porch envy...


"porches are in-between places, offering moments that feel apart from time and out of space."

i've always wanted a porch of my very own, and hopefully someday i'll have one. porch swings & rocking chairs, hanging flower baskets & 4th of july bunting, a place for your dog to sit and watch the day pass by, a quiet spot for the morning paper & coffee, the perfect setting for an evening kiss....
