A Happy Happy Porch

I love creating a porch .The feeling of being inside and outside at the same time. A place to sit and watch the world go by....A place for a picnic..or a nap..or hours of pondering or reading.... or maybe even a fun
"porch party."
When designing a porch, I insist on one being deep enough to create a nice seating arrangement...Never let any builder tell you any different!!!!
Not everyone is a "porch person"but I don't hold that against them. The owner of Cottage on the Green is a great "porch person" and all the porches here are designed for making memories.

                                                                                       the picnic table/craft table
                                                outdoor curtain next and then we are ready for some serious relaxing

Happy Colors
                                                                                         Cottage on the Green
                                                                                            the front porch

 How about a real live sleeping porch..remember when there were bed spreads with pillow tucks? You folded the spread over the bed pillows and tucked under them. Anna, Amanda and I had fun playing on the sleeping porch...
styling for my upcoming book. Anna added island vines to the fabulous chandelier.
                          
How about a nice nap on the sleeping porch?
                           Feeling lazy on this Sunday afternoon...
