Screen Porch with Water View - Westport, Connecticut

For this screened porch in Westport, Connecticut, Caroline Kopp chose a large trestle table which echoes the beadboard ceiling. Steel side chairs, softened by woven host chairs and blue pillows, provide a comfortable place for guests to sit. Teak lanterns and potted ferns beautify the table which has an antique boat lantern hanging over it, allowing evening meals and games after the sun has gone down. The other side of the porch provides a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the water view. Caroline Kopp arranged comfortable chairs together with a large pouf, accented by galvanized steel drum side tables. A patterned blue and grey outdoor carpet defines the space and adds color.
