This blog is a central location for all aspects of the master plan for our home. I have categorized all of the photos I have collected for many years, explaining why I have chosen certain homes, rooms, gardens, furnishings, etc. The clutter of magazines and books, and trying to convey the same thoughts to various different people was difficult. The hope is to clarify our ideas in quick reference pages, so that the professionals helping us will fully understand what we are trying to accomplish.

Screened Porch
Our old home had such a wonderful screened porch. It was 14' x 21', and we used it for 8 months out of the year. It is definitely the aspect about our old home that we miss the most.
With our latest plan, I am happy to say that we have successfully incorporated an incredible screened porch. It was a bit tricky, because we did not want it to obstruct any view from the inside. It also needed to be positioned in a location where it felt "included" in the other outdoor entertaining areas, or the fear was that it would not be used.
