Group 3 We can mention product names here- fair game! I've used some local people on the plastic "drapes" though and don't have a manufacturer's spec.

Chrystyna Alexander The "Amazing EZ screen porch windows" is the site that "looks" like it should work. Have you heard of this site? We are in northern michigan and have a fantastic view so would hate to lose that. Any other suggestions? Attached are a couple pictures but for some reason they are fuzzy on here.

Group 3 It's 2x6 pressure treated pine, tongue and groove decking, primed on all sides and painted with deck paint. Just like Grandpa would've done.

kmbsummer love the porch swing...any information you can provide on that swing?

Group 3 StewartBrannenMillwork.com, they're located near Savannah, GA.

Group 3 These are mahogany and made locally by Brannen Milworks.

Group 3 From wall to railing is 11'-4", a nice size that will allow you to furnish it as an exterior room.

allenks What about the chairs through the doors?

Group 3 Carolyn and the owner selected all of the furniture. You could try contacting her. :)

Group 3 The doors are mahogany and the stain is (I believe) Rez "mahogany".

lefty47 HI -- Think you need bigger posts further apart. As for the flooring , you will need to put down some plywood to keep the bugs out and I think a good quality out door carpet would be better than tiles. That's what we did over twenty years ago and it still looks great with no problems.We are working at screening it in soon too. We love to sit out and watch the rain etc. in the summer and we are going to add a heater for the cool nights.

lisabl I agree - bigger posts further apart will definitely improve the looks of my porch. I also like the idea of putting down plywood if I go with carpet again. I want my porch to reflect a dressed up yet relaxed nature - I am tired of the cabin-at-the-lake look (rough). I love my porch too - as do my cats and dogs. We all enjoy relaxing outdoors with no bugs to contend with. It's wonderful. Thank you for your input. This site is really helpful with people giving their ideas and input from experience.

hwold1 Yes I agree, looking at Swinging porch beds and haven't found anything local...
Maybe I good carpenter is all we need,

suecochran819 Try looking at vintageporchswings.com... They have some great designs and you can work with the owners to customize the colors and style to meet your needs.

Group 3 The interior designer, Carolyn Hultman might know.

Alan Clark Appalachian Woodwrights in NC can make custom wood doors like these, www.appwooddoors.com

Group 3 They're 8 feet tall and 2 1/4" thick mahogany doors with insulated glass "simulated divided lite"* and a (real) bronze threshold.

* 2 panes of glass with wood muntins on each side and a spacer bar in between so you get a reasonably close resemblance to a "true divided lite" door.
