Perfect porches…

Wednesday 29 February 2012

I woke up this morning to find the tree outside my bedroom window completely covered in blossoms! I am taking this as a firm sign that spring is on it’s way and that it is safe for me to start thinking about packing the winter jumpers away, dusting off the garden furniture and maybe, just maybe, reducing the amount of layers I put on in the morning. I think I am most looking forward to spending time outside reading in the sun or enjoying a barbeque. Our little deck area is a long way from ready for spring so I have been looking for inspiration to get it into shape. In a dream world, my perfect house consists of a wide wrap-around porch complete with gliders, potted herbs and a killer view. Want to see what I mean?

  1. Lovely inspiration. We built a big wrap-around deck on to our home recently. It's fantastic, the only trouble is the furniture I want for it is a little costly. I've found the perfect outdoor dining table and I'm thinking of getting a local cabinet maker to recreate it for us. Also love cane chairs & sofas with lovely big cushions. xxx

  3. Wish I had a porch. I'd love to just take my morning cup and sip it while sitting on a rocking bench and looking out. I'll take any of these!

  6. And to have a pond in your backyard too. That would be so dreamy! Spring is definitely on its way, Meghan. xo

  7. This is motivating me to think about how I can improve my tiny porch. All of those fab pictures also make me long for spring -- instead of the snow we are having today!

  8. Perfect all of them! I particularly like the one with the beds on... it's a bit surreal : )

  9. I have been wishing for a porch! They aren't very popular where I live, but I think they're so cute.

  12. I always appreciate a good hammock or a rocking chair on a pretty porch in an idyllic setting. This is something to look forward to - perfect weather and more time to relax.
