Our two month old porch addition is undoubtedly the baby of our forty-four year old house but it absolutely my favorite "room" of the lot!
We use this space from sun up till waaaaay past sun down - having coffee, dining, playing games, reading, listening to music, cocktailing, entertaining, roasting s'mores and watching the littles run wild in the yard. If we had room for a bed we'd be sleeping out here.
And in a house where we've worked terribly hard to make it our own, it was wonderfully luxurious to start with a sketch on paper and build it from the ground up. Every light, every board, every thing being just as we wanted it.
I truly love this house with all my heart - it's a long story, but I knew it would be mine the first time I ever laid eye on it. This porch is just the cherry on top! (see even more of the porch here)

Amanda
Thanks so much, Amanda, for sharing this wonderful porch addition. I know y'all must love it. Such a beautiful job you did decorating it, too. If y'all want to see more of Amanda's beautiful home please pop over to her blog Dixie Delights. Be sure and get comfy you may be there a while.

What a most beautiful porch! I love everything... the colors... the details... the shape... the FIREPLACE... the rug... the curtains... and that great fish sign!!! There is so much inspiration and thing to love (and copy) here! Amanda, no wonder you love your home so much... I do too!
Thanks, Kim for your great series. It's always a must-read on Friday morning!
Hi Kimmie! Oh, what a beautiful porch! I'm jealous all over the place! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Thanks, Kim, for the porch tour. Kimmie- your porch is beautiful and blends so well with the exterior of your home. What a great space and decorated so nicely. I might have to borrow the labelled jars for game pieces idea for our basement. I have two little jars with chess pieces and dice, but the labels and decks of cards are something I can use.
What a fantastic porch!!! If I lived there, that would be my favorite room too. The fireplace is such a wonderful feature out there too. I love the decor too. It's simple and uncluttered with serene colors, just as a porch should be so you can relax. That would be a great place to entertain too!
Elizabeth, her name is Amanda. Sheila was calling me Kimmie.
thanks
Love her porch and how she decorated it. I will have to check out her blog. Thanks Kim
I saw Amanda's porch recently {from a linky party} and just love it! Such a great space and it is decorated so beautifully. I love the games in the large glass jars. It must be a great family space.
What a fabulous porch , I can see why Amanda and her family spend sunup to sundown and beyond using this room. She has designed a space everyone would like to spend time in.
What a beautiful place to spend an afternoon, I can see why it would be your favorite room Amanda! Thanks for sharing it with us Kim!

Thanks for Hosting Kim.. I am luving your series ' My favourite room'

Hi Kim,
Wow, thanks for asking Dixie to share. What a wonderful room, and it definitely looks more like a room than a porch. Absolutely delightful, no wonder they spend most of there time out there.
So many wonderful elements to the porch, love the colors and just everything about it.
Thanks Dixie for sharing it with us.
Blessings, Nellie
What a fantastic room! Maurie will be cringing when I show him this, because I have to have one! And no doubt it has added a lot of value to their home.
I can see why Amanda and her family spend so much time out there, it's stunning!! Great feature Kim, hope your feeling better.
Amanda is a doll! And Dixie Delights is such fun to read and look at :) Love her style and getting to see all her pretties. It's a treat!!
Amanda and Kim, I'd be on this porch from sun up to way past sun down too. Wonderful space! Thanks for sharing.
Kim, this is by far my favorite yet, but I think I am biased. Amanda has great style and taste. She is what I consider a "super woman"--- mom, wife, employee, and much more! She does everything wonderfully. Thanks for picking Amanda. She is the reason I started blogging.
Kim...I love Amanda's home...I have been watching the progress of her beautiful porch...loved all the gorgeous projects from the chandelier to the serving table..Thanks for presenting her magnificent porch with that awesome fireplace...
Amanda...love your beautiful sense of style and I am totally in love with everything that depicts "Southern Style"....bravo to you and your hubby for a job well done!
This was a great feature, Kim! I love everything about Amanda's entire home! She has done a wonderful job!!!
This is the porch of my dreams. Amanda did such a beautiful job.
OMG, I have FALLEN IN LOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This porch is a DREAM!!!! I love every single inch of it, every detail, especially the FIREPLACE and the furniture is gorgeous. I hope we can do this one day. Thanks, Kim for sharing Amanda's beautiful porch. I LOVE this series. Hope you continue it. XO, Pinky
Great porch feature- I just love it all. I would like to hear the whole story about how she knew the house would be hers before she even saw it- xo Diana
WOW, what a fantastic feature, Kim. Amanda did such an amazing job...I'm a bit envious to say the least! =) Have a great weekend! XO ~Liz
I'd be spending all my time out there, too! It's beautifully decorated right down to the curtains on the window. Thanks for the tour!
Kim - Thanks for this post. She has an amazing porch - I would live out there.

Wow, wow, wow!!! Thank you, Kim and Amanda, for sharing. Amanda, your porch is a total delight. I would have to make a list to tell you everything I love, and the list would include everything. I can tell you my favorite - the painting over the fireplace. Oh my gosh. Absolutely inspired.♥♥♥
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. These pictures speak volumes. I can feel the joy, love and pride that went into this project. It' s beautiful and I can see why you spend so much time there. Well done Amanda, and thank you Kim for featuring it.
Soooo pretty and such great inspiration!
Oh how I'd love a covered porch like this! Amanda has great style and like she said - this is just the cherry on top of a fabulous home!
Kelly
Wow, this is beautiful! It makes me want to start another remodel project on my back deck! Just lovely and I can see why it would be a favorite room, it would be for me too!
Terry
PS great idea for this Linky party!
Terry, it is not a linky party. Just an invited guest blogger series. thanks
Every inch of it is filled with wonderful details, Amanda! I've seen it before, but I loved taking it all in again! Just gorgeous!
I never get tired of looking at that porch! Every detail is perfect!

I love it Kim! So beautiful and functional. Where did you find the fish painting? We live on the water and love to fish but finding good fish art has been challenging. Thanks!
Sew Grown, you have no reply comment blogger on so maybe you will look here for an answer. This is a post by a guest blogger. It is not my room. I am sure Amanda would be glad to answer you.
