7. The Farmhouse Porch
A luxury farmhouse without a porch is just a house. Mine wraps around two sides, with rocking chairs, flower boxes under the windows, and a rug of mossy carpet by the door. I hung lanterns from the beams and planted roses along the steps, so the whole entrance smells faintly of flowers. A small side table holds a pitcher and a book I never quite finish, and the rocking chairs face the fields on purpose. This is where I end most days — sitting on the porch, watching the sun go down over the fields, doing absolutely nothing.
