HOUSE NUMBERS

Guests can easily find your home with these 4” nickel house numbers. Everbilt 4 in. Satin Nickel House Numbers, $6 each, homedepot.com

FENCE

Straight from a storybook, this wood picket fence is classic and relatively affordable compared to other fencing options. Purchased as plain cedar pickets, you can paint any color that matches your home’s exterior. Western Red Cedar Pointed Top Fence Picket, 18-Pack, $60, homedepot.com

FERNS

We love the texture and whimsy that ferns provide. Ferns prefer bright, indirect light. Especially during the summer months, avoid direct sunlight that may burn a fern’s more delicate fronds.

LIGHT FIXTURE

The rounded shape of this hanging pendant light feels charming and sweet. Bolton Black Vintage Beveled Glass Lantern, $78, lowes.com

PLANTERS

These fluted planters bring a structural element to the front porch. Flanking the front door, they offer visual balance. Better Homes & Gardens 16” Northcroft Round Fluted Planter, $17, walmart.com

FRONT DOOR

Similar to the door shown, this beautiful wood front door could be stained or painted a delicate blue. 6 Lite Clear Acorn Stained Fiberglass Pre-hung Front Door, $1,314, homedepot.com
