When we built our home 7 years ago, we had a long covered porch that went across the
back of the house. A couple years later we realized that the overcast weather in Santa Monica
meant that we barely ever used our porch. So, I convinced Steve to close it in with french doors
and make it into a garden room.
It is one of my favorite rooms in our house.
The kids love having friends over for dinner. There are many nights when we have at least ten kids
around our old farm house table. Isn't that what a home is all about?
