Porch Party!

Yay, we finally got our back porch filled!!! It's pretty raw right now but we have big plans for it...

The steps from the back door leading to an upper level then to a lower level...



Imagine a pergola attached to the house on the upper level. We'd like to get an outdoor table setting, some white lights, and paper lanterns. I was thinking about grapevines running up the far posts- they seem to grow pretty easily out here...



Well, the porch ended up being bigger than we thought- but that just means there's more room to work with! I thought about using the space on the closer side of this pic for some tomato plants...



I'd like to find some outdoor rugs for the upper and possibly the lower levels...



We'd like to put a firepit and some wrought-iron chairs in this corner. Maybe eventually a grill...
