Are you like me? The very first parts of my home that I am in a hurry to spruce up for the summer are our outdoor spaces. I want to get them whipped into shape as quickly as I can so we can take full advantage of outdoor living during the summer!
Today is the first day of a full week of the Blogger’s Best Home Tours for summer 2023, hosted by my friend Kelly from The Tattered Pew. Kelly’s blog is a wonderful mix of home decor, inspiration and encouragement and she is one of sweetest souls that I’m blessed to connect with.
I love how she used blue and green for the summer in her entry, family room and kitchen.
If fact, if you’re coming over from The Tattered Pew, welcome to Worthing Court!
Buckle up for lots of pictures because I’ve worked hard over the last few weeks cleaning and painting and sewing to my front porch a cheerful, summer refresh!
Today, we’re looking at my front porch, but you can see how I decorated my screen porch for the summer here.
A little over a year ago, I started moving away from farmhouse style and have been embracing more of a timeless decorating style. I love the ease and comfort of farmhouse decor, but at my core, traditional decor has my heart. ❤️
The front porch may look quite a bit different, but the only permanent change that I made was to paint our stained wood Adirondack chairs white. Making that one change totally transformed the look of our porch.
If you’d like to see them when they were stained, take a look HERE at last summer’s front porch.
The painted version of the chairs was debuted for last year’s fall front porch, which was decorated with navy and burgundy. It was so pretty!
The rest of the new, refreshed look was accomplished with pillows, bench cushions and different accessories that I pulled from my stash.
It’s entirely possible that my very favorite things on the front porch are the brightly colored blue and green pagoda pillow covers.
I love them so much that I intend to move them to the inside of the house when summer is over.
You can easily tell that I love to mix patterns! Luckily, I can provide you with links to everything, or something similar, in case you’d like to embrace this color palette too:
- Blue and white check bench cushion – currently buy one/get on 50% off
- Blue and green lumbar pillow cover – multiple sizes and shapes available
- Blue and green pagoda pillow cover
- Green and white check pillow covers – set of two
- Blue and white lumbar pillow covers (similar)
I’ve used large gray baskets, turned upside down, as end tables for several years. To freshen them up this year, I purchased an unfinished wood table round for each one and spray painted them a pretty shade of blue.
Thank you for coming by for a visit on my summer-styled porch today!

Suzy, your porch decor is absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the cozy setting you’ve styled on your back porch–pinned! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Suzy, your porches look fabulous for summer! I love the cheerful colors – I would be hanging out on your beautiful screen porch every day. You’ve found some great thrifting treasures lately, but I did spy that gorgeous blue planter on the coffee table you bought when we were at High Point Market. And that colorful table setting just makes me happy!!💙💚
The blues and greens are perfect for Summer. Beautiful Tour.

Suzy!! I love your porch! It’s what porch dreams are made of!!!! I have an oversized stoop and can’t do all the gorgeous things you have done with your front porch, but I’m definitely going to be stealing some of this inspiration for our back patio!! Thanks so much for sharing! Always a joy to hop with you!

Wow you have been busy Suzy! Your outdoor spaces are so pretty, and I’m loving the mix of blue and green shades in those patterns!
I LOVE your outside areas decorated in blue and green, Suzy. Those woven basket-tables are perfect, and I love the idea of adding the painted wood tops! So smart! The hutch looks perfect on your screened-in porch, too… and I think it’s so neat that you have a TV that you use during the summer! Pinned, and always, love touring with you (and I can’t believe I am!) Hugs, dear friend!
Your home is just gorgeous Suzy!! Loved taking a virtual trip to visit you!
Suzy, wow your porches are stunning.
I love the new look and the blues, greens and pops if yellow are perfect.
Great touring with you!
I am loving all the pretty blue and green! It’s the perfect combo for a lazy summer day!
Happy almost summer, and cheers to sipping Ice Tea on that covered porch!
Beautiful shades of blue and green! all of the pretty pillow and accessories make your porch look picture perfect.
Well all your hard work paid off! It looks amazing and better than a vacation spot! Love the colors and how happy everything looks. Your small details are also fantastic. Now I want to put a hutch and lamp somewhere on our porch. A hutch will never fit but a girl can dream. So glad I got to see the tour. Happy Summer!
Suzy, you had me at your first blue checkered bowl and I was hooked! I love the colors! Now I am ready for summer!
