The Front Porch: A country icon



 Porch: noun

A covered and enclosed entrance to a building

Our front porch in Ojai is a wonderful spot. 
It didn't always look like this. 
Here are a few photos of the front porch and how we changed it.....

Below the original...not much to look at, but still a nice spot.  
The little lady who owned this home before us loved to sit out here too, I am told

I designed the front walk and the porch with local stone and used some rather unconventional rock to add to the whimsy of this area

The stones running through the center of the porch are ment to represent the arroyo running through the heart of the Arbolada in Ojai

 
Rock is a wonderful way to express different aspects of a home and its origins.
It can be artistic and unique but still be a part of the natural landscape  

What do you are want your visitors to think when they walk up to your door?




..Just add the rockers!


Have a wonderful 4th of July Holiday
And my sincere thanks to all of my new and not so new followers!

I read each and every comment and try to get back to everyone as best I can!

Off to eat some burgers and drink some wine.....
