22A CASUAL SPOT FOR GATHERING
Out back, another porch holds its own as additional living
space, outfitted with wicker furniture and a dresser for
storage. “Porches have really become destinations,” Ingram
says. “They are their own rooms, not just extensions of
other rooms.” The ceiling and floor match those on the
front porch, but he went ahead and screened in this space.
“I tend to think that back porches are always a little more
casual and, therefore, lend themselves more to being
screened in,” he says.
