Porch ideas from our road trips

Victorian homes of Cape May NJ

See all

Cape May NJ is a charming seashore town on the southern tip of New Jersey - with the most beautiful Victorian porches you'll ever see. Dave and I kept pinching ourselves as we walked up and down the streets of this small town.

Notice the detailed porch railings, porch steps, blue porch ceilings. Fabulous porch decorating ideas, too.

See the lovely porch pictures and our video from Cape May NJ.

Beach Homes in Lewes, Delaware

See all

Just across the Chesapeake Bay from Cape May NJ we landed in Lewes, Delaware where we came upon some wonderful beach homes that, of course, have great porches. Street after street of wonderful beach home plans. Lovely colors.

Not your Grandma's beach house - these are high style. We got there just as the sun was setting...magical.

Front Porches of Winston-Salem, North Carolina

See all

It's easy to find wonderful porch ideas in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. We found oodles of great porches just walking through quaint neighborhoods lined with towering trees and among friendly folks. It was fun seeing how they were furnished and decorated and all of them seemed to say - "come, sit a spell".

On your next trip through Winston-Salem, be sure to turn down the many side streets; fantastic porches await!

Blowing Rock NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains

See all

Our friend, Anna, who lives in NC in a most magical craftsman style home introduced us to Blowing Rock. Talk about a place to visit, this is it. A very small town off the Blue Ridge Highway - it's packed with charm and joyfulness.

We walked up and down the streets, photographing porches, flowers, inns and the main street.

George Washington's back porch

Mount Vernon VA - Overlooking the Potomac River from the George Washingon home

See all

In June we visited Mount Vernon, Virginia, home of George and Martha Washington. Wait till you see their undeniably beautiful view of the Potomac River.

You can't help but notice the stately porch columns and grand size of this magnificent porch. Cozy? Perhaps not, but I would have loved to sit with Martha and George.

See more of George and Martha's porch.
