Porches We Love

Find Harmony - Built in the shingle style to blend into its natural surroundings, this island retreat takes advantage of marsh and golf course scenery with multiple porches. Charlotte-based interior designer Charlotte Lucas outfitted this one, off the breakfast room, with coffee-or-cocktail seating for two. A simple copper lantern keeps the vibe rustic.

Weather the Elements - Outdoor-friendly furnishings and materials—performance fabric on the teak lounge chairs and sofa and planks of hardy, rot-resistant garapa—make this covered space overlooking Ralston Creek a sleek yet comfy respite most of the year.
