It's an attractive vignette and looks to be a somewhat comfortable porch. Personally, if I had a porch fronting my home, I'm not sure I'd want all of that on it. I'd like to view this porch from the sidewalk or roadway to see if it looks as busy as I think it might.

I like it, I just don't know if I'd be able to run fast enough to gather it all up if a sudden blowing rain came in.

Lovely, but all I can think is bug bodies.

 

I have a large wrap-around porch and I can tell you that keeping it clean is a full time job.

 

If I don't blow off the pollen/bugs/unidentified stuff every other day, it's pretty awful.

 

I would never, ever consider "sleeping" out there unless it was screened in. 

 

This is a beautiful "for show" porch, but impractical in every way unless you have full time help keeping it spotless Cat LOL

I'm all over this - nap included.

It looks like the front of a home but to me it looks like it's decorated for more privacy and should be in the back.  I would love to take a nap on that swing but not out in front of the house.

Oh pretty!  I see these on some porches in my neighborhood in SE VA.

My thoughts exactly.  Plus, if you live where you have seasons, where would you store the items when they were not in use? 

 

If you have a household with a fully paid staff, then yes, go for this look.  But, for the average homeowner, this is not realistic.

I love it a very pretty look, not sure how easy it would to be to keep clean though!

Casual, understated elegance....I love this porch!
