A couple of shutters...
Another use for metal garden fence...painted black and mounted behind a simple board they make a unique window treatment.
And of course a screen door...
An old metal ceiling tile tuned memo board with a couple of enamel pin magnets...

Sadly summer is coming to a close...but I've decided to look at the "Bright Side"...we get to enjoy our three season porch for one more season.  We recently redecorated and added a little junk here and there.  It's a great place to unwind after a busy day...

monakent writes: I ADORE your three-season room. You are so lucky to have one. The fence wire is absolutely wonderful - what a SUPER duper idea!!! The shutters placed on the wall like that really add charm to the room. Love your taste in decorating - everything comes together so well. Heck, I would think Better Homes and Gardens would like to talk to you!!!! Do you want me to call them for you????? gailmarie Posted: 9:49 pm on September 3rd
fellowjunker writes: Your porch is absolutely charming, as are all the very cool junk pieces that you have added here and there!!! I, too, am feeling a little sad about summer coming to an end. My three boys will be returning to school next Tuesday, and I always find it bittersweet!!! Will have to get busy with some junk projects!!
