I recently rearranged the porch, switching the table corner for the sitting corner. I like it very much and if I wasn't already spending almost all my home time out there, now I am looking for a spot to put a hammock so I can have a spot to take some cat naps. The t shirt rag rug is finished and has found a temporary home in the sitting corner.
The difference between the top and bottom pictures is the light , evening and morning respectively. The porch table was literally turned into my creative office on the weekend. I also added a cushion to the love seat made from a bookhou tea towel.
By the way I started a little flickr group called everyone needs a little bookhou and would love if you have any suitable pics of bookhou products in your home if you would add them. The group is really amazing already.
oh my.... i have always wanted a porch, for its dreamy effect on me... i don't know why. it may remind me of american movies, in which a porch sometimes gets its rightful place???
yours looks definitely GREAT!

I see you have to try and beat the cat to the best seat though!

What a cozy & perfect little nook !
It's funny : a friend of mine make tea towels, too and I love mine so much that I recently told her
"I'm never gonna use them, you know that, right ?"
and thought "maybe I'll turn them into cushions" ha !
