on the Porch"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>When we moved into our house last fall, all of our energy went towards cleaning away construction dust, unpacking boxes, decorating, and making our house a home.\u00a0 Even though it was fall, I really didn&#8217;t have the time or energy to do much in the way of fall decor.\u00a0 Mind you, I like to do my seasonal decorating using things that I have to create a look, but it just wasn&#8217;t in me.\u00a0 This year is a different story.\u00a0 Although I am using a reserved approach, our home does have a fall vibe.\u00a0 The most recent space I want to share with you is our fall porch.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42748\"

the porch was originally a breezeway between the garage and kitchen.\u00a0 During the major remodel that we did, the breezeway became an enclosed porch with sliders that open to our walled courtyard.\u00a0 The porch enters into a new family room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42742\"

between the house and garage.\u00a0\u00a0 So, we have to keep that in mind with our furniture placement.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it has to be against the wall rather than floating.<\/p>\n<p
