Porch Furniture Beauty

August 20, 2014 Leave a Comment

I’m a lover of spaces. The only thing better to me, than a completed beautiful space that I have worked on, is the fresh new beginning of a space!! That’s exactly what this porch addition was for me! When I started working with my Alamo Rd Client in Brentwood, TN, She was just at the very early beginning of designing her porch addition.  In the process of laying it all out, we decided the bigger the better!! She ended up with a 30′-0 x 15’0 addition with vaulted ceilings and an open air grill area. As her HUGE space took shape, I began mapping out the areas of this amazing gathering space. I have broken it into 3 phases, the first being the sitting area, and that’s what I am sharing with you today ( there is also a dining area and a swing bed area).

There is always lots of chaos on furniture delivery day, and it was a burning 90 degrees here in Nashville, so there was plenty of frizz,sweat and accessories, all the things that make a great install!!

I have to take a second to give a shout-out to Crate and Barrel. The Porch Furniture was  delivered EARLY! like 10 minutes early! They had to wait for ME!! in 16 years of being an Interior Designer that has NEVER happened!! Bravo!

I was so happy with how everything turned out! The Porch Furniture fit perfect, but I needed a few more things once it was all set up. I took a quick shopping trip to Pier One Imports to fill in some of the gaps. I added a few more pillows and a few more accessories on the table.

The garden stool that I used for end tables are from Overstock.com and were only $99 each!! ( Score)

Its always the tiny details that make or break a completed space. I brought a few of the plants with me, as well as the little wooden pins, but all other accessories were from Pier One.
