Wrap Around Porches

These long, cold winter days have me daydreaming of summer. On a nice warm day there are few things better then relaxing on a beautiful wrap around porch. (My future dream home definitely includes one). Now is the perfect time to start thinking about how to get your porch ready for use in the upcoming seasons. Consider adding a pop of color by painting the ceiling of your porch a vibrant hue. You can never have too much comfortable seating either, so invest in a new outdoor sofa or pair of rocking chairs. Turn your porch into a space for living so that you're ready to take advantage of it when the weather warms up.

Peaceful Porches

A front porch is my favorite part of a home. Not only do porches boost curb appeal, but they provide a calm space where you can enjoy a little fresh air in the comfort of your own home. Some porches are spacious enough to host a small get together, while others have just enough space to put a chair or two. Big or small, all porches can be turned into a beautiful place to relax. Here are a few of my favorite porches:
