As this example of pocket doors shows, they can play an aesthetic as well as functional role in a home. Separating the kitchen and dining rooms, these beautiful stained-glass doors echo the bold Craftsman-style kitchen tiles, lending an elegant touch to both rooms. When the doors are open, the rooms function as one space, but once they're closed, the dining room becomes a more intimate setting.

Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
