Painting, mulching, planting and decorating to welcome Spring!

Hi there welcome to Sweet Tea N' Salty Air so happy you stopped on in . I have been sprucing up for Spring, I painted all the concrete in the screened in porch as well the outer covered area. I went through 15 bags of red mulch between the front flower bed and the back yard lounging area. Today I am going to share the screened in porch where everything has to be wash and wear and can be packed up with little notice just in case of tornado or hurricane weather. The porch has to also be fishing pole/bathing suit and sand friendly. I chose a deep greyish brown color for the cement floor. White blinds and Tricycle red for the furniture. Most of all I want it to be a welcome fun place for all to enjoy!


 This is the backdoor entrance I hung a tobacco ladder to display some of grams doilies she made along with my cow picture inspiration from Pier 1 and of course lots of white lights


 I have a slew og paint can lids that I save so I made some coasters
I hand painted this sign to add some fun And the bit about fishtales so true I hear them all the time

I set up a smoothie station , we love smoothies and drink them all the time.....banana, strawberry and my all time favorite Mango. This will serve as a place to pull up a stool and have a little lunch or to spread a buffet as well and even fry fish I will not fry it in the house if you know what I mean.

 The backdrop is an old Farm house screen and I crafted a rag garland to attach. Lots of color!

 This cute little vintage step end table was just given to me last week it was just the bare brown wood so I gave it a lick of the red paint.

 Right outside the screen is a garden of flowers including bird of Paradise



This porch will be used a lot during the summer seeing that we live a skip away from the water which brings tons of huge mosquitos . Hope you enjoyed the Spring fun and if your not Springing it up in your area don't worry the cold weather will be gone before you know it.

Thanks for joining me today!
