 If you've been reading this blog for at least a few months, you certainly have seen how much I adore our screened in porch and backyard.  We've been in our home for over 2 years now and it's still the part of our home that we use the most.   The screened in porch is perfect because it is outdoors, but it is screened enough to keep the majority of insects and pests outside.  We eventually will be putting in a patio as well so that will give us even more outdoor living space!

Our Newest Porch Updates

Wednesday, September 21, 2016



So as you know, our screened in porch is where I spend most of my time. I love it and it's like being outside without the annoying bugs.  I mean I literally spend every waking moment that I can out here.  So, I decided to spruce it up a bit more going off of my list of a few things I wanted changed about it.
1. More Seating
2. More Storage
3. Less Clutter


 So I did just that!
 I found another couch to go with the loveseat we already had.  This one was a 3 seater sofa.  I love the loveseat, don't get me wrong but I can't really stretch out on it when I lay down to read.  I also take naps in the afternoons on weekends and it's quite uncomfortable being all folded up. 
 Of course I went crazy trying to figure out how to position everything.  I even made little blue prints for all of my options.  In the end I settled for having everything at an angle instead of aiming straight ahead. It actually opened it up much more. 





 There's still plenty of room for the dining area.



Fresh flowers really give it that added homey touch!



 So since I keep my gardening supplies out here I got another utility cart from Amazon and VOILA!

 





What's your ideal outdoor living space look like?
