New Porch Done

The breakfast bar tile was installed this morning on our new porch in Willow Glen, California.  This was the last major work to be done. I am very proud of our creation. My husband and I designed a completely new space (with much-appreciated advice from friends, relations, and professionals) and it came out beautifully. Best of all, the addition looks like it was always part of our 1930 house.  Our son Paul is already using it to work on his art.  As the weather gets warmer, I am sure the porch will become our preferred location for informal meals. I am half done installing the new planting bed in the garden around the new foundation. So glad to be done with contractors!

Here is what the same space looked like in July 2012:
