I dream of the days my sweetie and I can sit on our porch and watch the kids and horses, looking off into the woods. I would like to have a true back porch, not just a deck. A covered one at least on the back.

Our roof is really crazy, so I'm not sure of what the best option to look into adding a covered porch would be. Granted, it may be a while before we can get it done but I wanted to throw around some ideas with him.

Our bedroom exits out of the French doors on the back by the fireplace. We also need to take the fireplace into consideration.

The French doors further up open into our open living/kitchen it also has those two brick columns, which if anyone remembers, hubby is NOT willing to get rid of. (though I'd plow them down tomorrow if I could, but hey pick your battles right) That area has a concrete patio around 10x12 or 12x12. it has a small awning that only covers the doorway. I'd like to keep that seperate but also update it to make it tie more into the "back porch" look (not just bare concrete)


Any suggestions?
