100-Year-Old Cottage, 21st Century Remodel

That's when Christine and Curt realized how pleasant it would be to step out of their bedroom and onto a covered upstairs porch. Summerour went back to the drawing board, stacking a second, nearly identical porch over the first. Today, both porches are outfitted with ceiling fans to counter heat and mosquitoes. As the couple contemplated the ways they'd put their porches to use, it occurred to them that they could also add fireplaces to extend porch season.
