I have a soft spot for front porches.  I always have.

A porch was a requirement in a home for me.

But I am also a realist so, it was not  the highest requirement.

I know other things come first

so I ended up with a “teaser” porch.

What is a teaser porch you say?

Well,

It’s definitely a porch & from the front of my house it looks like a porch

but when you get right up to it,

there is barely enough room for my rocking chairs let alone  any legs or a walkway.

It’s okay though, I am happy just to have a teaser for now.

Dreaming is good & really, who wants all their dreams all at once?

There would be nothing left to dream about , wish about, or work for.

So, welcome to my “porch dreams”

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do…

I LOVE this porch Designed by Alix J. Bragg.

The home has large wooden windows and doors, and the porch is very large .

I love the wood planking on the ceiling and floor.

She also did a beautiful job decorating it, the furniture is cozy and inviting

& I really like that she included plants & fans.

This porch by Hope Designs just makes me smile.

I love the french looking fabric and the large pillows.

I like Susan Duane’s porch swing and bistro set.

I just want to sit and eat a pastry here…

Now, with my porch dreaming, I am not biased.

I like all kinds of porches.

Like greenhouses,

Decks,

Or even just make-shift patios,

{I have make-shift patios like these all-over my backyard}

See, I’m not picky.

Aren’t they all just beautiful?

Ahhhhhhwwww…hmmmm..

Okay, one last picture, not because it matches but because I just really like it.

Isn’t this the most beautiful fountain you have ever seen?

I love it, I think it’s great.

I need one in my outdoor life! hehe.

Well, thank you so much for porch dreaming with me today!

I am so excited…

My husband helped me build a bathtub shelf this weekend.

Do you know what a bathtub shelf is?

It is a wooden plank that you place over the top of your tub so you have somewhere to set

your book , candles, scrub, food, tea…or whatever you want!

I am staining it and varnishing it as we speak.

It is turning out even better than expected.  I love it & I think you will too!

I will be posting the tutorial this week.

Make sure you follow my feed so you don’t miss it!
