Boho Screened Porch Summer Decor – Summer Home Tour on Screen Porch
It’s another year, a new season (almost), and time for another seasonal house tour!
All hail Summer 2023!
Brought to you by Marty from A Stroll Thru Life who has spent the past few months corralling us all to get our homes ready for summer.
Thank you Marty for the corralling. And motivating (which I personally needed in spades!).
If you’ve found yourself here from White Arrows Home … welcome, welcome, welcome! I’m going to make a huge assumption (yes, I know it’s a risky move) that you and I have something in common. And that common something is our love of Kristin’s log cabin home and how beautifully she has decorated it for summer!
P.S. My midwestern husband often speaks of his childhood visits to the Northwoods of Wisconsin and Kristin’s home is exactly what I envision when he tells me these tales!
And now on to the tour ….
After too-many-years-to-admit-to of neglect, I’ve turned my attention to the outer doors of our home this year. Both front and back. And I’ve been a busy little beaver sprucing them up.
Honestly, the front spruce is mostly for the neighbors. And Cubs fans (who often park in our neighborhood). Because this little (neglected) home of ours had become something of an eyesore.
And nobody wants to be the neighborhood eyesore. Shudder.
But the back spruce?
Well, the back spruce is for our personal outdoor relaxing pleasure!
Take that judgmental neighbors and Cubs fans!
Lol. I totally deserved every side-eyed front yard judgement.
But back to the back. It’s amazing what a little power wash and washing-machine-wash can do for an outdoor space.
And some super affordable pillow covers (just $13.99 for two!) from Amazon that have done an amazing job standing up to the elements – including a Chicago winter. Or two.
Yes, I’ve been that neglectful!
Oh and here are a few more pillow covers that are super affordable. And super Chicago winter durable — 18 x 18 ($16.85 for two) and 22 x 22 ($15.99 for two). The faux leather 20 x 20 ones are currently unavailable but here’s a similar set for for $23.50.
I’ve also decided to try my hand at a little container gardening …
I know. I know. I’m a killer of green things. But so far so good. And I’ve actually enjoyed some fruits of my labor in the form of spinach and cilantro.
The tomatoes are still holding out on me. 😉
And finally before I leave you to visit our Melanie at Southern Crush Home, can you believe I built that farmhouse dining table from scratch …
and that it’s still standing?!?
Though I would not recommend standing on it. 🙂

What a wonderfully inviting space. Such a classic color palette. It’s always so inspiring to be on tour with you.
Oh I love your porch and your table is fabulous. Great job. Love the assortment of pillows you’ve chosen. I find great pillows from Amazon too that tend to stand up to the outdoors. Like you, I have neglected my patio way too long, so you’ve put a bug in my step to get mine cleaned up. Thanks so much for joining the tour, I always love to see what you are doing.
Your back area looks inviting… but don’t make it too inviting. Don’t want those Cub fans using your outdoor living space for after-game celebrations! 😉 Hope you are doing well. I keep looking for your update post regarding your return to blogging. 😉
I am so obsessed!! I wish our house had a screened in porch, I would sit out there all day! Your decor is so inspiring and cozy, just such a beautiful space! Thanks for sharing!!
I love all the neutrals mixed with black! What a relaxed and inviting space! Thanks for the lovely tour!

Your porch looks great, Linda! I love the black and white with the plants tying it all together to make it a fresh, beautiful space to spend summer days. Those black lanterns are the cutest!
No judging here! Your screen porch looks very inviting and a lovely spot to relax and talk about the neighbors! HaHa!
