Back Stoop Spring Style

Hi, everyone!  The main entrance that we use is at the back of our house, and has a tiny stoop.
Even though this area is small, I still want it to be BIG on style!

It looked like this throughout the (looong) winter...

It was definitely time to switch it up to spring!

I kept the barn door there as a backdrop, and the shabby little tricycle stayed, too (just 'cause it's so darn cute!)

I replaced the wreath with this metal 'parking' sign that was stored in our basement.

I love the bit of whimsy that it brings!

In place of the sled there is now a chippy green bench (that used to be in the dining room)...

...that I topped with an old gas can that I just got at the flea market.

I love that it has the look of a watering can. I was drawn to its patina, and the long spout, and the writing stamped onto it, and the wooden handle, and...well, all of it!

I filled it with a few lime green/yellow silk hydrangeas from Pier 1 to add a pop of color.

 (Plus they pull out that same color that's peeking through on the trike.)

Combine all of these elements together...

...and my back stoop now has some long-awaited 'spring style'!

What do you think?

Thank you so much for stopping by!
