Now that the harsh October winds are blowing across much of the Midwest and the East Coast, it’s not uncommon for homeowners to bring their patio furniture indoors for the season. A few weeks ago I set about transforming my screen room into its functional winter equivalent – a sun porch. Basically this process requires that I remove all of the screens from the windows and replace them with a pane of glass. Then I keep the sliding door to the rest of the house open, allowing the room to be heated.

In this way, I still get plenty of use out of my cedar patio furniture – even when the snow begins to fall and being outside for any lengthy period of time is simply out of the question. I like to retire to the sun porch to read a good book or to chat with family members. No matter what leisurely activity I might pursue, it’s heightened and improved by the stunning view out those windows.
