This is a picture of Danny Seo's backporch (see his website, Simply Green, on my blogroll). I just love it...simple and cozy. I think it would be pretty easy to recreate this look on my back porch. It runs the whole length of the back of our house and is screened in. It is one of the best features of our house. It overlooks the back yard, which is very wooded and is an official wildlife habitat, whatever that means. So there are often deer and other woodland creatures in the backyard. I want the porch to be really inviting by the time the weather cools off. Right now it is very underutilized. Once I have it fixed up, it will be a great place to sit and watch the boys play on their new playset (they are getting a wooden playset as a joint present for their birthdays in October). I can't wait for the cooler fall weather. It is my favorite time of year!
That porch looks so much like something you would have! When I opened your blog and saw that I really thought it was a picture of your house - I was so jealous!!! Now I feel a little better that you haven't done it yet (only cause I don't have that kind of time yet!)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, good luck on the recreation, I think you'll love it!
