Furniture: Furniture for 3 season porch ( in New England!)
I have a three season porch off the back of my kitchen that I'm planning on making my spring project. I'd like to add some furniture but the kind that can survive a Boston winter.

It not only turned out beautiful, but that was about four years ago and she is still using the headboard with a little updating today. I had some collapsible saw horses we laid board on to work on it. I helped her because I have always sewed, but she did most of the work and really is a novice. Try it, you'll like it!
