The screened-in porch makeover was supposed to take 3 months. Instead, it took 7 months! The good news? It\u2019s finally done! I haven\u2019t shared much about the makeover on the blog because frankly, the steps were pretty boring. I wasn\u2019t sure you\u2019d appreciate a whole post on painting. The only project I\u2019ve shared to date is the floating buffet table<\/a> we made out of reclaimed wood. Let\u2019s start with the before shot so we can all remember how this room looked when we bought the house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis porch was actually a HUGE<\/strong> selling feature of the house. While it needed some cosmetic work a porch like this would easily have been a $20,000 addition. And in a place like coastal Virginia having a way to be outside without getting eaten by mosquito is priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPhase 1 of the makeover consisted of improving the structure itself. Here is what we did:<\/p>\n\n\n\nReplaced warped posts<\/li>Painted all railings and posts white and the ceiling blue.<\/li>Added screens and a screened door<\/li>Added rot-resistant molding to the outside of the structure<\/li>Replaced the fan<\/li>Installed a drain in the floor<\/li>Tiled the floor<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nPhase 2 will consist of the decorative aspect of the makeover including new furniture. So, for now please ignore the old dirty furniture. And here\u2019s how it looks now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIsn\u2019t the transformation amazing?? I love how cheery and bright the space is now. It really does feel like an extension of our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAnd here is some exterior shots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSo, there it is! I can\u2019t even begin to describe how pleased we are with this space! As for the rest of the backyard\u2026..we have huge plans in the works. I mean like the most exciting plans we\u2019ve ever made for this house.
