Soak in the Scenery

Give your porch a worthy view. Overlooking streams and meandering pathways, this second-floor porch is semi-enclosed for easy screening. The colorful metal artwork is by David Earl Tomlinson, made from found pieces of scrap metal. Both porch's walls and ceilling are covered with reclaimed pickets of a wind fence from Wyoming. Find rustic siding at local building-supply yards or architectural salvage companies that specialize in such materials.
