From the back porch....

We have a dogtrot floorplan in our house. In other words, the front door goes straight through the hall to the back door. In the old days, this area would be an open porch for fresh air, and to keep the kitchen side safe from the living rooms.

I love our central hall. It calls me in from the back porch, and welcomes me in from the front door. And the air moves through it great when both doors are open.

Come in and visit and stay awhile.
