Hey Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend!
Today, I thought I would share the items that mom & I purchased last week on our little “Mom & Me” shopping date to Kirkland’s! I did a full recap of our date HERE in case you missed it! The shopping trip was part of the “Mommy Makeover” campaign that Kirkland’s has going on this month. We were so happy to be participating in the campaign & my mom was thrilled to be getting spoiled this Mother’s Day!
Mom & I had such a great time browsing through Kirkland’s & found SO MANY items that we wanted to take home, but for this trip, my mom was wanting to focus on items that she could use to freshen up her front porch & give it a little makeover for spring/summer.
Here is a look at mom’s porch “Before”…..
Not too bad…..but not too great either. The space was looking a little bare and wasn’t giving the first impression that she wanted for her guests. But, after a quick trip to Kirkland’s (and shopping the house a bit), the space looks completely different now…..
Ahhh! Much better!
I don’t know about you, but I’m loving this fresh new look! I’m really diggin’ the mixture of whites & creams combined with the blue & green accent pieces. It’s soft, it’s calm, it’s beautiful!
The blue linen pillows were added to the white rocking chairs to bring just a touch of color to the space.
We created a couple of vignettes on each side of the door using items that we purchased from Kirkland’s, as well as items that mom already had on hand.
This olive metal planter came from Kirkland’s as well as the floral arrangements inside of it. We purchased three of these 10 inch arrangements to fill the planter.
Here is a look at the vignette on the opposite side of the door. This one is also a combination of Kirkland’s purchases and things we found shopping the house!
I love this adorable hanging chalkboard that we bought. The scalloped edges & the floral cut-outs are just too cute! It hangs perfectly on the rocking chair and is such a great way to write little messages for her guests!
The metal lantern was also a Kirkland’s find. We loved the color of it & it tied in perfectly with the other blue/green items we had. It holds three tealight candles, which will create a soft & pretty glow at nighttime.
The hydrangea basket on the front door was another purchase that we made on the day of our shopping trip. I love the way it looks hanging on my mom’s front door! The perfect touch of spring! 🙂
And just because I always love a good “before & after“, let’s take a look back at where we started once again…..
And what it looks like today…..
LOVE!! 🙂

What a beautiful transformation!! You chose the perfect little touches. Great job Tonya and what a fun giveaway!
I would buy the Rhonda Wall Mirror. I just love it
Many homes have fireplaces for both warmth and decor.
On the website or through the smartphone apps, you can view your energy usage and compare your usage to people in your geographic region or across the
globe. This keeps your unit from having to work
so hard to heat the water.

I love the Azul mosaic mirror!
This looks SO cute!! I love it! Our back patio could use a little love! Or a lot of love! 🙂
I need to add some color to our front porch, maybe pillows on the bench and a cute vignette like you’ve done here.
Love what you did for your mom on her porch! Love Kirklands! 🙂
I ♥ Rustic Red Metal Wagon for my front porch!
I love that chalkboard and how you can change the message up every season! I also love the wording on your Momma’s door, even though it was there in the before picture.
I love your mom’s porch makeover and I love Kirkland’s. Every chance I can when I am in Amarillo that is my store I always stop at first. I love a bench they have in there and someday I am going to buck up and buy it, but when I go online I find myself gravitating to their outdoor living section and looking at the butterfly bench! I <3 it!
ahh this is so cute!! white rocking chairs have been on my NEED List for forever for this exact reason!! I love them and everything else you did with everything you got!! It all looks so fresh and inviting!!
This was hard, but i really like the silver plated table lamps.
Love it! You do a great job! My fave is the lantern!
I like the Angelica Taupe bedding set.
