A Photo Tour of the Porch and Decks...

I'm so glad you stopped by! I've been doing some fluffing on the porch today...even got out the froggy fountain. Thought I'd share some close-ups of some of the little details. So just make yourself at home...feel free to walk around and enjoy yourself while I get you a nice glass of iced tea.

At Sunday, May 24, 2009 , Roses at Wedgwood House and Gardens said...: Great views of your amazing porch Susan. You have done amazing job. Where we live in BC, I have never seen anything like what you have except in magazines. I think too it could be a climate factor to have such wonderful open air living. All the pictures are equisite of your place, but I was very, very partial to the picture of your kitty all snuggled up. I guess that is a prerequisite of cozy porch living.:) Wonderful all round.

Thanks again for sharing your beautiful space.
Enjoy your weekend!

At Sunday, May 24, 2009 , Sue said...: Thank you for the virtual tea and tour. I feel so much better and relaxed already, what a lovely way to start my morning.
Love the curved tops of the windows, the paneled ceiling, the darling detailed porch light, the white wicker everything ~ especially the lamp and porch swing with the ruffled chain holders. Your fabrics are exquisit, the billowy white curtains, calming greens and charming tiny prints, love them all. The minty green hutch with your adorable cottage dishes and accessories, especially the salt & pepper shakers, and the custom knobs are so perfect for their spot. The bird house by Penney and the other birdy accessories are the iceing on this cake that is your porch. The sparkle of all the lighting, your twinkle light tree and your Colonial Candles highlight and spotlight it all to perfection.
Thank you again Susan for sharing all this beauty with us this morning.
Hugs,
Sue

At Sunday, May 24, 2009 , Unknown said...: Even though my (front) porch is small, I continue to be inspired by your beautiful porch. Some ideas I keep in mind for my 'some day' porch, others I try in a much smaller scale on my own small porch. Love the close-up photos and especially the photos from outside looking in. Very creative!

At Sunday, May 24, 2009 , Betty said...: when I see your screened in porch, it makes me miss our previous home and I see how much better we could have made it look. Wished I'd known about your blog back then, so I could have "borrowed"some of your decorating and building ideas. The dragon fly lights, where do you have them displayed? Is that a fake tree in the corner?
At Sunday, May 24, 2009 , Debra Howard said...: With a nice porch like that it would be hard not to be out there all the time. Love that kitty too. Looked so comfy sleeping there.

At Monday, May 25, 2009 , Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...: Hi Betty, Yep, that's an artificial tree in the corner...used to have a live ficus there, but it didn't do well. The tree is in a large decorative urn (shown in the post) so it has a bit of a topiary feel to it. It came pre-lit and I added the dragonfly lights to it to give it a porchy feel. I really love the way it lights up that area behind the swing at night. Thanks for the question! Susan
At Tuesday, May 26, 2009 , Unknown said...: Your porch enchants me!!! So much so, that now I want to screen mine. How do you keep the rain out???? I visit here often to look at ALL your beautiful rooms, but I am in love with the porch!

I don't mean with the furnishings, but with the wood floors. Is it well protected from the elements? And, when can I come over for that nap?

At Friday, June 25, 2010 , Sherry said...: Beautiful! I was wondering if you guys did the work yourselves or hired a contractor? Also, how was the flooring done? Was it concrete and then laid over with some kind of wood? Do you have to treat the wood often with some kind of sealer from rain coming in? I love your porch!
At Friday, June 25, 2010 , Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...: Hi Sherry,
Thanks! I did hire a contractor. I just added a whole new section about the porch under the FAQ section. You'll find the FAQ section just under the header pic at the top of the blog. Please email me at betweennapsontheporchatgmail.com if you have any additional questions.
Thanks!

At Monday, May 16, 2011 , ❁Velma ~Down Our Country Road❁ said...: I am new to your blog and absolutely love it! Like everyone else, I also love your screened in porch. I have two porches (front and side) that I am wanting to have screened in so I am taking pictures for my son! My porches are similar to yours but not as deep and I have the same railing as you do. It is just a matter of framing in and sealing to keep the critters out.
How wide are your screen windows (between the posts)? Did you have to special order the screen in order to get it that wide?

Oh, and I have a cat named Max, too!!! Only he's an outdoor cat :)

Look forward to spending more time reading your wonderful blogs!
Thanks, Velma
At Monday, May 16, 2011 , Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...: Hi Velma,
Thanks so much! So happy you're here reading!
Actually, my contractor measured and had all the screens custom made for the openings he built. The ones across the length of the porch are around 70 inches wide and the one behind the swing is 81 inches wide and the small one near the house is 45 inches wide. The screens are designed so if one gets damaged or ripped, the whole screen can be lifted out and taken in to be re-screened, so the screen guy wouldn't have to come to the house. I could just take it in to him.
Hope this info helps. :)
