Porch Living By James T. Farmer III

Although first published in 2012 (and ‘porch living’ isn’t always possible wherever in the world we may live), the ideas presented still inspire and fit so well into our own home, whether it be an apartment, a house, cottage or palazzo! Described as ‘The happy space nestled betwixt nature and nest. Nostalgic yet modernly apropos, Porch Living provides the venue of venues to grasp the goodness of both the home and garden. From the contemporary yet classically rooted outdoor fabrics and furnishings that make porches chic and cherished, to the hanging baskets and planters chock-full of seasonal delights, today’s porches offer comfort and elegance, and, most importantly, an addition to the home and garden. Whether jettisoned boldly into parterres a-plenty or delightfully diminutive, a grand outdoor salon or sleeping nook, the porch represents how we live and how to gloriously live hinged to and romantically suspended in the home and garden.’ Hardcover.
