March 2012 - Spring Porch Planning

any years ago our Catalog said “To hear little birds singing and smell the freshness of a spring morning… that’s almost heaven!” It’s spring in Texas (and in a lot of the country!) and the little birds are indeed singing!

In fact, the Folks at Vintage are already enjoying more time on our porches... watching and listening to the birds, listening to nearby frogs croaking at dusk, and admiring our blooming yards as the days get longer and warmer.

We at Vintage also appreciate our porches for the rest they provide from chores inside the home. They are great places to socialize with family and friends or to just relax with a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade. And as you know, porches also provide eye-catching curb appeal and increased value for your home.
 
If you already have a porch we bet it serves you and your family in similar ways. But, are you enjoying all the advantages it has to offer? Is it deep and wide enough to accommodate your desired furniture for prime relaxing? Is it covered to allow you to watch a rainstorm? Is it decorated to provide the best first impression possible?
 
And if you don't have a porch, well… it’s time to discover what you're missing!

So whether you have a porch that could benefit from a little spring spruce-up or have always wanted to add a porch, now's a great time to start planning, and we're here to help!
