"Porches and Sunrooms is the perfect reference tool for homeowners who are considering adding or renovating a porch, sunroom, or conservatory. Topics include planning and designing the "outdoor room" to bridge the indoors and outdoors, basic information on the room's structure, and details on what a homeowner should know to add it to the house. Readers will see real-life examples in hundreds of beautiful, full-color photographs, discovering what a difference a porch can make to the outside of their home, or a sunroom to their indoor lifestyle.
