Outside Living Room

This porch promises year-round comfort -- just ask Reba the dog. Located at the rear of what was once a modest fishing camp, the spacious screened porch faces the lake, affording picturesque natural views.

Plush furnishings and special accessories evoke a feeling of being entirely inside. Floral pillow fabrics add color to the neutral decor.

Instead of a large floorcloth, small woven rugs are tossed about to add warmth underfoot. And a collection of candles brightens the space at sunset.
