Perfect Porches
Designing Welcoming Spaces for Outdoor Living
A well-designed porch is like a welcoming committee that invites friends and family to share stories, catch up on neighborhood news or quietly enjoy the breezes of a sultry summer evening. In more than 250 stunning photographs of 40 homes, Perfect Porches illustrates how varied these iconic American spaces can be. Homeowners share colorful stories about using their porches as communal stages for magical and sometimes mythological events, telling of ghosts encountered, arias sung and families reunited. Whether you seek to reawaken a cherished memory of a childhood porch, create an adorned haven of your own or take an enlightening journey across the nation, this volume is certain to become a treasured companion as well as a source of fresh inspiration.
