!!! I’m still loving it!! ❤️
So romantic ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! ❤️
About 15 years ago, I did this pattern on my farmhouse porch and I loved it! I had never seen it done, and it was so eye-catching!
It’s such a timeless design. You really can’t go wrong! ❤️
Very nice job on the porch reno! Looks picture perfect. Congrads :)
Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous!! I have been thinking of doing the diamond pattern on my walkway in gray and a creamy white. Maybe I will try it now. Your porch is dreamy. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi Nichole!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for your sweet comment. ❤️ I’m so excited with how the whole project turned out!! Maybe I won’t dislike being outside when the weather gets hot and steamy here in TX now. 😂
You are so talented. It's gorgeous
Awwww thank you!! ❤️
Beautiful transformation!!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Love that you include Gymnopedie in every video. Makes my musical little heart sing a little ❤ also.... LOVE the floor!
It’s one of my absolute favorite pieces of music! ❤️
I love this idea
I love it so much!! ❤️
Stunning!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Turned out beautiful😍. Love your channel 😊❤️🙏.
Thank you so so much!!! ❤️
I LOVE it.
Thank you so much Linda!! ❤️
Very beautiful! Love it, the only thing I would change is getting a lower table in front of the fireplace and putting some
Battery operated candles (maybe in a pretty lantern)
Thank you so much!! I don’t disagree about the table. Eventually I will replace it with something a bit shorter, but for now I decided to work with what I have. Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Girl, all I ever want for xmas, birthdays even for mothers Day are tools. My family used to think I was crazy but now they expect nothing more of me. I don't want diamonds, furs, cars or a new house... I'll build that myself and they know it. 😂
Yessss!!!!!! I think we are kindred spirits!! I haven’t built a house yet….I did build a really cute, little chicken house. ❤️ Thank you so much for watching!!
Beautiful!💐
Thank you!! ❤️
First, I am amazed that you built the fireplace surround in the house!!!! I would have screwed something to the floor for sure!!! And painting in the house!!!! What confidence! Talk about sweat equity!!!! You did an amazing job. Loved the black, white and moss green combination.
Hahahaha…thankfully with the wood tile floors I think I’m safe from screwing anything into them. I actually like working in the house, especially when it gets hotter outside. I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out how to do it without messing anything up! I’m so excited with the finished project!!! Thank you so much for your sweet comment!!
Love everything! Good job!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Oooh I love this!!! ❤❤❤ so SO good!
Awww thank you so much!! ❤️
Beautiful!
Hard work.
Thank you so much!! I’m so pleased with the final result! ❤️
Beautifull realisation you're great !!!!! Hello from Belgium
Thank you so much!!!! ❤️
First time watcher so I want to capture my over all response as well as one directed to project. I hope you find them useful. First -- beautiful result on makeover. Love the floor especially. Glad you explain tools as you go. Now what I wish had happened -- speed up sections for things like repetitive painting and construction of mantle once the process is explained. A view of the entire porch in a single shot from off the porch -- as if I was a visitor walking up to the porch. I believe the full aspect of the romance would stand out. And I love that you mentioned the owls and that you had laundry in a chair which is the reality of being in the middle of a project!
Hi Margaret!! Thank you so much for your honest feedback. I strive to improve with every video and I’m having the best time learning to make quality videos. Thank you so so much for taking the time to watch and for leaving such a thoughtful comment! ❤️
Beautiful ❤
Thank you so much!! ❤️
What a wonderful job you did creating your vision for the front porch. Everything turned out so beautiful.
I love when a project turns out even better than I pictured it in my head!! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Beautiful porch!!
Thank you so much!! I love it so much! ❤️
The workmanship is amazing l give you so much credit your porch looks so inviting to sit and just relax you are just amazing.

Muchas Gracias!!!! ❤️❤️
First time watching you. Certainly enjoyed this video. Very relaxing. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing!! I appreciate that so much!! ❤️
Stunning makeover!
I'd suggest some pot "feet" to protect your new floors...and they're cute too.
Yes!! I plan on doing that for sure!
Thank you again for watching!!
This is my first time watching your channel and this certainly was a great one. Absolutely a stunning makeover of the front porch. The diamond floor design is a show stopper. I'm drawn to black and white myself and find it classic. Bringing things that you see on the inside out to the porch makes your home cozy and welcoming. Enjoy your hard work. ❤
Awww thank you so much for taking a chance and clicking on my video!! Black and white is so timeless whether in fashion or interior design. You can’t go wrong!! I appreciate your sweet comment so much!
Beautiful
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Your porch is absolutely beautiful! Great job. Love the music. Very relaxing. New subscriber. Glad I found you.
Awww thank you!! I’m so glad you found my channel too!! ❤️
Great job!
Thank you so much Patti!! ❤️
Amazinggggg❤ I’m inspired!
Ohhh thank you so much!!! I’m so glad that you are inspired! ❤️
Your an absolute genius! This looks sooo Beautiful 😊
Awwww thank you!!! I’m not sure if it’s genius or madness! 😂❤️
It turned out verry nice!love the black n white
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Wow, not only are you stunning beautiful but you are just super talented. It just amazes me how you come up with these special ideas and how you can produce them the way you do.
Thank you! ❤️ I think I’m equal parts creative and crazy!!! 😂 I can’t wait to share some of the other crazy ideas that I have for the house with everyone later this year. If you can’t tell…I’m not very good at sitting still!
@@ourhomeonlawrence totally agree with you about sitting still. We don’t watch very much TV and to be honest, even watching videos like this makes me antsy. I think that’s why I enjoy your videos so much because they are short in length but full of inspiration.
@@ChrisKlein-zq8oi well you will be happy to know that this weeks video is uploading now…and it’s only about 15 minutes long. 😂 Short and to the point this week! See y’all in the comments!!
HAPPY Friday in April my Talented, Creative, beautiful friend, family, and fur babies. WOW! That's all I can say. Enjoy your weekend. STTB
Hi Barbara!!! I hope you are doing well. ❤️ Thank you so much for always taking the time to watch and leave such a sweet comment. I so look forward to seeing you here!
Stumbled on to your channel…first time…love your style..just subscribed..
Thank you so much for subscribing!! I’m so happy to have you here! ❤️
Having built a fireplace surround in a room that didn’t have one repainted the inside of the fireplace black which you do not want to do but you could take a piece of plywood and paint it black and it would look more like a real fireplace not having to paint the brick. Absolutely love your floor. I have done that only I Did a used brick Pattern which would not have worked for you.
That is such a good idea! I may just do that! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
Beautiful 🖤🤍
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Not exactly into design shows or CZcams. Also not exactly sure how this video came across my feed but I am definitely not disappointed. Whoever she is she is just wow beautiful. But very creative though.
Awww well thank you!! I appreciate you watching even though it isn’t your usual content!
What an amazing job you completed. I absolutely love how everything came out. I’m in Southwest Texas, are you preparing for the heat? I dread it every year. If you are ever coming through my area you should stop by. Take care ~ Janet 😘
Awww thank you so much!! I honestly dread summer. I was born in Arizona and would take a hot summer there over a hot and humid one in TX. I love your part of TX!!! ❤️
I am very impressed with your varied skills! Your front porch is amazing! I also noticed a photograph of a little girl at a piano while you were painting. Is that little girl you? Are you playing the piano music we hear in your videos? If you say yes, then I will know that you can truly do everything! Lol I am from East Texas though I live in Houston, Missouri now. I went to college at Sam Houston State University and grew up on a farm between Huntsville and Livingston, Texas just off of US 190. Are you familiar with that area? Just curious.
Hi Sandra!! Yes that little girl is me! My grandpa actually took that photo and had it printed and framed when I was little. They had it hanging in their house for several years until they had to sell it. And now it hangs in mine! The piano that I’m playing is the same one that I have in our home as well I just painted it. However, sadly, that is not me playing the piano in the background. My skills on the piano were never quite that good. But I dabble a bit. Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
And yes, I know exactly where those areas are! They’re not too terribly far from me!!
@@ourhomeonlawrence thank you for sharing. I have two other friends on You Tube that are from that area as well. I love to stay in touch with "home folks"!
First! ❤😂
YAY!!!!! ❤️😂
May I ask why you opted for exterior paint vs patio/conrete paint for the checkered floor. Thank you !
Honestly, I don’t know. I did want to use the same paint for the black squares, mantle and swing…so I went with a good exterior paint for all of that to save money. The sealer that I used is specifically for concrete, though. I did two coats of it over the span of several hours. We ended up having rain that weekend and everything held up really well. Thank you so much for watching!
Hi, can you tell me where did you get the white metal cylinder with detail design on it that the plant was on. Thanks!!
Sure! I found it at Hobby Lobby several years ago. I can’t remember if they have something similar this year or not, but I bet they do!
Everything turned out so beautifully! You definitely are very talented and creative. I love what you’ve done to your front porch. ❤
Awww thank you so much!! I’m so pleased with how the porch turned out! ❤️
