Painted Porch Makeover
Hi friends! Today I want to share all the details on our painted front porch makeover!
Years ago I found out that you could paint your cement porch. I was super excited and did this striped pattern on our porch.
This is what our steps looked like. Because they are not covered, every Spring I would have to re-paint them. A little more high maintenance but I have never minded because I like the look so much and it literally takes me 15 minutes. I decided I was ready for a new look so grabbed my paint and paintbrush and got to work!
I will link all products used at the bottom of this post. First step was priming and then painting the steps white. I then taped out my pattern and painted it black. I wanted a stair runner type look. Make sure to measure so that your “runner” is centered!
Once that was done I decided to give my actual porch floor a fresh coat of white paint as well.
I love how much it brightened the area up!
The finished product!
To me, our porch is an extension of our indoor living space. We love spending time out here in the evenings or on a nice day.
I can’t wait to spruce this space up for Spring with lots of plants and I’m keeping my eye out for a mat to layer under this one.
Products used:
- BEHR Concrete and Masonry Bonding Primer
- BEHR Porch & Patio – Low-Lustre Enamel
- Frog Tape
- Favorite Angled Paint Brush
Thanks so much for stopping by!
