Eyes on the Street

One of the most underappreciated design opportunities on a porch addition is the ceiling. One of the best material options is a true, tongue and groove beaded board ceiling. We've painted them white, stained them, and for the more adventurous homeowner painted them a sky blue. Common in the southern states, a painted blue porch ceiling is a whimsical, re-presentation of the sky in your outdoor room. PHOTO: DLD
