Before: Neglected Porch
Colleen and Leif Ueland live a colorful, creative and eclectic life. He’s a writer/photographer and she is a choreographer/dancer. In their spare time, they enjoy painting and renovating their awesome 1905 home. They also just recently bought the house next door as an investment and are in the process of fixing that up too. With all that work, they haven’t had much time to decorate their screen porch. In the warm weather, the couple loves to use the porch (pictured, right). They wish the room was more stylish and more functional. They want a place for reading, entertaining, exercising and napping.

With the help of host Joan Steffend, carpenter Jeff Meyer, and less than $500, designer Melissa Pizarro combines Mexican and Scandinavian influences to turn this porch into a colorful and relaxing oasis. The makeover starts by pickling the wooden floor with white stain for a subtle white-wash effect.
