My Three-Seasons Porch Decorated With Mostly Finds and Vintage

by White Oak Studio Designs

I felt really lucky the day we had our porch put on the back of our small 1950's ranch home. Our retirees budget was very small so bought a few pieces and scrounged the rest. We practically live in this porch, eat our meals here and sit at night watching the bird feeding bed and reading. We feel very blessed to have the floor to ceiling screens and breeze and the shade of our majestic White Oak Trees to provide shade for this North facing porch.
