    I love all these ideas. And who wouldn’t want a porch swing? I am going exploring on the site and see what else I can find. Just watched the live video on your way to Ikea. Great job!

    Gina I love your posts & often share them to like-minded friends. Being from the UK I think porch swings are lovely but impractical but I adored the frame & dog bed ideas! Thank you x

    Lovely! I like those swings with their pretty colours…

    I can hear the sounds of violins
    Long before it begins
    Make me thrill as only you know how
    Sway me smooth, sway me now
    You know how
    Sway me smooth, sway me now
