They used to have a flat-roofed porch and they used the upstairs to hang out bedspreads and carpets and stuff to "air" them since cleaning them was not practical due to lack of equipement "back then." My house has one and most of the houses in my neighborhood have them.

They don't kick people out but I think if you were in there for like 2 hours they will get suspicious that you are doing something weird.

It's on Chicago and 43rd in an old house and it's only open 5 days a month. I'm not sure what they're next open weekend is (I drive by it daily so that's how I know if they're open!) but the link below includes a phone number. You may be able to find something 'perfect' for your porch! Happy Hunting!<br /><br />Katrina <br /><br />http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-cottage-house-minneapolisMike and Katrina @HAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597204212017991099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024778820738888976.post-60213192788258650012010-12-14T22:07:16.381-06:002010-12-14T22:07:16.381-06:00I love this post so much I worked in a link to it ...I love this post so much I worked in a link to it for our next blog post (Wed.)

If you make another trip in future seasons, I'd love to join you!<br /><br />It's funny to see all the pictures since I've done some similar things in our house and past rentals. The wall color in the room with the white Christmas tree is very similar to our new living room color. We have a sewing machine side table in our living room too! The top is wooden though, not glass. And although I used cookie cutters in my kitchen wreaths, I love the light fixture idea! Too bad we have a fan in the kitchen that wouldn't convert well. I've also used ice skates before in Christmas decor, although never as a planter.<br /><br />I've seen book trees like that at West Elm and another retail store (?) this season too and considered making one. But I love the books we own too much to possibly ruin the spines!<br /><br />I agree with you that the grate table and shutters are awesome ideas!<br /><br />The dining room chairs reminded me of yours (which I love) and make me wish for more modern chairs someday.<br /><br />Ok, I could comment even more since this is an awesome inspirational post! I'm so glad they let you take pictures! Thanks for posting.<br /><br />KatrinaMike and Katrina @HAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597204212017991099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024778820738888976.post-83597721423948188102010-12-12T12:14:38.443-06:002010-12-12T12:14:38.443-06:00You weren't kidding, inspiration galore!You weren't kidding, inspiration galore!Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/02441070110507014088noreply@blogger.com
