Second-Floor Porch

Get Comfortable Outside
This second-floor porch, just above the front porch, has a sense of privacy, with solid railings and overhanging eaves.

Paige chose dark woven furniture to create casual seating areas on the house’s porches. The dark brown furniture is a stunning contrast to the pale green exterior of the house. The cushions, in aqua, green, and white stripes, are a color clue to what’s inside. The woven frames are made from durable resin to stand up to the corrosive salt air.
