Home Tour: Screen Porch

.
Last month, my home was on tour over at Remodelaholic (Thanks Cassity!).  I thought that I would share my home, room by room, over here at my own blog. 
.
First up - the screen porch.  In the summer, this is my favorite place to be.  It's a great place to drink coffee in the morning and the perfect place to end the day with a glass of vino.  
.
.
I love filling the porch with lots, and lots of plants.  Maybe too many (but can you ever really have too many?!).  The porch faces South, so it gets a good amount of sun during the day.  Everything grows really well in there.
.
.
I hang a fern in this spot every year and then over-winter it inside. 
.
.
Do you see the snake plant (sansevieria) behind the impatiens?  It gets to spend each summer "on vacation" in my screen porch.  It's the highlight of it's otherwise dreary life spent indoors in my half bath.
.
.
The resin wicker furniture came from Pier One a few years ago.  I made the throw pillows with outdoor fabric from JoAnn's.  The coffee table is by Smith & Hawken from Target.
.
.
I bought the outdoor rug from Grandin Road three years ago.  Unfortunately, it is showing some wear spots, so I think this might be it's last year in the screen porch. 
.
.
.
.
I hope you enjoyed the tour!

  7. That is a great size couch for your porch...many naps! We have a covered area attached to our pool house. This summer Hubs and I spent a lot of time sitting out there reading books and chatting away.

  49. Oh I love your porch! We spend a lot of time outside because it has a beautiful built-in braai place/fireplace. Having seen your wooden floor I'm wondering if I could change our old red bricks one to that?How possible is that? Email: mpumi.bikitsha@gmail.com
