Porch Makeover

Before

After

The honey-colored ceiling, walls, floor and furniture on this porch are nice but lack pizzazz. Interior designer Nancy Golden decides to use a striped awning theme to add personality to the space. She infuses color by creating a mock area rug with stains and a large storage piece, which carries the colors up the wall. An interior awning, country fabrics and antique furniture make this room comfortable for each member of the young active family to use.
