Downstairs Summer Porch











OK, so we worked on this last summer, but I never took the time to post it. Basically, this was a storage room for the first four years we lived here. We had the floors sanded, the bead board on the ceiling stripped and refinished. We painted. That doesn't seem like a big deal, but this room has 2 french doors containing 15 panes of glass a piece, and 6 windows with 12 panes of glass each. Consider priming, painting, then scraping and cleaning over 100 panes of window glass and you have yourself quite a project. Finally got around to having the windows screened this week. The porch features a window that looks into the back of our dining room built in, so you can see some of our ceramic bowls, etc. from the porch. I picked up these three vintage metal chairs from the 1950's for $5.00 apiece at a Pacoima second hand store, and the cute wicker plant stand at a garage sale on our street for a buck. The adirondaks make for a nice place to read or take an afternoon snooze!
