A new homeowner springs for a screened-in porch to keep mosquitoes out. Best. Investment. Ever. Why you should consider one.
LIVING COLOR Ms. Krikorian kept the interior design neutral, reasoning that the trees seen through the windows will be her ‘pop of color.’, when I floated the idea of a screened-in porch to my opinionated, renovation-savvy friends, some thought it frivolous. One considered the plan old-fashioned. “I don’t get it,” she said. But I did. My house in Springs, N.Y., which I bought in 2014, is in a woodsy area, 350 steps from the harbor.
A year almost to the day after I finished my porch, Covid-19 forced us into lockdown. That summer, my pandemic dinner pod was able to eat together, al fresco but covered, even if it rained, at a time when eating with mixed households indoors was deemed a bad idea. Deep into winter, we bundled up in down and fleece and sat on my porch eating cassoulet like we were in Paris, even when it snowed.
