Gorgeous porch inspiration for spring

FREE IMAGES First day of spring, and it's been snowing here in Maryland for 6 hours. Hopefully this is the last hurrah for winter. This year, I am determined to have some sort of little container garden on my front porch, so I've been collecting some inspiration.

We don't have space or a roof for a swinging sofa, but how awesome would that be?

I really like pots cascading down the stairs...just not the green orbs.

A pop of color with the shutters makes these stand out, as well as them not being the typical shutters you'd find. I love the simplicity of it.

Adding an arbor and some great lighting can drawer you attention in. I also love that these shutters are the same size as the windows and doors!
