I am always drooling over the wonderful porches in Traverse City and that I have a serious case of porch envy. And someday, maybe I’ll have a wonderful wraparound porch, but for now our front porch is more of a front stoop. When we finally have the cash to build our wonderful porch, I want to be fully educated, so I regularly walk the streets of Traverse City with camera in tow to photograph the all welcoming beauties that catch my eye. I hope you enjoy this collection of porches and be careful… you too, might catch a case of porch envy!
Here’s our house. Yes. I do realize that we have a small front porch, but I’m yearning for a wraparound number. After all, we have a view of the bay… wouldn’t it be great to enjoy it from a great new front porch?
Here’s our front porch. You can read about its transformation here. It’s come along way already, but who says you can’t dream big?
