Spring front porch part 2

I finally got the bench done yesterday.  This morning I got the back area of the front porch decorated.  I am still waiting for the cushions and pillows that will go with the table and chairs so they are not on the porch yet. I guess there will be a part 3.  The cushions are supposed to be here tomorrow and the pillows were just shipped out yesterday.

Here is the bench.

Here is the before picture.  The bench is black with green.  I have had this bench for twelve years.  We have another one on the back porch.  I might just cut it down too.  My hubby cut the slats and the cast iron back for me.  Of course something always has to go wrong.  One little piece of the iron broke off so I had to glue it back on.  I painted the cast iron parts bronze metallic and the slats almond.

Now for the decorations.  Love this look.

More pictures.

I just love all these colors.  Since the trees and flowers haven't bloomed yet this is the next best thing.  The bench was four feet wide and now it is 30 inches wide.  More like an over sized chair.  I always painted the table. It was the same color as the bench.  I like the bronze color much better.  It will go better with the table and chairs now.  Check back at the first of the month for part 3.
