The long L-shaped window seat beside the fireplace in this living room by the sea beckons weather-watchers. Storage niches control clutter. The homeowners used linoleum tiles to create a striped floor pattern that looks like wood flooring. Not only do the light and dark gold and reddish brown stripes mimic the color of the sand (hiding any brought in on shoes and bare feet), the tiles are water resistant and don't scratch easily.

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
