A Screen Porch – Summer Fun in any Weather
My husband and I had plans to go to the shore last weekend, but the weather sounded, well let’s just say “wet”. So we decided to hang out at home and rediscover what a blessing a screen porch can be! A little rain didn’t bother us, comfy and cozy in our porch we enjoyed the outdoors without a care. With weatherproof window panels and rug, along with sun resistant fabrics our porch is ready to use 3 seasons a year. So bring it on Mother Nature, we have it covered!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/esecosky/10727873214/ Decorating with BurlapNovember 7, 2013 The holidays are fast approaching and it got me thinking about what is trending this year. Those of us who have been around a while know what’s old becomes new at some point and right now – burlap is all the rage! It is a great, inexpensive & multifunctional fabric.

Many people would hesitate to use acrylic furniture because it looks so contemporary and that may not be their style.

For example, I like to use either a Lucite table with upholstered pieces or a wood table...
