20 Things: Veranda with a View

This is the final day of my “20 Things” series!  I’ve been posting about 20 things that I would love to have in my house one day… you can read about it in this post.

Oh, veranda. *sigh*  How I would love thee.  Verandas appeal to me for many reasons:

-They give instant interest and character to the exterior of a home

-They look resplendent in Christmas lights, garland, or other seasonal decorations

-They create a wonderfully welcoming transition space from outside to in

-And how much would I LOVE to sit outside on the veranda watching a thunderstorm roll in?  Or to curl up with my Bible and a blanket and watch the sun rise?  Or sip some chai on a crisp fall day?  Verandas provide such an easy way to enjoy the outdoors.  And I am in love with them.

The house plan we’ve got bookmarked has a wraparound veranda.  Good luck trying to convince me to build any other house.

I can imagine my mudroom exactly like this one.
