About UsA little about us. Mary and I have been blessed with many great adventures, two fantastic sons and their wonderful families. May we brag just a bit to say we have seven awesome grandkids?
We started our journey together over 50 years ago and have had the opportunity to live in many different places, nine states in all and now reside in the Nashville, TN area. Both of us have had several professional jobs over the years from computer consulting, military service, logistics, calligraphy, project management, and teaching to name a few. We are project people; we seem to always have a project (or projects) under way. From quilting to woodworking, from photography to fishing, from card-making to calligraphy, from remodeling to helping neighbors and friends, you will most likely find us involved in something. We have become the jacks of all trades and masters of some over the years and believed we could put our experiences to work for us. How Our Website Can Help YouWe've photographed, gathered, written and tried many ways to create a wonderful porch. Here you will find design ideas for your porch based upon your home style, one story or two story. And tips on building your porch, from the foundation to building your porch roof.Also, we have oodles of ideas for decorating your porch for just about every season and holiday. We hope you can takeaway some ideas to make your porch the best it can be! And believe it or not, but one of the most popular sections on our site is porch designs for mobile homes. Why a Niche About Porches?We have always been fond of porches. I grew up in a home with a large country style porch and Mary fondly remembers visiting her grandmothers' home with a large porch.Not too long ago I had the opportunity to sit on a friend's cabin porch - I sat there all day doing nothing. Quite unlike me but it was great! We have lived in almost the four corners of the United States so we have seen how people design, decorate, and entertain on their porches. A porch is a great place to just relish moments and watch the world go by. Our goal is to give you great ideas for your own porch - whether for comfort, convenience, or as an investment in your home. We hope our ideas inspire you to increase the curb appeal of your home or to simply have more fun on your porch with friends and family. If you want to know what tools we use for our business and how we got started, just skip ahead.
When we lived in Nebraska, we purchased a home because we loved its porch so much.
It was a screened porch that overlooked the backyard. Mary and I enjoyed reading the newspaper out there and entertaining friends and family. We even slept on our screened porch on many evenings.
What's in a Porch?Porches are the first thing you see on a home. Ever pass a home with a great porch and notice your eyes linger just a bit? A great porch stands out. So much so that you may not be able to describe the house later, but you will remember the porch!Even small porches can reflect your personality and add great curb appeal.
