Another Throwback!!
Today’s Thursday Throwback goes to front porches. I couldn’t love them more. Though it’s difficult to imagine them on a beautifully modern house, I have to think that there’s a way. The picture below gives a pretty good interpretation, but it has that screen that I’m not so much in love with. I’ve worked on a house where the owners were outside on a porch every morning at 8:00 am, when we got there. The porch was actually off of their bedroom, and they would watch the sunrise together and eat their breakfast. Another couple in a neighborhood we used to live in was very similar, and they would talk to us (from their porch) about how in the “good ol’ days” streets were so much more social because of front porches. They said that people started putting patios in the backyard for more privacy and now neighbors don’t have the same opportunity to converse. I want a really great house someday, but I’ll tell you one thing: ugly or not, I’ll have a front porch with a swing on it.
