I often think of the possibilities of those neat garden rooms.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791271644818914401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503500621849621556.post-21013680963982417032012-09-24T22:36:25.148-04:002012-09-24T22:36:25.148-04:00Jealousy is an ugly thing, but I'm jealous!

We have serious bug activity here because of our creek and pond, and I think a screened porch would be a wonderful added room! There are even electric outlets there for a coffee pot or lamp or whatever. DH thinks it would be an eye sore and prevent him from bird watching. Le sigh... I even had a quote to have the work done years ago. <br /><br />I bet your pets enjoy time with you there too.Gardenbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04397016484686334001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503500621849621556.post-67581009441839116662012-09-24T21:18:46.031-04:002012-09-24T21:18:46.031-04:00When I first bought the house I considered making ...When I first bought the house I considered making the porch three season but in the end decided to keep it as a true screen porch.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911109672807196057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503500621849621556.post-92123923049118401242012-09-24T21:08:05.143-04:002012-09-24T21:08:05.143-04:00Yes, and I did most of the garden cleanup on Satur...Yes, and I did most of the garden cleanup on Saturday so I could enjoy it for a bit on Sunday morning before guests arrived.

The next time the mosquitoes chase us in from the patio we'll settle on the porch to enjoy the rest of the evening.

When I get home tonight I'll measure it. Every year I plan to spruce up the decor but never get around to it. The furniture is a perfect size.

We have to re-do our small screened porch, and I have been looking all over the web for ideas and inspiration, and here is the perfect example!. <br /><br />Ours is only 14 by 7 tucked into a corner of the house as yours is --- your porch looks bigger, but still long and narrow, and that is exactly what I need help with. Love the colors, the intimacy of the space, and the full length screens.Laurriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657951570419825095noreply@blogger.com
