Finally, a tour of my house.  The first stop on the tour is my screened porch.  Here in Georgia we can enjoy the outdoors just about 10 months a year.  January is too cold and August is miserably hot, but other than that it’s pretty tolerable most all of the time.  My favorite room has got to be my screened porch.  I think it’s my favorite because I decorated it just for me.  Most of the other rooms in my home were decorated with other folks in mind.  This room is just for me – though I’m glad to share it.  I found a lot of pieces second hand or super cheap.  My sweetie even helped me build a thing or two.  I made all of cushions and window coverings out of colors I love.  I even painted the floor in a favorite color combination.  I really enjoy the sense of being outside, but without the buggies.  The settee is great place to read or nap, two of my all time favorite things to do.  I can just sit with a glass of sweet tea, have the ceiling fan going, and enjoy the happy sounds of the birds and the babbling stream.  To me this room is pretty without being fussy or too girlie.  It’s comfortable without being slouchy.  The porch is right off the kitchen so it’s in a super convenient location.  From the porch I have a wonderful view of the woods behind my house with no other houses in sight.  It’s quiet, restful, and serene.  Perfect.  Hope you enjoy the view!
