Front Porch Swing Update<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Southern living is all about the front porch. In any southern home, especially a historic home such as mine, a front porch swing is a great option for seating and a perfect place to create a gathering space for your family. I partnered with The Home Depot to a create an antique-inspired front porch swing that I can use with my husband and new baby Jackson. Are you looking to recreate your own DIY Front Porch Swing Party with some antique style? I have all the tips you need to get started with help from some great products at The Home Depot.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Step 1: Style Your Swing<\/h3>\n

I styled my Hinkle Chair Company 2-Person Daybed Wooden Porch Patio Swing<\/a><\/u><\/strong> with a mix of modern and antique style by using a thrifted vintage quilt with modern southern pillows from Home Depot including the Hampton Bay Black\/Oatmeal Trellis Square Outdoor Throw Pillow<\/a><\/u><\/strong> I kept the color palette neutral so it is easy to dress it up for any holiday such as New Years, Christmas or event Easter.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Step 2: Paint with Spray<\/h3>\n

Using spray paint from Rust-Oleum is an any easy to add a unique look to your porch swing lounge. I used Rust-Oleum Stops Rust 12 oz. Protective Enamel Gloss Sunrise Red Spray Paint<\/a>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>and for the side tables I used 12 oz. Hunter Green Gloss General Purpose Spray Paint.<\/a><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Step 3: Add<\/strong> Antique Metal Accents<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"Front<\/p>\n

For a vintage style to my pre-made porch swing, I added antique metal accents with Liberty Antique Brass Weave Pattern Round Cabinet Knob<\/a><\/strong><\/u> and Satin Nickel Dual Mount Cup Drawer Pull<\/a>.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 4: Use Floor Tile & Molding Uniquely<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Front<\/p>\n

I wanted to continue with the antique theme throughout my front porch swing and used Great Lakes Tin Hamilton 2 ft. x 2 ft. Nail-up Tin Ceiling Tile in Argento<\/a><\/u><\/strong> to cover up blemishes on a thrifted glass table and it goes perfectly with my Old Dutch 5 gal. Decor Copper Lion’s Head Beverage Cooler<\/a><\/u>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I also utilized some of my favorite New Year\u2019s Eve Traditional Southern dishes in my favorite Old Dutch 12 oz. Mint Julep Cups in Solid Copper.<\/a> <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 5: Make Your Swing the Centerpiece<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Front<\/p>\n

Your swing should be the start of the party. Place your tables and chairs to anchor the swing. I can\u2019t get enough of my Hinkle Chair Company 2-Person Daybed Wooden Porch Swing<\/a>.<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Spend Some Quality Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Front<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the most important part about a\u00a0great party lounge, spending quality time! My husband and son surely enjoyed themselves and we can\u2019t wait to make more memories as he grows up.<\/p>\n
