Porch with lamps, sconces, curtains, and a mirror

Hooked on Houses is hosting her "Hooked on Fridays" blog party; I hope y'all will click here and have look. Today, I'm hooked on this porch, never seen one like it. P.S. to Atlantans: Hope to see you at the Castleberry Hill Art Stroll this Friday, August 28.

It's on a shady corner lot in one of the most charming neighborhoods in Decatur, Georgia. Your Architecture Tourist host drives by once a week. Now it's for sale; click here for the listing. The porch is cool but it's in keeping with the rest of the house. There is a private patio out back.

They keep the lamps on. Nice weathered awning. Perfect corner column. No climbing to the front door, just a couple of steps.

My favorite kind of lawn: No grass. It's too shady anyway.
