We have two sleeping porches, one upstairs and one downstairs. It's called a sleeping porch because when the house was built, it was the coolest room on those hot summer nights. They'd throw open all the windows and get a breeze. There's 11 windows in the lower room and 12 in the upper so window treatments are a real issue. My husband uses the upper sleeping porch as his office. He has the best corner office ever!
This is my parents' first house.
This is my house. Wierd, isn't it?!
I love the porches. And using one as an office is a great idea. Nice view, nice breeze. Wish I could see your parents a little better.
