Pinterest offers tremendous visual ideas but they must be narrowed down to avoid overwhelm. Selected six of my favorite images to use as an example of how the screened in porch design will happen.

Number 1...similar to my big a** island, ha, the porch must allow for expansive views. This Grasshopper has learned. Post about 6'0 doors taught me to ask a lot of questions when planning spaces where the view needs to be maximized.

• Prefer screens with no obstruction which means no spindles and rails.
• Shed Roof is paramount because any tall roof such as an A-Frame will darken the great room and the dining/kitchen area. Not going to cover any area that is not already covered.
• Fireplace may not happen due to the view obstruction. Investing in a table with a fire will give the ambiance we are seeking. Also planning to create a fire-pit area below as well.
• Not sure about interior color. At this point, leaning to all wood or wood ceiling to cater to the rustic lake feel.
