This versatile outdoor space is an inviting place to gather friends for an evening of catching up.  The double doors and upper windows open up to allow for fresh breezes to fill the home. The table in the center with stools for seating is perfect for alfresco dining.

Southern outdoor seating inspiration would not be complete without including a screened porch, perfect for enjoying the outdoors all year long. Ceilings painted pale blue help ward off birds and bugs alike. Cozy up by the fireplace on a chilly spring night and enjoy a good magazine.
