~Outside Summer Entry~
I figured I better show you how our front stoop looks before it gets changed up for the fall...which by the way I don't do until the end of September.
I decided on leaving the door plain after I had to fix it from the damage my magnetic hook left :( good thing I still had some paint left! I also bought a new rug from Ballards, it's similar to the one I had there before.
I just bought this two tiered planter at a local nursery for $30. I thought that was a steal considering it's size.
I know the fern is called asparagus fern but I can't remember the name of the other plant. I love how it cascades over the sides.
My concrete bunny is sitting just waiting to greet you :)
I added more of the asparagus fern to my concrete urn.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a super weekend!

Love the planter with pretty cascading plants, perfect for your entry!
Love your stoop, and your planter will transition into fall beautifully.
That was a good deal on the planter. It all looks nice.
Martina, your entry is looking very welcoming; it seems as if we just cleaned ours and yet it needs it again...love your planter!
I just bought some if that aspargus fern. I love it. Where have you been?
Its beautiful.. The planter is great. I have two huge asparagus ferns I have had for 4 years. Ijust sit them in the garage and leave them alone...bring them out in March..fertilize them with miracle grow and they are great! Love your entry.. Blessings!
Everything looks lovely, and the rug is so pretty. I am crazy about Ballard Designs!
That is a great looking planter. Good price too!
Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty! Have a great weekend :o)

It looks great, Martina. That trailing plant looks kind of like "snow-on-the-mountain" but I always thought it was a ground plant. I love the planter AND the rug AND the bunny. Okay- that's it- I love it all! xo Diana
Very welcoming, Martina. I love that concrete urn.
Martina, your planter is so pretty. With all of this heat, I am ready to move on to a fall porch. Everything here is fried! Lol!
Your entry looks so pretty, Martina. Love the greenery that looks so lush in your planter.

Great price on the plant stand, and it's a nice size and shape. Asparagas fern is a good doer for me, but I've forgotten to get it the last couple of years. I'm trying to think what the other plant is. It looks a little like Cuban oregano. Does it have a fragrance?
That looks wonderful!! I so need to work on my front entry - on the outside of the house that is!
Have a happy weekend xox
Your stoop is looking good Martina. Fall will be here before we know it.
I love the plants, especially the asparagus fern. Never heard of it before, but I like the look.
The planter looks terrific by your front door. Love the new rug too. I think that the trailer is varigated Swedish ivy. It's a really good choice to plant with asparagus fern.
Glad you are back! Your plants in the planter are so lush and beautiful. Good deal. xo
Very beautiful Martina, I can't wait to see what you have planned for the Fall season. It will be here before you know it!

Your summer entry looks great! Very fresh and welcoming.
HI Martina! Your planter is very nice and I like your plants. Looks like they love it too. The rug looks really pretty with your bricks. So glad to have you back.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Lovely welcoming entry. Can't wait to see the fall version.
Martina, I love the color of your door! Would you happen to know the color name? Everything is beautiful!~~Angela
I think it looks really nice. I am curious to the name or the vine you have draped across the front doorway. Is it a grapevine? Where did you find that?
Your porch looks wonderful Martina. I think I have the exact rug in our living room but in a different color story.
So beautiful and welcoming Martina!

Your entry looks beautiful and very welcoming. Very pretty planter too.
Looks great Martina! The rug is perfect too. I may have to check those out because I need a new one!
Your home looks very inviting...you are reminding me I have to spruce up my neglected front porch!

Your two tiered planter is lovely by the door Martina.
That is a very welcoming entry, Martina. We are currently updating ours but it won't be finished for a bit. We added a new bright white garage door and now all the trim needs to be painted and I'm waiting for one of my brothers to install a new man door into the garage.
Wish I could find good deals like that. Love how your front is very welcoming! Yes it won't be long and we will be decorating for the fall.
Beautiful entry Martina! Love your new rug and planter. I LOVE asparagus fern and use it often in my pots, I actually winterize most of it because it is so big by the end of summer that I don't want to have to start over next year. I bring my pots inside, by a filtered light window and water just a bit over the winter...then put them back out as soon as the last threat of frost.
Thanks so much for sharing at Amaze Me Monday, hope you'll hop back over...
Blessings,
Cindy
