The screened-in porch is what sold us on this house. You may have read my other posts, in which I complain relentlessly about the bad decor, which has taken us over 3 and 1/2 years to START to undo. The exterior is the house isn't horrible, but it's definitely nothing special. But this porch is pretty cool...at least we think so! Past posts have detailed my adventures in spray paint when I refinished our Adirondack chairs, the times when we used the porch as a staging area/junk yard during our kitchen renovation, a little feature about the waterfall, and my favorite lounging spot, "The Mommy Chair." However, I've had a lot of challenges with photographing this space. Either it looks immense and empty, or too close-up. I'm sure a skilled photographer would be able to figure it out, but since I'm not one of those, I'll continue to toil away until I get it right. You'll be the first to know when I do! In the meantime, here's a sneak peek. You will notice a theme: Blue, blue, and more blue. Who isn't completely obsessed with...I mean, who doesn't love a little blue? ;-) Case in point: if one blue pillow is good, five blue pillows are better...am I right?! Here's the dining table{s}...they are actually two tables pushed together and covered with a cloth. You can also see that many of the misfit chairs throughout our house have made their way here: The previous owners used galvanized metal light fixtures out here. Finally, something worth keeping! Gratuitous candle shot...these guys are my second obsession, right behind blue {just imagine my excitement when I find a BLUE CANDLE HOLDER!} Thanks for checking out my little sneak peek.
I'll be back with a full photo shoot soon, I promise! In the meantime, check out the awesome summer spaces over at Thrifty Decor Chick and The Lettered Cottage. :-)

I love the powder room grey color. Do you remember what paint brand and color it was?
