Beautiful Front Porch


This gorgeous porch from Country Home Magazine is a great example of why we called ourselves Porch Light Interiors. The front porch is a taste of what is to come. It shows the style of the home owners before you set foot in the house. It is an important first impression that determines whether you can't wait to step inside and see what is behind the door or whether you want to turn back around and head for the gate. I know if this was the porch waiting for me when I turned up at someones home I would be excited to see what the rest of the house had in store.

Illusion Feadship - White Bedroom at Sea

In continuing with my theme of "White Bedroom" postings this week here is another one!! This white bedroom is in a newly refurbished Feadship yacht designed by Frits de Voogt in 1982 named "Illusion" and is featured in this month's Architectural Digest magazine. You can read the full article here. The Interior Design Firm - Bannenberg Designs out of London "covered a wall in white wallpaper, they white-lacquered the cabinets, they upholstered the bed in squares of white leather and they furnished the space with pale oak pieces." What might have been startling is instead restful, in a way that only white can be when it is properly employed. As well as wanting to curl up in this restful bedroom, I would also relish curling up on the Aft deck (shown below) with a good book this weekend!
