PERFECT PORCHES(ISBN=9780307460240) 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

　　A well-designed porch is like a welcoming committee that

invites friends and family to share stories, catch up on

neighborhood news, or quietly enjoy the breezes of a sultry summer

evening. Porches bridge our public and private worlds, and convey

the essence of one’s home.

In more than 250 stunning photographs of forty homes, Perfect

Porches illustrates how varied these iconic American spaces can be.

A wealth of structural appointments are presented, such as the

extended eaves of a rain porch along the Gulf Coast, the shimmering

copper flooring of a converted Amish cattle barn in Bluegrass

country, and Outback-inspired painted thresholds in California’s

wine region. Unexpected ornaments, including Moroccan pendant

lamps, a vintage watering can collection, or a majolica menagerie

can transform even the most modest porch into an oasis. This book

also reveals a host of practical ways to bring privacy to urban

porches, chic accents to old-fashioned verandas, and coziness to

modern environments. Home owners share colorful stories about using

their porches as communal stages for magical and sometimes

mythological events, telling of ghosts encountered, arias sung, and

families reunited.

Whether you seek to reawaken a cherished memory of a childhood

porch, create an adorned haven of your own, or take an enlightening

journey across the nation, this volume is certain to become a

treasured companion as well as a source of fresh inspiration.
