It's been so wonderful to watch you turn your new home into such a special place!! As for the empty area on your screened in porch - what about some sort of standing planter or raised garden bed? You could have flowers or even herbs in there, and the plants would probably be pretty happy with water coming in through the screens!

Emily! You did amazing on that pond and porch! The new life you’re bringing to this space is awesome to watch! The part of the porch that gets rained on would be great to have a long side table of plants and flowers. It would get great light AND free watering on rainy days. You could grow your own herbs or flowers to put indoors too. And you could use the underside of that narrow table for more plants or storage (watering cans and such)! Wishing you continued blessings and abundance sweet friend! Love the critter and blooper reels!!! ❤❤ PS. Maybe you can add a curtain rod on that side and put a long clear shower curtain (clear or with bright flowers) to cover from the rain when you don’t want it intruding as much. Then you can control when and how much rain gets in. Not sure if feasible but maybe a starting point to something else. Hugs!

I really like the idea of a bistro table with 2 chairs even though you said you would not use it but I think you would....it would be more comfy than bending over to the coffee table.....you could use it as a place you do "crafts" on beautiful days!
