The porch is typically an under-utilized space, but this quiet cottage porch has a clear purpose and a practical style.  The relaxed linens and pillows piled high make the iron daybed a special spot, whether it’s a rainy afternoon with a book or a sunny morning with coffee and tea.  

The windows are draped in sheers, allowing the warmth of the sun to shine through while providing privacy and softening the light.  The scalloped quilt on the bed and the vintage woven rug sets the tone for this soft color palette of washed blues, lilacs, and crisp white.  The potted fern and fresh flowers are a wonderful touch to bring the outdoors in.
