Summer Porch Decorating
{Picnic Basket}
Ilove picnic baskets. Don’t they just scream summer? A picnic basket is a simple, cheerful accessory that instantly adds seasonal charm to a porch or outdoor space. They’re useful for outings, of course, but they also work beautifully as decorative storage, side tables, or seasonal accents that you can bring out year after year.
I’ve collected picnic baskets for years and I use them in many ways around the house. When I spotted this sweet picnic basket from DaySpring, I immediately pictured it on the front porch as a fun summer accent. Unlike fresh flowers that might fade in the heat, a colorful picnic basket stays charming all season long and stores easily when fall arrives.
This style is adorable and versatile. If you haven’t refreshed your porch decor for summer, a picnic basket is an easy, eye-catching place to start. When the season ends you can tuck it away with your picnic gear or use it to store linens, toys, or other seasonal items.
This basket features inspiring words printed on the lid and a lovely contrast between gray tones and colorful patchwork along the sides and interior. It’s both eye-catching and easy to clean, making it well suited for outdoor use.
Small chalkboards are another favorite. They’re perfect for quick messages—welcome notes, reminders, or fun sayings—and work equally well indoors or out. A chalkboard adds personality to your porch setup and is a charming complement to a picnic basket display.
Putting a picnic basket and a little chalkboard together creates an inviting vignette for your porch. They’re practical and pretty: the basket holds picnic supplies, blankets, or seasonal decor, while the chalkboard offers a place for messages or menus.
So today, just for fun, we are going to give away 10 sets of the picnic basket and chalkboard! YAHOO! That means 10 of you are going to win!

Where would you go and what would you eat on your perfect picnic?
My ideal picnic would be in a big park near a waterfall or on a quiet stretch of beach. Simple, satisfying food would fill the basket: crunchy chips, fresh seasonal fruit, lemonade, and brownies for dessert. There’s something nostalgic and joyful about classic picnic snacks shared with friends or family.
