Posting our Blue Cottage porch for #DecorCrushThursday. Sweet Gina from @every.chic.way invited me to contribute, and our porch is my current favorite. It's usually full of our extra furniture, but I decluttered it, painted the railing, landscaped, and I'm truly enjoying it for the first time since we moved in 3 years ago. Would @fancyfarmgirl @quince_cottage @thefoundcottage @our_forever_farmhouse @therusticlife like to play along?

Our low-cost DIY backyard deck, made out of 4 pallets and covered with a $25 camping mat. The plants are weeds, the umbrella for the beach, and I scored the metal retro chairs last year for $10 at Target. :) #backyard #deck #outdoorliving #summer #pallets #outdoordecor #diy #diyblogger

The other side of our porch. Hanging the shower curtains to keep the rain away from our porch furniture was the smartest idea I've ever had - they are working out great! #diy #porch #bluecottage

I spent some time decluttering and decorating the porch this afternoon. Now we can really enjoy it. #porch #bluecottage

Happy #fourthofjuly from the Blue Cottage! Beautiful summer day here in Westchester, with a breeze and sunshine. Don and L are at the pool, and I'm actually going to sit on the porch for a few minutes and read a magazine. #blessed #fourthofjuly #bluecottage #westchester #cottage #katonah

Free West Point fireworks in the middle of a Shakespeare play - so fun. The actors stopped so we could all enjoy them. #fireworks #boscobel #westpoint

This must be the best setting to enjoy Shakespeare - at Boscobel in a tent overlooking the Hudson River. #theater #shakespeare #asyoulikeit #hudsonvalley #hudsonriver #comedy

We're having a picnic overlooking the Hudson River before we enjoy Shakespeare at Boscobel. Doesn't get better than this. #boscobel #picnic #hudsonvalley #shakespeare
