Nostalgic yet modernly apropos, Porch Living provides the venue of venues to grasp the goodness of both the home and garden. From the contemporary yet classically rooted outdoor fabrics and furnishings that make porches chic and cherished, to the hanging baskets and planters chock-full of seasonal delights, todays porches offer comfort and elegance, and, most importantly, an addition to the home and garden. Whether jettisoned boldly into parterres aplenty or delightfully diminutive, a grand outdoor salon or sleeping nook, the porch represents how we live and how to gloriously live hinged to and romantically suspended in the home and garden.

To Mimi and Granddaddyyour families taught you to live graciously, as you have me. Thank you. JTFIII
To my family, I am so grateful for all the wonderful times we have shared on our porch, the favorite place to gather. HN
Stemming literally from words of antiquity, the porch has been our greeting and gathering place for centuries. Grandiose and humble, classic and modern, country and city, these vestibules of nostalgia and welcome are our homes first and last impressions. The porch is an architectural welcome mat, a social scene, and a hybrid of home and garden.
It is this combination of home and garden that makes porch living ever so delightful! En plein air melding with the great indoors forms a perfect union that both venues affordthis is the essence of a porch.
Pots of geraniums, urns of ferns, tables laden with treats, and pitchers full of lemonade and glistening with condensationfood and flowersnatures best and all a part of the porchs tableau. Rockers and swings cushioned with pillows, chairs weathered and worn from years of good use, and lanterns extending the light just a bit longer invite us to linger a while or beckon us home. These are the characters on the porch stagea scene worth embracing and enjoying.
So sit back, relax, swing, rock, or simply perch yourself on the porch. Greet your neighbors and the sunrise or sunset. Enjoy this part of your home and set a new standard of living for your friends and yourself.
A country porch, whether fine or rustic, is as comforting and familiar as a glass of tea on a warm summers day. The porch may be a relaxing retreat to unwind from the day or even brace the dawn.

Keeping in tone with the architecture, even the tableware nods in homage to the setting. A woodland scene is perfectly apropos for this porch tableau.
Leashes, totes and wide-brim hatsporch accoutrements are at hand, ready and waiting for an afternoon walk or a jaunt into the garden.

Indoor/outdoor fabrics pair with garden collections on this porch. The color of the begonia harmonizes with the pillow and cushion combo and graces the whole scene, complete with antique trowels and a stack of magazines awaiting perusal.
A vintage pillow depicts a coastal scene. What better place to tell this pillows story than a porch?
A trilogy of topiaries. The porch can be a garden extension too, showcasing a favorite plant collection.
Dappled shade from centurion sentries and ever-so-slight peeks of blue sky pierce the canopy of trees. A lush lace of azaleas skirts the porch, too, thus a mantle of classicism and nostalgia envelope the home.
Live oaks whisper through Spanish moss as the ferns dance in the Lowcountry breeze. A quintessential Southern welcoming place, the porch gives its guests a spot to alight after travel and embrace the setting.

The porch becomes a gardeners potager and a tableau.
The color of robins eggs and electricity combined, this swing sparks from the deep, shady recesses of the porch.
