If imitation is truly the most sincere form of flattery, homeowners Jane and Tom Johnson should feel complimented. In July of 1993 we featured their rear porch addition in our magazine. Inspired by the Johnsons' renovation, Little Rock homeowner Janie McDonald tore out the article and kept it until she could find the time and finances to do a little renovating.

"I liked the porch in the article because it was as appealing from the outside as it was on the inside," says Janie. She worked with architect John Allison to punch out the back of her bungalow and add the screened porch.
