sleeping porches


The current issue of Garden & Gun has our wheels turning. One fun part of buying a new house, is to think about creative ways to use the different spaces. Wouldn't a porch swing/bed be so fun to have on an enclosed porch or sunroom?

Saturday night we were also inspired by a fabulous porch with a large swing at a party. You could just imagine the fun fall days watching football, and hanging on the porch...literally.

The picture above is a favorite from Coastal Living. I had already saved in my favorites file because of the fabrics and colors.


The Southern Living Idea House is also in on the trend. This is the lower terrace at the house in Senoia. So, Charles and I want to make one and hang it somewhere. I think the girls would like napping on it too.

  1. I really like that idea and both of the photo's you pictured are beautiful! I'm always thinking of Guinness too! I want to switch a chair that I have by my front window but she loves it and it's big and comfy. I have to come up with a good alternative for her - not just the room.
