This screened porch addition in Colchester, VT, is exactly the kind of space a Vermont backyard needs. At 16 by 21 feet, with screens on every side, it blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living and makes you want to stay outside just a little longer.
It's a space built for more moments: grilling and dining outside, catching golden hour in the summer, watching the leaves change in the fall with a cup of coffee, relaxing in the hot tub while the snow falls in the winter.
The space was planned around the little details.
A tongue-and-groove ceiling overhead
Trex decking underfoot
Minimal black railings that carry the same line around the perimeter and down the new stairs to the backyard
