WEEKEND PHOTO: SWEET PORCH SWINGS!

September 22, 2012
  • Share
backyard patio with woven porch swing

I love a good porch swing. A place to relax…to gently swing back and forth…reading…thinking…dreaming…watching all that goes on outside a house…the perfect spot for the weekend.

I like these two porch swings.  The woven one above made just for one seems to look out onto a cute backyard…and the bench style swing below that can squeeze two people on it definitely provided views of a nice tranquil green lawn in the front yard of an island home.  I took the photo below this summer in Nantucket.  It is on the porch at the house where I stayed with best of friend FF and her family. So wonderfully relaxing.  Hmmmm…on the list of must haves I think…a porch swing!

Would you add a porch swing to your must have house list? Or is there some other outdoor perch you prefer?

Happy Saturday!

    I’ve always loved porch swings. So sweet and I can picture sitting with the man I grow old with on one.

    Nothing better than a great porch swing. Here’s hoping for more great weather so we can keep spending time on our porches!

    Oh such a lovely feeling to swing in here. Got another thing to add in my to-do house makeover. Got my eye on your next posts.

    I envy your porch swing.. I never have installed one on our porch but eventually I need to compromise and talk things over with my partner.
    Home Decorating is really a favorite past time of mine.
