Perfect Porches
On the porch of Sara and Seve Paradis’ weekend cabin “one can read Mark Twain from the vantage point of an antique brass bed loaded with gently worn quilts as, down on the Ohio, bellowing barges ply their way downriver toward the great Mississippi.” Then there are welcoming country wraparounds, Southern gathering places, waterfront aeries, each with its own personality and charm. From lavishly decorated outdoor rooms with fireplaces and stylish living room sets to porches simply furnished for watching the sunset, Paula Wallace offers a glimpse at 40-plus perfect porches where beauty and comfort matter most, then shows you how to create your own with professional advice on lighting, furnishing, textiles and more. Color photos.

"Perfect Porches" is perfect!
August 09, 2010
This is a really beautiful book. I buy lots of books thru HomeStyle Books, and most I am quite pleased with. But this book is exceptional. Sometimes I like to read the text but often pay more attention to the photos in a book, but this book has both. The story of The Illumination is just magical, and the accompanying pix are fantastic! I highly recommend Perfect Porches!
