White…….the porch looks beautiful 😍
Thank you!! I'm so torn! I love them white too!
Very inviting porch looks cool and refreshing. I vote keep rockers white, might show dirt but not dust.
That is true! my suv is black and it shows every speck of dust!
@@thecrossoncottage I agree white for rockers!
Yes black ❤
I vote white on the rockers with a pillow covers in a black and white stripe...the best of both worlds!!!!!
love it! such a great idea! thank you for watching!!
Love it ❤looks like our Alabama southern porches 😊😊😊
Great job on your porch! I think the rockers are beautiful in white😄
Love the music that went along with it.
I love the porch ❤
How sweet it is...
I like those chairs white . Black gets hot and could burn the little ones . With the extreme heat of Florida white is better to live with . Your porch looks great ❤️
Good thinking! Even though our porch is covered, it gets unbearably hot!
Beautiful porch make over simple and lovely relaxing place you did a great job I like how you turn you porch for your family breakfast .
It was so nice seeing your husband helping you getting it together ❤ everything looks beautiful. Leave them white, I love them
I like the chairs white🎀
Thank you!
Great job on your porch! I think the rockers are beautiful in white and what a great deal you got on them!
thank you! yes we got them for a steal! :)
Great job on decorating your front porch. The only plant I can't keep alive is a Fern.
Thank you!!
I would leave the rockers white. You have alot of other dark accents. 😍 maybe some black and white print seat cushions on the rockers.
ohh i love the black and white cushion idea! thank you!
Hi I am happy that I found your channel, I like your home and you made the porch with so much love! I like that you are Christ followers too and that you are not ashamed of it 🙏🙏👏👏👏 just subscribed:) thank you for sharing greetings from Austria 🇦🇹😍🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much! Greetings to you all the way in Austria! ❤️
@@thecrossoncottage thank you! Have a great week!😊🤗
Definitely Black, I have two black rockers on my porch and absolutely love them.
i think that will be my spring project! 😄
Hi : i like so much your style decor ideas in your porch so beautiful!!! 💓 have a great weekend ❣️
thank you so much for watching!
@@thecrossoncottage thanks 👍 love to see more ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the chairs white looks more sutieable
I went black accents on my front porch and I love it! Several people passing our home, stopped and complimented us on the changes.
that's good encouragement!! i think come winter i might have to paint them! :)
Keep them white 😍 the porch looks great!
thank you!! that seems to be the majority vote! haha
I agree 😊
I love the white chairs it’s all beautiful
Thank you! I think i will keep them white!
The white chairs go with the banisters on the porch. Nice video.
Great job! Keep rockers white...porch looks cozy and welcoming!!
Thank you judy! i think i will, i just need to refresh them! Have a great weekend!
Dry pretty. A good wash always does wonders. Love it all.
Beautiful job! 🥰👵🏽
Welcome to Florida! I am also a Florida girl and you are so tight..the mosquitos are relentless. Your porch looks beautiful! O thing like a big breezy porch!
I think black paint would make them hot to the touch
Great point! Especially in Florida!
So pretty! I especially love the looks of your ferns on the front porch!
Thank you Debbie! I need to grab a few more! They are one of the only plants i can keep alive! lol
Your front porch looks lovely and I could sit out there for hours. ❤
Me as well!!! Until its a million degrees in the summer! I am thinking we need some fans out there! 😅
@@thecrossoncottage I totally agree fans are needed
The rocking chairs look good in white or black cuz the door is black but the window frames are white so either color
First time watching 😊
yay! welcome!! i hope you subscribed! 🥰
I know it goes against the current trends and perhaps color preferences, but a tweedy look in darker tones whether neutral, blue or green are a busy mom's best friend when it comes to camouflaging kid and pet dirt :) It's great that your cushion covers are removable and washable - saves a lot of money. I've seen people on RUclips throw cushions away because they've gotten dirty and perhaps they don't want to be bothered with cleaning them or buying cushion covers that are removable and washable. I don't get it, as I sure don't have money to throw away every season to buy new the next. I store my summer furniture, cushions, rugs and covers in a covered shed, that saves a lot of wear and tear that otherwise would buiild up over a winter, especially where I live in southeast Wisconsin. Mosquitoes get bad in the summer where I live, too. My 3 sisters and I are all "bug magnets" - research has shown that some people produce pheromones that attract insects, and it's more women than men. The suckers will bite me even through Deep Woods Off bug spray! I have a screened gazebo on my patio, which really is a life saver. It looks like you have a screened porch or patio area, which is great! If you want to try to grow roses, look for the "Knock Out" brand of roses. I couldn't survive a Florida summer myself, I don't know about roses, but the Knock Out brand is said to be extremely hardy and resilient and the spent flowers do not need to be dead-headed. It will also rebloom several times during the warm growing season.
I wish we had more storage space for items! my attic is already filled with fall and christmas stuff so i have to be super intentional about what i buy! i bet wisconsin is gorgeous this time of year!
I just moved from Florida to SE Wisconsin and loving it. Decorating my porch now. Those porch cushions are expensive, totally agree, can’t throw those out.
Everything looks beautiful
Team work that’s good ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️
He's the best!
I love the way the porch turned out, I live in California (southern) and we don’t get a lot of seasons here either, but I do have to say it is easy to plan any outdoor activity, we are lucky here we do not get a lot of mosquitos sometimes in the summer but not to many. I think I would paint the rockers I think it would allow them to stand out more. I think Roses are easy to care for just plant them in mostly sun and they will do fine.
Thanks for watching! Cali is beautiful! And thank you for the roses tip!
I would keep the rocking chairs white. I would put cushions with lemons on it !
I think I am going to be ordering some new outdoor pillow covers! I love the chinoiserie print though! Very spring-y!
Love it!! Great job!!🌹
First time seeing your video. Plant City, has the best strawberries 🍓, watermelons 🍉 and other fruits. I live in a small town just west of Tallahassee. My Dad, was a truck driver and would haul seafood, to Plant City. He stop and bring home some fruits from their. Miss those days.
As a life long Floridan, keep your rockers white. Black just attracts heat. For the mosquitoes and yellow flies citronella helps and Downey dryer sheets help some.
Welcome to Florida.
Thank you so much for watching! I love that you have experienced Plant City! It's a great little town! And thank you for the mosquito tips-I've never tried Downy Dryer Sheets.
So beautiful!
Thank you friend!
I painted all our rockers black. It matches the front door and shutters. LOVE THEM! Holli in Texas
ahh! i bet they look stunning! i'm really torn on what to do!
Love it all! Thanks for sharing!! Oh by the way I totally understand the mosquitoes and no seasons. I’m born and raised in Texas, however my hubby and I live in Alabama for the last 2 years and were loving the seasons and really not much mosquitoes♥️
thank you for watching! yes i bet further north of us, it is much more mild and way better with mosquitos! im not looking forward to this summer! lol
Hello. New to your channel. So glad I came across it. Porch looks amazing. You did a wonderful job. I'm in TN. I like the rockers white.
I love Tennessee! Thank you so much for watching! It looks like the rockers are going to stay white! Maybe I will paint them in the fall! lol
You have a lovely inviting porch! Great taste!
Thank you so much friend!
Love it 💕
beautiful decoration of your deck, plants give a lot of life in the home, good job 👍💐
thank you! and i agree! plants definitely make it feel more alive!
Que hermosos los tapetes de la entrada 🥰 y la nena disfrutando del clima ☺🤗 saludos me encanto el vídeo
looks great
We live in Louisiana and we love those Boston Ferns I have them hanging on my front porch
love them! so southern! 🥰
Bring those hanging flowers down to eye level..you'll enjoy them more if you can see them
I want to, but my husband has them hanging out and away from the porch so when they are watered, they don't leak and rot the wood decking 😔
Beautiful !!!
Thank you!!
Oh forgot to tell you get the knockout roses they are very easy to care for ...very easy maintenance except clipping after flower dies....And will rebloom for months esp. in FLA..
I live in SC they start blooming early spring and up to Nov...
I LOVE front porches!! So inviting! We indeed use ours a lot in the summer time 😎 Always the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon lemonade, and an evening glass of wine!
I wish we used ours more in the summer but its just too darn hot! even in the mornings! haha ours gets heavily used in the winter/spring months!
Also use Lemon Candles You can also make a lemon candle get a plain white candle and get some lemon extract aromatic drops, and when a liquid melts put a bunch of drops inside melted liquid. lemon and eucalyptus, they say all natural ways to get rid of mosquitoes also, I just burn a lemon candle Spray some eucalyptus around the patio area when we outside. Lemon grass plants in pots are on my porch & patio also
Beautiful transformation 🥰💜
Thank you! 🤗
Neat house! You always make everything look amazing. We’re in Idaho, it’s been raining a lot here. Thanks for the inspiration
thank you so much Sandra! i guess the rain is good for the spring crops being planted! :)
Personally I'd keep the rocking chairs white but add black cushions.
Beautiful decorating and house ! I like the chairs white ! I live in Baroda Michigan, it’s just starting to warm up here .🌴
thank you so much for watching!! i envy your weather! Northern springs/summers are my absolute favorite!
Girl it looks beautiful I’m from Texas
thank you so much!! :)
I can so relate to the plants 🪴 New subscriber from England 🇬🇧. Loved the porch refresh x
Hey Julie! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Welcome! :)
your porch looks beautiful..just found your channel...look forward to following you...
thank you for watching!! i actually have a friend here in FL whose name is teresa stanley! :)
❤❤❤
Beautiful.
thank you!
I would keep them white, the black is so much harder to keep clean. Besides a little wear on the white makes them look better.
Those bands are great for all bugs that bite you
they seem to be effective! well worth the $5!
The bugs love you because you are from Pennsylvania lol. That is where I am from. When I visit Florida they swarm around me. Your porch looks so inviting! Love the simplicity of it! Great rockers yes I think paining them black would be nice however, I read dark colors attract the bugs. 🦟
hahaha they only bother me so that must be true!! my husband never gets bit! and that is very interesting about the dark colors attracting bugs! so good to know!
Try knockout roses. They are more resistant to pest and drought.
Thank you for the tip!
Oh my ! I would really keep the rocking chairs white because black will show EVERY spot of pollen and dust!
Good point! We get sooo much dust from the strawberry fields!!
Your home is BEAUTIFUL. I would LOVE 💕 to have a porch like that. I just move here to Florida too. Very Hot 🥵 but I LOVE 💕 being here. Lots to do with the kids. Thanks For Sharing
Thank you so much!! Florida is definitely a place where there is ALWAYS something to do or see!! I wish we had less humidity though! lol
@@thecrossoncottage You’re Welcome
Have you ever thought of adding a ceiling fan on your porch
we have thought of it!! we may end up adding some in the future!
Black chairs
New Zealand, we're in the last weeks of Autumn. June 1st is the start of Winter in the Southern Hemisphere 😊
How wonderful! Autumn is my favorite season! I can't wait for the fall and winter here already!!
@@thecrossoncottage yes I love it too😊
White! Contrast with door.
thank you! so true!
👍👍👍
Oh gosh, where did you get the rubber mats for the stairs? Love them❤️
I believe my husband got them at Lowes! ☺
Your porch looks beautiful 🌸🌺🌷I would leave the rocking chairs white plus the mosquitoes love to hide in dark areas trust me I know ☹️
Thank you for the advice! I need to deter mosquitos at all costs! lol
Love the style!! Hey where can I get those rugs?? ❤❤
Thank you! I ordered the large one from amazon and the welcome mat is from marshalls!
I’m in Pensacola! It’s sooo hot here
Ughhhh, it's so brutal! I miss the seasons! haha
Everything looks so beautiful. What color did you guys use to paint your siding?
Thank you so much! We used the color CityScape by Sherwin Williams
@@thecrossoncottage thank you so so much
Last year I painted my white rockers black . Love them ! If you decide to paint yours black and don't like them, you can always paint them white again 😉
that is so true!! thank you!
It’s beautiful. Rose bushes are easy. Give it a try. One hint I would give is to add a chain link to each hanging basket . So they hang a tad lower. A neighbor gave me that hint 40 years ago. I think it makes a huge difference. Just found your channel.
@@tammybolick8972 what a great idea!!! i'll definitely try that next season!
Hello lovely transformation ❤️new subscriber
Thank you so much for watching!
White chairs can be bleached and spot cleaned.
So very true!!!
White
You need to paint them black
You look old but then I'm nice pieces to have I would go ahead and paint them black I don't think you would regret it they would pop they'd stand out they'll never get that dirty and they're really show off your front door your front door looks really nice you can put one chair on the left of the door and the other chair on the right of the door and you would be able to see that coming up in your front yard and that would look so pretty especially right next to a plant
thank you for the input! i might have to reconfigure the setup! :)
Leave white
Okay it must be a glitch in the matrix. Did you just post a picture of your porch in the Aldi of Shame FB group, showing off your Aldi rug????
If so as I was admiring the porch and your video popped up in my YT browsers. Was not previously a subscriber of yours!! Crazy if so but your porch looks nice!!!
hahaha nope that was not me! and my 2 rugs I showed was from Lowes and the other was from rugsUSA! :)
I have the exact furniture on my little side screened porch. I was so disappointed in the cushions. They started molding within a few weeks, yuck. I even covered them with another material and found they still molded underneath. I would never recommend this type cushions. I have no animals on mine and my porch is screened and only has three sides that has dampness, I have one side boxed in. Just a note. I love your diys. Blessings!
Ours as well! even though they are removable, its such a pain to constantly keep clean! we actually just ended up selling ours so now i have to figure out what to do in that space!
Paint chairs a stone color.
love that idea!
you should try to film in 4k!
I am so basic in my tech skills!! lol would 4k be a setting on my camera?
@@thecrossoncottage if your camera can record in 4k, and you would have to upload it in 4k also! Either way hope you post again soon!
@@lindseyo3054 thanks for the tip!!
Please don’t let flower pots hold water mosquitoes 🦟
Your tall planters with the ferns on your front porch would look nice painted black as well as the rockers. It would give it a more cohesive look. The trick to taking care of plants is buying ones that are appropriate for sun or shade and not to over water or underwater. Check the top of the plant by putting your finger a few inches into the soil and see if it feels dry or or wet. These is your clue to water or not to water! There are so many RUclips videos of people giving great advice on plant care!
The ferns look very pretty on your porch.
I lived in Florida for 8 years after being from the Midwest and I just could not live without the change of seasons. To me it is just a part of life. I look at it like this, it is the way we ourselves have seasons of our lives and how boring to be stuck in the same one all the time, but to each their own way of living! Enjoy your pretty porch!
what a great way to look at it! i truly miss the seasons and think eventually we will end up back up north! and thank you for the plant tips!
Your voice is very low and the music is somewhat loud but enjoyed your decor 😅
haha i am still trying to get the hang of editing the volumes! thank you so much for watching though!
Get a Thermacell. Keeps mosquitoes and flying pests away.
I've heard that! I have been on the hunt for some but they seem to be sold out everywhere!!
Your hanging baskets need to be dropped down some. They are too high!
Great videos. One tip. If you do voice overs please keep in mind the volume of your music vs your voice. It’s annoying to have to turn the volume up to hear you speak and then turn down cause the music is so loud. It can really turn viewers off because no one wants to be turning volume up and down constantly through an entire video. Some will just click off the video like I did.
Thanks so much for the tip! 😁
