Porch Ambiance

We have our first ever totally screened -in porch.

It 's on the side of the house, so we also have the element of privacy ,which is a definite plus.

Over the years we've lived with townhouse balconies, front open areas with a hanging porch swing, 2nd story wooden  porches with railings ,a  high rise balcony,  a back porch next to an in ground pool  that mostly held plants and an unused table set  (the air just didn't smell fresh enough to sit around  in and really the pool/spa  was the main attraction ), but never  what we have now.

We are working on having it make a statement.

Relaxation,comfort and ready for entertaining new found friends .

Currently it houses  some of our extra stuff from the move (2 dog crates and gates) , boxed garden supplies , mostly  empty  moving boxes with asst. paper  getting ready to be recycled next week.

 Once  the boxes are picked up ,the extra stuff re-situated , then we will have a primo  spot facing  the woods  .

My three tiered mosaic plant shelf will finally have a home ,colorful recycled porch rug, lounge chairs  w/ tables,artist's easel, a clothes drying rack plus a few scattered plants and wind chimes.

We plan  on spending  as much time as possible out there  as soon as the weather warms up a tad more regularly.

Right now it  is just missing a couple more hound dogs draped around the corners , and abandoned vehicles  to  remind us of our time  in West Virginia...
