Dresser Homes The wood is cedar. The stain is a semi-transparent stain from Cabot, but I cannot remember the color.

What is the chain that is hanging around the arches? »
· Comment · 12 months ago
Dresser Homes The chain between the arches is purely decorative. Since the porch is less than 30" above grade, no railing was required by code. However, we added the chain to visually act as a rail and continue the Southwestern motif.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR to 20 Sublime Outdoor Havens
This space feels so casual and inviting. I love the use of table lamps in outdoor rooms. They add a layer of light that is very soft and flattering. The rustic wood ceiling is a beautiful feature, and there are other very nice amenities. It is a little hard to see in this photo, but this outdoor room has a porch swing. That's something I would want in my ideal outdoor room. On top of that, speakers mounted on the wall above and to either side of the window provide music. A very nice touch.
added by Alex Jewett: Godden Sudik Architects to 7 Ideas to Get You Back on the Front Porch
The typical family room is about 15 by 15 feet. While your front porch doesn't need to be that large, it's important to have enough room for circulation around the furniture you plan to use there.The best way to make sure you use the porch is to turn it into an outdoor room. If you have a large porch, it's easy to put out enough furniture that whole family can use. This is a great way to expand the house and create a new living room.

private yet still in the open - the arches make it more of an enclosed personal space for a "window on the world" approach to outside living.
