BENCH AND LIGHT
After I posted the previous note, I decided to call a member of my tech support team (youngest daughter), who gave me much needed tech support!
I did a little fancy footwork…..well…..not so fancy, but footwork, just the same.
Voila! A back porch post at Back Porch Musings!
I found the black stripe fabric, to coordinate with the bench cushion and pillows, on the swan bench, at JoAnn fabric.
I’ve had the black iron bench several years.
Replaced the open lantern light with the smaller pendant light.
A view of the back of our home. The triple window to the left is the breakfast room. The next area is the hearth room. The back porch is between the master bedroom and hearth room. The porch is accessible from both rooms.
