SOUTHERN STYLE SLEEPING PORCH: ORC 2017 SPRING REVEAL

SOUTHERN STYLE SLEEPING PORCH: ORC 2017 SPRING REVEAL

SOUTHERN STYLE SLEEPING PORCH: ORC 2017 SPRING REVEAL We made it after 6 long weeks we made through our first One Room Challenge!

We are here the SOUTHERN STYLE SLEEPING PORCH ORC 2017 SPRING REVEAL!  Oh my gosh I didn’t think we would ever get here! If  you are following along on, (Spring 2017 One Room Challenge) this is where you  check at all the talented guest participants for the 2017 ORC hosted by House Beautiful and LindaWeinstein@Calling It Home.

WEEKLY RECAP:

Week 1      Week 2      Week 3     Week 4     Week 5   Week 6

   THE BEFORE:

Here is where our outdoor room started off before we do the big reveal. A simple screened porch, furnished with your basic outdoor furniture. Yes it was nice, but I have always dreamed of a southern style sleeping porch.

A view like this deserved so much more….

  The Inspiration Board:So without any further ado I present the Final Reveal of our Southern Style Sleeping Porch by JENRON DESIGNS.

My husband Ron built this lovely pallet bed for me, from scratch out or reclaimed wood pallets. It holds a full size mattress perfect for lounging around and light afternoon cat napping. If you just love the way it turned out and must have one of your own please check out the FREE Blueprints in the link located in Week 3 .

As you can see I was able implement our sea glass color story from the inspiration board. I love how this color invokes relaxation and  a coastal vibe even here in the middle of the North Georgia Mountains. I was even able to locate and order the fun pillow cases as seen on the board as well. Just to keep things light and cheeky.

Don’t forget the pretty Haint Blue Ceiling from Week 3. It really lightens and brightens the space, even more so than the original white ceiling. It adds to the serine feeling and carries the outside sky in. We have created many cozy nooks and corners to soften the space and create a  cozy feeling almost like  being inside a genie bottle. Pillows and periodicals everywhere, all with in arms reach, without ever having to get up, so we can just relax and feel the breeze .

I always love to add found pieces or one of a kind art pieces to make a statement to any room. We added in this natural driftwood complements of our dear friends that are located on Lake Hartwell, thanks Marci and Nancy it really is beautiful and the perfect piece! We got this beautiful Wall Mounted Votive Holder from Pottery Barn for ambient light at night. It really is spectacular when you light all the candles up and the reflect in the mirror adding yet an another natural element to the space of fire. You can check out all the details for this room and others at the Shop My Style page at the bottom of this post.

I think the number one question I am always asked about this space, is why we did not install a swing bed? Well that answer is so simple we get so much wind here in the foothills of the North Georgia Mountain. Somedays they can rival the Santa Ana winds in California, it is really pretty crazy. For that reason we never even considered putting anything that would be suspended  from the ceiling with any weight on our home, since it would just crash into it during these wind storms. Plus this is right off of our master bedroom, so who would want to wake up to that racket during a nigh time storm? While I love the look of swing beds the practically for our home is just not there, you need to live in a calm no windy valley area for them not to do damage to the beds or your home.

Finally here is the Rug, the bane of my existence! Well, what do think?Honestly, it was not my first choice, as listed on inspiration board since Wayfair was backordered until July. (Funny story it was actually a feature rug in this months Good Housekeeping, nope, sorry out of stock my friends you will not be getting it) This rug was really not even my second choice, which was from Overstock, it ended up being too tropical and was almost a zebra print, for real. I actually found this rug at Ross, of all places. I would have never thought to look there, but I was desperate, looking everywhere to find anything that worked with my color story. It was only $20 and I figured it would be fine as a placeholder until July, but now it’s kind of growing on me.

Another bonus is that the kitties really seem to be enjoying the new outdoor space. So much that it is hard to find a place on the bed some days, with five of them it always seems to be “occupido” on regular basis. The good news is that it joins all ages groups from 18-3 together in the sacred unity of the great outdoors and they coexist in harmony while they are out there.

THE MYSTERY ANTIQUE ITEM REVEAL 

For the last few weeks I have been hinting about  the “mystery antique item” that I have been working on restoring. I know my Instagram subscribers got a  preview in my stories of the item in its original state, but look at it now! WOW what a transformation! Amazing what a little milk paint, barn wood, and some corrugated metal can do. This was an item that our friend, Alexis, was getting rid of, and it was headed straight to the curb. Thank you Alexis it turned out great!

For those of you that missed out on my Instagram story here is the original before pictures just so you can get the full scope of what we were working with, lol.  It had a faux brick back and laminate facade. Not to mention all that red velvet, which was not in our color story for this project at all. We used a custom color mix of Amy Howard, Dot Dot Dot A36-5 from Ace Hardware.Yes it’s a Quagmire style bar you would expect to be in Elvis’s Graceland suite. It has a working 8 track and record player behind the facade of the fireplace. Oh yes my friends this antique was to good to pass up, it’s literally like a working time capsule from around 1962.

Even though I probably won’t use it very much we redid the inside, mainly so we could keep this quirky blast from the past bar and music center. We have added a mp3 player in just to update our tunes, since my vinyl collection is quite limited, hahaha. Besides who would keep vinyl in an unconditioned space, eek that is just asking for trouble.

The bar is actually revolving and has working lights…..hehehehe it is so funny, it’s cute. You can see both the front and back sides in theses pictures. 

MY DREAMY NIGHT VIEW

Time to turn in? Well after all it is a sleeping porch, so what good would this article be without the night time photos? As you can see the ambient lightning turned out amazing!!! We actually ran the fireplace and under the bed lights to a bluetooth switch, that we located in the bedroom, next to the door. Now we can just flip on the lights as we head out the door, no hassle with plugging in cords etc.

Tip: The under the bed lights are simple leftover icicle lights from the holidays. I figured we used them last year and our theme this year will not be same so might as well gets me used out of them else where. So these fun candy colored lights are stuffed into the pallets and unless you are belly crawling on my floor or take a picture like I am you have not idea that they are Christmas lights.

We have decided that we will be putting in a permanent wall switched fireplace in the near future, but for now to complete the One Room Challenge we were able to fix up this fun little antique and make it something useful. Plus we will probably just relocate it to our basement as we finish it out, lots more projects on the horizon this year!

    Looks fabulous!

  2. Thanks Day it was a project I am so glad to have done!!! I have always wanted a sleeping porch. This one is just so dreamy with the lights and fireplace.

  3. Girl, girl, girl! You rocked this room! I am at a loss for words on that 8-track wonder, record spinning, bar thingy. LOL! That is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m going to look for one of those for sure. Great, great job!

  4. Very pretty Jennifer! You are so lucky to have a sleeping porch and now it looks amazing. I hope you enjoyed your first One Room Challenge. You already seem like a pro!

  5. Tatina Smoltz

    This reveal is amazing I love the concept and execution. You have such a talent we would love for you to come take a look at our home.

  6. Thank you!!! It is a great piece of retro Americana history, as cheesy as it is I just had to save it and refinish. I am so glad you like and were able to check out post. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

  7. Thank you Jennifer, it was a learning challenge for sure, as a newbie. All of you guys have all been so supportive and great to work with. I am not sure what makes me happier the room being complete or the friends I have made along the way. Let me know if you end up doing a progressive dinner event again I would love to join you guys!!

  8. Thank you for stopping by the blog and your support.

  9. Thank you, he has some talent that man of mine 😉 In fact he actually enjoyed building it, #sidejob.

  10. I’d spend all night on that porch! And that bar/fireplace situation is so cool!

  11. I know I was so excited after the photo shoot that I spent that night out there. The weather was still cool, and with the ceiling fan on it was perfect. The bar is a very funny piece, we do plan to put a real direct vent fireplace in soon, but for now it works 😉

  12. Oh my gosh, are you serious???? How funny is that, do you have any history on it? I would love to know more about mine. Well if it looked like the original piece I can understand how it is not your favorite, but the Amy Howard paint made it a simple refinish. No sanding, no stripping just 2 coats and it was done. I even used it on the felt on the bar part, it worked gloriously. Thanks for dropping hope see you again soon!!!

  13. Nori Blagg

    Oh it’s fabulous, love it!

  14. Angela Hoyos

    Beautiful space! And oh my goodness we have that exact same bar. I hate it soooo much but my husband loves it. Maybe there is hope for it yet..

  15. Ooh that looks so cozy!!! I’d sleep there in a heartbeat!

  16. What a great up-do on that bar! So fun!

  17. Thanks Nori 🙂 you guys will have to drop by and see it in person soon!!!

  18. Thank You Lidia!!! I have coveted a sleeping porch since I was a little girl. I have always wanted to sleep under the stars, but away from the things that live on the ground….LOL

  19. Thank you, it was totally not part of the original ORC plan. It was improvising with something we found out on the curb, and could not pass up…LOL

  20. That bar…Amazing makeover!!!! This is such a great space. I absolutely love your wall mounted votives. I would light those up and spend the entire evening out there!

  21. Oh my! That bar is so cool! It’s a great time to start collecting vinyl! 😉 Such a dreamy space! You did a great job! I hope that you get lots of time to enjoy it!

  22. Thank you Jessica. I agree, and I do love that votive mirror it creates a ton of light since it reflects double the amount of candle, and unexpected plus!!!

  23. Thanks Emy I hope so too!!! Your space turned out amazing as well. 🙂

  24. Mandy

    Your home blog is a very valuable resource for me. I am finding a lot of great weekend project ideas!! Thanks

  27. Thank You Kelley!!! You know how I love a good use for Christmas lights 😉 Your guest room turned out divine, so glad I was able to participate in the ORC with you guys!!!!

  28. Thank you Erin, I have been spending some down time out there as I devise the next big project’s plan 😉

  29. NY-Niki

    This is such great project to bring both, yours and Ronnie’s talents together.
    Now “Team Gainer” can put on some Sly & the Family Stone,”Hot Fun In The Summertime”, a cold drink in your hand and welcome the summer season.
    Well done y’all!

  30. Somehow I knew you would be able to envision the “southern sleeping porch vibe” even if your all the up in NY. Girl…. I miss you, come home Mitzy Tarbubbles!!!! Love, Muffy Cloverchains

  31. Cody Greig

    You write awesome posts, but you should rank your website higher in search engines. Let’s make you site the next big thing!!!

  32. Amy @ Her Faith

    This is one of the most amazing things I have seen. You are so innovative and creative, I wish I had half you creativity. I would never have though to put a bed outside….talk about glamping. You go girl I love everything you do, keep up the good work!

  33. Thank you so much 🙂 I was really excited to make a sleeping porch, since I have always wanted one, since I as little. You are so right about the glamping, hahaha that is so me. Take care and thanks for stopping in the check my blog 🙂

  34. Daisy Lover

    I was so excited to find your article about a southern style sleeping porch. It is a old southern tradition you don’t see much anymore, I hope your post will revive it. I love that your decide to keep the haint blue ceiling too, another southern tradition. Great post love your style.

  35. I saw your post at the ORC have you heard anything back from House Beautiful? They should be making a decision soon!!! I love your creative idea of doing a sleeping porch, it very retro and cool. I bet you spend a ton of time out there, I know I would.

  36. barbara 49

    Wow this is a amazing space in your home! You should be so proud of your accomplishments, in 6 weeks that really is a challenge. Do you actually sleep out there? Just wondering, because I would 🙂

  37. Barbara, first of all, thanks for following we appreciate your support 🙂
    Yes, we have actually slept out on the porch and it is divine. There is nothing better, and it makes all the hard work worth it. We have lots of fun things on the calendar so make sure to stop by regularly or you can sign up for our monthly newsletter 🙂

  38. Rainy Muller

    This is such a great idea. I have never seen a outdoor, sleeping porch before. Do you actually sleep out there? Seem like a fun idea to me, like camping but better. Fun Fireplace refinish too, I love that old retro stuff.

  39. Hi Rainy yes we have actually slept out there, and it is quite peaceful. We have a private wooded lot with tons of trees and view of a small fishing lake, so the frogs and fireflies alone make it magical. 🙂

  40. I am obsessed with your sleeping porch. I hope you win the designer challenge, based on creativity alone. #housebeautiful #callingithome

  41. Chrissy Gates

    Just lovely, your ORC project turned out amazing! You can count on my vote.

  42. Janice Bedgood

    I love your sleeping porch. I would spend all my time out there. I especially love the DIY makeover on the fireplace, that is truly a inspirational refurbished project.

  43. Want Some Tea Darlin'?

    I absolutely love this! You have spoken to my deep southern roots, and revived a part of me forgotten. My grandmama had a sleeping porch back in the day… which is where us kids would spend the night and tell moist stories. Too bad we did not have that haint blue ceiling to keep the boohoos away!!!!!! Love your style xoxoxo

  44. Mandi Davidson

    Wow, wow, and wow!! What else can I say? This is beautiful and an amazing idea for a screen porch. You got mad skills girl! Keep up the good work!

  45. Life with Kate

    This is such a great idea, I think I will integrate and sleeping porch into our new home. I have been searching inspiration ideas on Pinterest when I cam across your pin. I am so glad I did!!!

  46. Kristen Collins

    I adore this outdoor space. I would spend days upon days out there, where it is quite and peaceful. You did such a nice job pulling the design together. I love the colors in that quilt. The blue ceiling is pretty too.

  47. Suzy Q

    I love your porch! It is beautiful! I would totally sleep out there, but here in Canada we only have a few good months in the summer, which is a total bummer.

  48. Pippa’s Parade

    Aw, this was a really nice post. I wish all bloggers put this much thought into writing like this, most of them are all trying to sell you something. You are just offering ideas and concepts for design not buy my sofa and lamps. Thank you for being you.

  49. Rain

    I love your porch and how it turned out so beautiful. A sleeping porch is not anything I have ever heard of, but we live the a colder Canadian climate, so we do not have much call to sleep outside, ha ha ha. Still your outdoor room is gorgeous, great job.

  50. Moi Moi

    Just popping around your site. must say I really love this area and the idea of an outdoor sleeping space. you must have mild weather in order to do this.

  51. Juliet Mason

    I really like this design idea a lot. I would assume sleeping porches have been around for a while, but not much attention has been focused on them until I saw your post on the ORC. You are setting the trend now.

  52. The Busy Bee

    I really love this idea, especially with fall on the way. It looks like the perfect spot for reading your blog, or in my case, grading papers with a glass of chard 🙂 Are you doing the fall ORC challenge this year? I can not wait to see what you do next. You have such a innovated blog, I am hooked for life. Keep up the good work A+.

  53. Sounds like a fantastic plan to me. 🙂
    Yes, I am very hopeful to be participant this fall in the ORC. If I make the cut it would be my second time on the very go round. So, I might have a better idea on project scope, especially with the holidays looming near. If not I will aim for the spring ORC since the schedule is not as full that time of year, with me luck!!

  54. Ann Weaver

    This is a message to the SOUTHERN STYLE SLEEPING PORCH: ORC 2017 SPRING REVEAL | JENRON DESIGNS | admin. Your website is phenomenal. Great ideas, innovative posts, and design concepts that challenge the reader to do better in their own lives. You have a good thing going and we here at P&R are ready to follow your asscention to greatness.

  55. There is definately a great deal to know about this topic in design, a sleeping porch in rather uncommon. I really like all of the choices you have made and the finished project. I work with a mattress topper company let me know if you would be interesting in a sponsored post.

  56. Sounds great send me the information and I will take a look at it 🙂

  57. Lelio Vieira Carneiro

    Simply desire to say your article is as astounding. The clearness for your submit content is just spectacular. I could guess you are a professional on this subjecting design.

  58. Debbie Does DIY

    Now I want one too!!! Especially with fall right around the corner, love it !!!

  59. Marla Hanson

    Oh wow this is a great idea. However did you come up with it? I have never seen a sleeping porch before. Great job.

  60. Brit Stancil

    I am so doing this to my screen porch for the fall. What a great idea, you are a brilliant designer.

  61. Southern Sassyfrass

    This is such a old southern tradition and I am so glad you are reviving it. Somehow we have lost so many of the good southern traditions, as we move forward into a “vanilla society”. Sweet tea- bad for you too much sugar, grits- all carbs they will make you fat, fried chicken- bad for your cholesterol. Thank God for mason jars, rocking chairs and sleeping porches, southern traditions that won’t kill you. LOL

  62. Sally McPhee

    OMG I found the pallet bed and the plans…thank you for posting. I was so excited I read all 6 parts in a row. Ha ha ha so much for cleaning the house today :p

  63. Ann Weaver

  68. Stacia Rogers

    Hi, I do think this is an excellent web site, and I stumbledupon it 😉 I will return again since I have bookmarked it. Question, is the ORC a yearly contest, and if so will you be doing it again? It is the first time I have ever heard of it, but it is backed by some very well known and large sponsors so it’s completely legit.

  69. Jenny Barney

    Wow this is a great spot you added to your home. I also really like your blog layout the design very easy to navigate, and it is very eye appealing.

  72. Helen Chik

    You definitely know how to decorate a space and make it feel so important. More people need to your stuff and implement. I cant believe you’re not more popular because you definitely have the designer gift.

  73. This space is UNBELIEVABLE!!! There is so much to love about it! The colour palette is gorgeous, love the curtains, it must be so cozy to sleep out there. It’s so calm and serene. Well done!!!

  74. Kelly Goodwin

    Thank you a lot for giving everyone an extraordinarily splendid possibilities from this website. It is stuffed with a good time reading material for me. This project is one of my favorites as it remakes a old tradition into new fresh idea of R&R spaces.

  77. Addison Wheeler

    Can I just say what a relief to find someone who truly is aware of current design trends. More folks need to read this and understand this blog. I can’t understand why you’re not more widespread since you undoubtedly have the design gift.

  78. Kendall | Is it nap time yet?

  82. yellow posties

    very good publish, i certainly love this website, carry on it

  83. Katie Moore

    You’re porch is just dazzling, I love that you actually sleep out there. This is a very old southern way of life, when things were simpler. Thank you for bringing some of those traditions back to life.

  84. Liza Munford

    This actually answered my problem, thanks!

  85. yellow posties

    Now i’m grateful for the work you put into your blog, and I even believe you should be aware of what an amazing job you doing via your web blog. This porch is fantastic, great colors and nice rustic furnishings. The idea to have a porch you can nap on or have reading time and tea is such a great idea.

  86. pajama mama

    Now this is a great outdoor space. I love that you actually sleep outside. How many months can you do that where you are located? Here is Vermont we are limited to 3-4 months of decent weather, but the fall and winter are still beautiful!

  87. First of all I love your screen name! To answer your question I am located in foothills of the north GA mountains. This year we have had a few cold snaps already which is right on track for a cooler winter. Last we had a very mild winter so we could have used the porch more. Normally April-June September-October are pretty decent months to sleep out there. Since we are in the deep south July and August tend to be to hot for me to be out there all night I require A/C, LOL.

  88. 42 herber

    You made some great design choices there. I respect that you created a old fashioned sleeping porch, not many people do this anymore, it’s a forgot trend from our old souther heritage.

  89. zuowi

    I and my pals happened to be reading through the excellent guides found on the blog then quickly I had a terrible feeling I had not expressed respect to you for those tips. The guys were definitely consequently joyful to read all of them and already have very much been using those things. Appreciation for indeed being so accommodating and for considering varieties of essential subject areas millions of individuals are really eager to be informed on. My personal honest regret for not expressing gratitude to earlier.

  98. Jewel Carter

    I decided in addition to my other reading that I would check out last Springs reveal for the ORC too. I love the idea of a sleeping porch and can not wait to see what you decide to do this spring, of course the way my scheduled works I will read about it next year….LOL I guess I need to bookmark you and check back more often.

  99. Yanitza

    I am so impressed, I must say. A sleeping porch is a colossally great idea. More people should have these on there homes. I just watched fixer upper last night and they showed a dining room in the front porch of a older home which was great! This has that same kind of feel, a outdoor room you will use all the time.

  100. Ashley Meaurs

    I simply wanted to post a small comment to appreciate you for these remarkable designer tricks you are writing here. Thanks once again for all the details.

  101. April Helmsworth

    I guess you can tell I am ready fro spring the winter is getting rough this year and I am longing for sunnier days. This sleeping porch takes me to a perfect little reading nook and you vivid wording has totally given me spring fever. Great job on creating this beautiful outdoor room, I hope spring gets here soon so you can enjoy it too.

  102. The Wooly Farmhouse

    I felt so joyful while looking at this post what a perfect little spot you have designed on you home. I know it would be my hiding spot in the summer months for sure, glass of wine, soft music and a good book. Crank that fan up and max and relax.

  103. Urban Farmgirl

    Wow I love this idea. All the illustrations you made, the easy blog navigation, it is so impressive, and it’s making our imaginations run wild. Thank you for the whole kit and caboodle!

  104. Terry Haide

    I needed to send you a remark, to send thanks for the projects you have documented on this website. These concepts are great. They work well pertaining to this project. Can’t wait to refer individuals to read your site.

    I have always wanted a a sleeping porch, my grandma lied in the mountains and used to have one. As kids we would spend summers there and I would fall asleep watching the fireflies listening to the crickets. Which sounds very similar to the area where your home is located too.
