My home is a 1938 cottage style home so it already has a ton of charm all by itself. But I wanted to add a little something more. I am so happy with how my front porch turned out. If you know me at all, then you know I love painted ceilings! I think this is such a whimsical and unexpected design element for my porch. I have a tutorial for you today on how I was able to paint this fun pattern using
Scotch Blue Painters Tape With Edge Lock Technology. And later this week I will share my side porch. It was in SAD shape and needed to function better. But for now, here is my front porch!!!!
I added some boxwoods on either side of my door as well. I LOVE boxwoods.
I have shown my porch before back when I painted the stairs and my mail box. But I have never posted pictures of my whole house.
I also got a new light!
I partnered up with Scotch Blue to create this project. They sent me their new painters tape with Edge Lock technology. It was perfect for this project. Here is a video tutorial on how I was able to paint the diamond pattern.

Stacy, you have such a beautiful home. Wow, look at all your pretty flowers. I love the pattern you painted on your porch.
That turned out wonderful now I wish I had a front porch ... "Ohhh Matt!!!"
OMG - that turned out just spectacular - the historic colors you chose make it look so authentic -
BEAUTIFUL!
Hugs,
This is amazing! I have always loved the harlequin pattern. I love that you thought to put it up on the ceiling of the front porch! Thx for sharing.
Amazing ceiling. I have a similar entry but this wouldnt work for me my ceiling is vinyl.
wish I could do it though.
That looks amazing!! My neck never would have been able to do that! lol! Love your place!

I am so in love with your darling home. Great work!
That looks fabulous--gosh I wish I had a porch ceiling to paint! Enjoy it :)
The ceiling is wonderful and the landscaping looks great! Now can you come over and do my house?
The front of your home is so beautiful. You can really see the love you have for it and how much work you must put in it to keep it so nice. Great job I love the ceiling!
I'm currently in love with your front door. I have an unrepentent love of rounded top front doors. I want one sooooo bad! Can I come live on your front porch? or would that be weird?
wow. this is beautiful.. I wish I had the (just picture it) type of personality so that I could imagine and follow through with the right ideas.
I love that!
Love it! It adds so much character. Very inviting!
Oh my wowsers! That is GORGEOUS. Such a fun touch that brings a big wow to your front porch. Great Job!

wow. Totally impressed with your dedication to the project. It looks awesome. Such a wow factor!
I love the charm you gave it! Great job Stacy!
Cute Video! Oh my goodness, that looks like a lot of taping! Is that what you did in your kitchen as well? No wonder both ceilings look so great. Beautiful job, it looks fantastic, as a graphic designer I know how challenging harlequin patterns can be and you nailed it!!!
That looks amazing! What a fun surprise when you walk up to your front door! BTW your house is adorable.
Fabulous! What an amazing special touch!
Looks fabulous, and the colors are perfect with the house. I use those same red pots around my house!
That looks awesome! It goes with your house so well, it's like it belongs there. I wish I could find some way to add that somewhere inside our new house. Great job. :-)
Nice touch! Definitely adds a "WOW!" factor to the entrance of your home.
That looks amazing! Love it!!
Gorgeous! I love the pattern you chose. The porch looks fantastic.
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing a redo on a spot most of us would not think to paint!

Such a cute pattern! I love the homey touches you added to your front porch. (Fun tutorial, too!)
I love your house. My dream is to find an old cottage or bungalow and make it my own. I also love the harlequin pattern, so obviously, I love your porch! It's such a welcoming and fun touch of whimsy.
Love, love, love that ceiling! Love the whole front porch--the boxwoods are perfect. Love the way you painted the trim. Love the color palette. Whole thing looks great.
I am so happy I stumbled onto you on facebook. I love your blog and all you diy projects. Thanks so much!
