House Tours: A Home Fit for the Fourth of July

Cozy Porch

When the homeowners built this beach house, they wanted a place that captured the relaxing and cheerful mood of summer. The large front porch welcomes neighbors or relatives who want to stop by to say hello or, hopefully, stay awhile. Wicker furniture and vintage pieces are perfect to handle the wear and tear of the outdoors. Mixing outdoor fabrics in stripes, solids, and florals maintains a casual, yet cohesive look.
