The last installment of our Summer Porch Series is actually my own Screened Porch. My husband Tom and I love this outdoor space, and I have designed it like I would any other room in my home. When we purchased our home, it was just a covered porch. We added the screens, and it has been worth every penny. A couple of years ago, we even added a television out here so we could watch our beloved Bulldogs play football. We brought the all-weather wicker furniture from our previous home, but I recently had the cushions recovered in outdoor fabrics of blues and greens. This extends the color palette from my newly redesigned Den into this space. I added colorful accessories like an oversized green ceramic lamp, and navy jute poufs serve as my coffee table. I even added artwork to fill the large wall over a console. Of course, I let nature be the best accessory and filled pots and hanging baskets with pet friendly plants. We love our Screened Porch and utilize it as a third living space in our home. We hope you have enjoyed our Summer Porch Series and are inspired to redesign your outdoor spaces. If you need help, just give us a call. Enjoy!

The million dollar view. Bringing the inside out to this spacious 200 SF patio deck. Second living room and dining room in one. Best to fill up with as many plants as possible. Add a water feature for white noise from the street below and the neighbors above. A little lattice to add more separation to the adjacent neighbors. The trellis above can hold typical canvas or cloth sails. Be sure to ask the HOA for permission before physically attaching anything to the structure.

Herb Happiness! We just finished converting an old beverage cart into a flowering herb garden planted in heavy stone/glazed pottery to compliment the new patio furniture. A graceful copper peacock watches over the garden. Beautiful Italian pottery containers were filled with lush and colorful landscape.

A stylish transitional living room featuring a deep gray sectional adorned with textured and faux fur pillows for a cozy yet sophisticated feel. Round nesting coffee tables with metallic bases add a modern touch, topped with books, beads, and fresh florals. Bold wall art and jewel-toned accents provide vibrant pops of color, while French doors and open sightlines to the kitchen fill the space with natural light.

Set near Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis’s Kenwood neighborhood, this Tudor-inspired custom home blends medieval character with thoughtful craftsmanship. Exposed timber framing, stained glass, and hand-forged ironwork introduce warmth and story throughout the interior. A two-story library with nature-inspired motifs, a light-filled conservatory, and a centrally placed soapstone stove create gathering spaces that feel both timeless and imaginative. Subtle sustainable strategies, including super-insulated construction and solar orientation, support long-term comfort and efficiency.

The backside of the island is filled with accessible storage for the cook. Two pull out organizers house spices and oils and utensils. In the center a bank of drawers with two deep drawers for pot and pan storage keeps everything at the cook's fingertips. A built in wall oven with a convection microwave finishes off the cooking zone.
