Photo: Sarah Greenman © 2013 Houzz Rieves has a bungalow style home with a large front porch where she can share her decorations with the neighborhood. Autumnal throw pillows on the porch swing can be used throughout the season even after Halloween has come and gone. A table lamp gives the porch the cozy feel of an indoor space. It sits atop a 1930's era table purchased from an antique mall in Forney, Texas. Paint color: Spanish Moss, Restoration Hardware; paint: Sherwin Williams

Large beach style stamped concrete metal railing back porch idea in Austin with a fireplace and a roof extension

A perfect playroom space for two young girls to grow into. The space contains a custom made playhouse, complete with hidden trap door, custom built in benches with plenty of toy storage and bench cushions for reading, lounging or play pretend. In order to mimic an outdoor space, we added an indoor swing. The side of the playhouse has a small soft area with green carpeting to mimic grass, and a small picket fence. The tree wall stickers add to the theme. A huge highlight to the space is the custom designed, custom built craft table with plenty of storage for all kinds of craft supplies. The rustic laminate wood flooring adds to the cottage theme. Bob Narod Photography
