Description

The happy space nestled betwixt nature and nest.

Nostalgic yet modernly apropos, Porch Living provides the venue of venues to grasp the goodness of both the home and garden. From the contemporary yet classically rooted outdoor fabrics and furnishings that make porches chic and cherished, to the hanging baskets and planters chock-full of seasonal delights, todays porches offer comfort and elegance, and, most importantly, an addition to the home and garden. Whether jettisoned boldly into parterres aplenty or delightfully diminutive, a grand outdoor salon or sleeping nook, the porch represents how we live and how to gloriously live hinged to and romantically suspended in the home and garden.

Reviews

Sit back a spell (on a porch, if possible) and savor gorgeous photographs by Helen Norman that illustrate just how easy and elegant outdoor living can be. Whether with a pretty tabletop or a swinging bed, this book inspires with hundreds of ideas for America''s favorite room-the porch.
"... gorgeous photos of casual and formal porches that are sure to spark some daydreaming"--Paul Birkhead "Salisbury Post" (10/10/2021 12:00:00 AM)
