Farmhouse-Style Screened Porch

Here is a tour of our farmhouse-style screened porch with a vaulted ceiling, beadboard, galvanized accents, and barn doors.


When we moved into our house, our dream was to build a lovely farmhouse-style screened porch on the back.

Something we could use 3 seasons of the year.

Something that would make for an excellent photography studio.

And a space to throw killer parties!

Before Photos

Before, we had a little covered stoop with steps leading down to an existing wooden deck pathway that met a floating deck in the yard.

Our goal was to connect them into one massive deck playground.

After: Our Farmhouse-Style Screened Porch

Our contractor picked out all of the fixtures, so unfortunately I don’t know the name or brand of each.

But hopefully if you’re interested in a similar project you can show the photos to your contractor for inspiration.

    Your porch is beautiful! It would never match my stucco home here in the desert (nor would my Homeowner’s Association approve something like that) but it is stunning… maybe someday when I’m rich and powerful and have my mountain escape, I can have something like that! Nice work!

    First of all, this is gorgeous! Magazine quality beautiful. I love those light fixtures.

    I do have a question though, and I apologize if this is too personal – how much did this cost and how are you guys able to afford this?! My boyfriend and I are currently saving up to buy a house but the expenses are adding up so quickly. Between starting a business, buying a house, building a beautiful addition, getting all new appliances, AND saving up for a baby all within a year or so – how do you make it work? Are you lucky enough to receive family help, or are the blog and bakery covering the costs of all this?

      We were looking for houses in a higher price range then this one, so when we decided on this one – and got a great deal due to a somewhat desperate seller and really long time on the market – we were able to put the money we saved on the downpayment into the porch. It was over $15,000, but worth every penny, especially considering the use we’ll get out of it and the resale potential. [Although the thought of selling it someday breaks my heart!]

    New house, add on porch, new appliances, trip to Jamaica, weekend in NYC, trip to Califorrnia, weekend trips to Baltimore and the beach and baby on the way, all within the last 6 months or so – do you wonder why some of your readers might be envious. Hope you are grateful for the charmed life you live and have some empathy for your readers who work at jobs every day, have young children and are trying desparetely to make ends meet. You are definitely blessed.

      I would say professional bloggers most certainly work full-time jobs! Posting up to three times a day, taking and editing beautiful photographs, managing busy sites with sometimes hundreds of comments to moderate, even posting multiple times on the WEEKENDS when most of us have the luxury of completely detaching from work. In addition to being dedicated and hard working, bloggers are also brave. It’s tough to put yourself completely out there, opening yourself up to harsh criticism from people who don’t even really know you.

      Lastly, no woman should be put in a position of having to apologize for her success. I have no doubt Kath is extremely grateful for her happy life, but she and Matt have also worked really hard to follow their dreams and see them achieved.

        Kath is definitely blessed to have so many nice things in her life! She shows them on the blog all the time, so of course readers will notice. It is hard when you work full time and don’t have as many nice things to see posts filled with pics of trips and expensive things, but I choose to read here so I don’t let it bother me. I know I have a really great life, even if I don’t have as many material things. I’m sure Kath knows how blessed she is. With so many trips and such a nice house (and a family that seems very close and supportive) how could she not?

Really is beautiful, kath, and I am loving that you’re spending so much time out there. I would too!! My parents have a screened porch and it is easily my favorite part of the house.

    I have been wanting to see more of the porch since we hope to add one onto our house, too, and now here it is, all put together nice and tidy. I’m eager to show this to husband. I was not looking forward to searching all over your blog looking for the various photos to give him a feel for what I’ve see a little at a time through your various posts.

    Thank you for taking the time to put this together with angles, details, etc. and especially thank you for answering another commentors question about cost. That will give all of us who desire such a beautiful space for ourselves a guess as to what something similar might cost for ourselves.

    I have been oohing and ahhing over your porch pics for months… Having a screened-in porch already I didn’t have much hope of mine ever being quite as beautiful. It is, hands down, my favorite part of our house, but it was beginning to show it’s age.

    My husband built an amazing (!) deck last year and we wanted to spruce up the porch so that it didn’t look so shabby in comparison. A couple weeks ago my husband started on the “small project” of replacing some rotten boards. When he started taking things apart, more and more rot was revealed, and within a couple of days our porch was totally gutted!!! (Apparently the person who built it 20 years ago didn’t exactly know what they were doing because they constructed it in such a way that allowed water in every time it rained.) SOooo, quite by accident we are renovating the whole thing, and were able to use your pictures as inspiration! I was a little overwhelmed at first, but now am so excited I’m going to get what I really want!

    Thanks so much for sharing your renovation pictures. My husband is using them as he plans and they have been enormously helpful! (Every few days he asks, “can you pull up those porch pictures again”?)

    It’s going to take a bit longer than yours did since he’s doing all the work himself, but I’ll have to send you some pictures when it’s completed – hopefully without snow in the background! ; )

    Hi Kath! Can you tell me what kind of screens you used? Nylon or aluminum? Black or silver? We are building ours and I’m trying to decide what will look better. Our windows are fairly low (about 24″ off the floor) so I think metal is safest with a toddler, but not sure what color to use.

      I’m actually not sure – our contractor bought them. They are probably run of the mill screens – nothing special. And to be honest they are wearing out a bit.

    Hi Kath! We have an existing screen porch that needs a good update. In addition to lots of paint and stain, we will be replacing the screens and railings. I have been looking at many ways to hang the new screens; wooden slats, Screen-tight system, etc. How did the contractor install your screens? I really love the clean look.

      Thanks! I’m not exactly sure, but I believe they were stapled to the wood and then the staples were hidden by small wood trim

    Hi! We are renovating our existing screened porch to have sliding corner doors and I came across this beautiful porch. I know this is an old post, but I’m hoping you can help me with something. I’m trying to figure out weather stripping for our doors. It looks like you used sliding barn door hardware but hung it where the slides are on the inside. What did you use to keep the bugs out when it’s closed?

    Thanks!

      Hi!! They just hung and it was not 100% bug proof. We never had much of a bug problem though!

    Hi Kath! We are in the planning stage for a new screened in back porch. When discussing doors, I thought How about barn doors? The only thing was we didn’t want solid doors, because we don’t want to block our gorgeous sunset views. I did a Pinterest search and found your post! Thank you!!

      Hi!! Barn doors are the best! Only downside is less bug-proof on the bottom, but I never had a bad mosquito problem on that porch.

    Hello!

    Love your porch and absolutely love love love the screened barn doors. We are re doing our deck and adding a screened porch. I am talking to my husband about adding screened barn doors and we are running into a few challenges: size of doors (including inside width) where to find the metal piece you used on bottom of door in order to add the wheels (which wheels) etc. Would be so thankful if you could provide some more details and guidance. With all this craziness going on in this world, this project has really helped us get through it and it’s finally almost done!

    Thanks in advance for your help and for taking the time to share!

      Hi Nathalia,

      I unfortunately don’t own the house anymore, so I can’t go measure the doors! My contractor bought the wheels and track, so I don’t have that answer for you either. So sorry!

    It turned out absolutely awesome! We are going to be screening in our back covered porch and putting screen underneath is an inexpensive way to keep out critters with no need to re-do your flooring. I’m wondering on your barn door screens how do you keep bugs, etc. out? Did you install some sort of weather strip? I love the idea of a barn door instead of a swinging door but I don’t want bugs or rodents to be able to make it in!

      We didn’t have any weather stripping there due to the hardware, so technically bugs could get it. I never saw anything big, and occasionally a rare mosquito crept in, but the gap was small enough most of them stayed out!

    I love your porch. Is there any seal around the sliding barn doors? I was getting ready to a install barn sliding door on our screened porch and was wondering about the seal. Thank you for your time and advice.

      We had a seal but it wasn’t all the way to the floor that it dragged. We maybe had 1-2 mosquitoes in peak seasons but otherwise no real problems!

      I am honestly not sure – our builder picked them out.

    Beautiful. Are the windows screened or glass. And where did you find the doors. Thanks

      The windows are screened. Where we got the doors is a frequently asked question but I don’t have the answer unfortunately. Our contractor chose them.
