ILLUMINATING POINT
Lighting was put along
the home’s original
roofline during
construction of
the porch. The switch-
operated lights bathe the
porch’s ceiling; no other
lamps are needed.
PERFECT VIEW
The screening extends
to the ceiling to maxim
ize
natural light and increase
the view to the wooded
lot behind the house. “It’s
almost panoram
ic,” says
Kim. “The view alone
would have been call
enough for change.”
SOFT LANDING
Coal-black all-weather
wicker furniture w
ith
indoor/outdoor cushions
matches the home’s casual
cottage style—making it
an extension of the indoor
living space.
HOUSE PARTY
Kim
thinks of the porch as an extra
sitting room, perfectly suited for hosting
the small groups of three to four that
she enjoys most.
JOINT ASSETS
The porch’s location right off the kitchen makes
it easy to bring finger food outside, but Kim
doesn’t need a group to enjoy the io'xi6'
space. “I use it every single night,” she says.
