INSIDE OUT
Kathryn and David enlarged
a narrow side entrance to create a porch.
Matchstick blinds attached to an arbor
make the space a cozy outdoor room.

Kathryn layered
vintage sheets and pillowcases with a
duvet cover and shams from a closeout
sale. The unifying factor? ‘They're all
either white or light colored with blue as
the accent color” she says.
