Last month, my home was on tour over at Remodelaholic (Thanks Cassity!). I thought that I would share my home, room by room, over here at my own blog.
.
First up - the screen porch. In the summer, this is my favorite place to be. It's a great place to drink coffee in the morning and the perfect place to end the day with a glass of vino.
.
.
I love filling the porch with lots, and lots of plants. Maybe too many (but can you ever really have too many?!). The porch faces South, so it gets a good amount of sun during the day. Everything grows really well in there.
.
.I hang a fern in this spot every year and then over-winter it inside.
.
.
Do you see the snake plant (sansevieria) behind the impatiens? It gets to spend each summer "on vacation" in my screen porch. It's the highlight of it's otherwise dreary life spent indoors in my half bath.
.
.The resin wicker furniture came from Pier One a few years ago. I made the throw pillows with outdoor fabric from JoAnn's. The coffee table is by Smith & Hawken from Target.
.
.
I bought the outdoor rug from Grandin Road three years ago. Unfortunately, it is showing some wear spots, so I think this might be it's last year in the screen porch.
.
.
..
I hope you enjoyed the tour!

Your porch looks like a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the summer months!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great size couch for your porch...many naps! We have a covered area attached to our pool house. This summer Hubs and I spent a lot of time sitting out there reading books and chatting away.
ReplyDeleteGreat tour :)

I love looking at your porch. I love the large print of that rug. Sorry it may be it's last year getting used there.

ReplyDeleteWe are hoping to add a screen porch in a couple of years. It's been on the wish list for a while!
Could I please come over and live in the porch? I'm sure we could arrange some sort of schedule so you could still use it too, occasionally. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's the porch I've always dreamed of. Beautiful!
What a beautiful spot to sit and relax! All your plants and flowers look so pretty.

So you've got to be like Monica on Friends and have that junk closet somewhere! Everything you touch is immaculate and perfect, so beautiful. And I say I love the worn-in look of the rug, leave it!

Oh I love your porch! We spend a lot of time outside because it has a beautiful built-in braai place/fireplace. Having seen your wooden floor I'm wondering if I could change our old red bricks one to that?How possible is that? Email: mpumi.bikitsha@gmail.com
