The Outdoor Living Room: Stylish Ideas for Porches, Patios, and Pools by Martha Baker, ISBN 0609606468
In the summer months and year-round in warmer climates, Americans love spending time outdoors. More and more, people are treating the outdoor spaces on their properties as true extensions of their homes, turning porches, pools, patios, decks, and gardens into outdoor living spaces that serve the same functions as indoor rooms. In The Outdoor Living Room: Stylish Ideas for Porches, Patios, and Pools, acclaimed author Martha Baker offers more than forty-five striking examples of this enlightened approach to outdoor decorating.
The Outdoor Living Room is divided into six chapters, each representing a specific type of outdoor style: Classic, Rustic, Romantic, Modern, Whimsical, and In Town. Six or seven different locations are featured in every chapter, each contributing a different idea or novel aspect of the same style. A multipaged "Components" section appears at the end of each chapter focusing on important elements of outdoor decorating, such as paving and lighting, followed by a heavily...

Swinging in Place: Porch Life in Southern Culture by Jocelyn Hazelwood Donlon, ISBN 0807826529
The front porch evokes cherished memories from across a lifetime for many southerners--recollections of childhood games, courtship, family visits, gossip with neighbors. In this book, Jocelyn Hazelwood Donlon offers an original appreciation of the significance of the porch to everyday life in the South. The porch, she reveals, is not a simple place after all, but a stage for many social dramas. She uses literature, folklore, oral histories, and photographs to show how southerners have used the porch to negotiate public and private boundaries--in ways so embedded in custom that they often go unrecognized. Her sources include writings by Dorothy Allison, William Faulkner, Ernest Gaines, Gloria Naylor, Zora Neale Hurston, and Lee Smith, as well as oral histories that provide varying racial, gender, class, and regional perspectives.
Originally derived from a number of ethnic traditions, the porch evolved in America into something both structurally and culturally unique. In this, the first...

The Best Place by Susan Meddaugh, ISBN 0395979943
The old wolf likes his house. He likes his neighbors. But he loves his screen porch. From his screen porch he can watch a beautiful sunset. He can be outside when it rains yet never get wet. The mosquitoes can't bite him on his screen porch, and even on the hottest summer nights there is always a breeze.
The wolf thinks his screen porch is the best place in the world until one day his friend Bird says: "How do you know? You've never been anyplace else".
This simple question sends the wolf on a journey of discovery, and before he leaves he sells his house. But when he returns, he wants to buy it back. He behaves very badly, and even his good intentions get him into trouble. But in the end the wolf understands that sometimes when you can't get what you want, you find something even better.

Read by David Morse
In this, her fourteenth novel--and one of her most endearing--Anne Tyler tells the story of a lovable loser who's trying to get his life in order.
Barnaby Gaitlin has been in trouble ever since adolescence. He had this habit of breaking into other people's houses. It wasn't the big loot he was after, like his teenage cohorts. It was just that he liked to read other people's mail, pore over their family photo albums, and appropriate a few of their precious mementos.
But for eleven years now, he's been working steadily for Rent-a-Back, renting his back to old folks and shut-ins who can't move their own porch furniture or bring the Christmas tree down from the attic. At last, his life seems to be on an even keel.
Still, the Gaitlins (of "old" Baltimore) cannot forget the price they paid for buying off Barnaby's former victims. And his ex-wife would just as soon he didn't show up ever to visit their little girl, Opal. Even the nice,...
