Porcho Paradiso


My all-time favourite movie is Cinema Paradiso & this porch is paradise too.(With only one small exception being the tie cushions on the dining chairs!)
3 separate entertaining areas (that we can see!) ......and shutters and hydrangeas and bead boards and french doors complete with fanlight windows and a post & rail verandah ! Yes, I know its OTT, but I love it all the same!

  2. Makes me weep Millie - my whole unit (or as I like to call it "my apartment" he he) could just fit on this porch.....

  4. I would love to sit out there with some girlfriends having some iced tea and laughing all day. The french doors with the arched windows are beautiful. I love it.
