On of the biggest selling point for this house was the screened in porch. I love being outside even if the weather is a little too hot or a little too cold. I crave being outdoors. But with 2 small children the outdoors doesn’t always love us back.
Reasons why I love our screened in porch:
Keeps out the bugs
Keeps In Jude
Is an extension of our living space
Covered storage for our outdoor gear
Just a peaceful place to be
Here’s Jude playing with his toys. He loves playing on the porch. To the left is our recycling area. We try to be environmentally conscious.
This is the adult sitting area. I love our table and chairs, they used to be in our old kitchen but we outgrew the table for two. You can also see our laundry drying on the drying rack. (Our dryer broke and we are waiting on the repair) There is also the bucket for our ice cream maker drying by the door. That reminds me that I should make some more ice cream soon! YUM.
Between the house door and porch door is where we keep all the cardboard that needs to be recycled. Joe and Jude usually load it up into the back of the car and take it to the recycling center. Most of those boxes are from review items.
There’s my porch. We have a tiny front porch that I didn’t think was worth photographing but it does exist.
What does your porch look like? Do you have a back deck, screened in porch, rocking chairs? I want to know.

So last week we signed the contract to build a home. This is huge because not only is this the first house we’ve built but it will also be the first house we will own. Can you believe we’re building a house. When Joe and I were engaged and planning our wedding (10 years ago)…
Baby 3 will be here in a few short weeks. Even though we already have a nursery, that Noah is still using, I wanted to make things special for baby 3 so we are doing a little redecorating. Thanks to Sherwin-Williams and Fisher Price we will be adding a little more color and whimsy to…
Finding stylish and practical record storage can be difficult, especially if you are on a budget. We needed storage for our Audio-Technica turntable, Klipsch R-15PM Powered Monitor speakers, and extensive record collection. The IKEA Kallax was great for storing records but wasn’t aesthetically ideal for our space. We wanted something vintage, but it was challenging…
Less than 2 months ago the nursery looked like this when we first moved in. Now most of the house is unpacked and ready for Baby 2’s arrival. There are a few small projects to be completed in the nursery but nothing that couldn’t be done in a few hours if we just set our…
Tips for Building a House First a little note about my online documentation of our home building process. In an effort to keep our our family safe I’m going to try and not mention the name of our new neighborhood or builder. I want to keep some things private and also respect the builder. Beyond…
