Nothing says summer like a porch.
We live in a 235 year old farmhouse which originally only had one porch.
Over the years we had added a porch to each side of the house and a large wrap around all the way to the back ending with a large summer porch and going into our screened-in room.
I love porches so much I keep looking for another spot to add one.
I treat my porches like rooms in my house. They all have lovely seating areas, very comfy. I really like these ones, so lovely they just say "Come and sit a while".
Whether it is tiny are wraps around a house a porch just adds a finishing touch. We will drive past a house and I always say it would look so much more welcoming with a porch.
Now wouldn't you want to sit on one of these porches for an afternoon? The sun shining, the birds singing and nothing to do but sip ice tea, read a good book and do nothing.
Oh, aren't these just breathtaking! I can just see myself sitting overlooking a cool lake on a hot day. I just love the second house, heaven.
If you do not have a porch on your house you might just want one after seeing these gorgeous sitting spots. I especially like this little beauty. Screened in and just big enough for a nice chair for me!

Oh, I do love porches too and yours are very cozy and inviting. Love the other examples too. Thanks for stopping by my blog and giveaway - I'm following you now too.
ReplyDeleteWe don't really have porches like yours over here, more's the pity. However, I have decided when we buy our next house I am going to make sure there is room to add a porch at the back.
ReplyDeleteOh yes yes yes, porches where the breezes dance and the birdsongs waft amid rustling summer leaves fill the soul!
ReplyDeleteAt the end of each (warm)Spring/Summer/Fall day I linger ever-so-contentedly upon mine... I'll have to snap an image or two when all the wicker again bejewels her (wintered still in the barn as we had 8 inches of snow this week) But not many more days till 'porch' awaits at the end of each day for hours shared!
