There's nothing better than summer porch sitting and, if you can relax in the shade without making the house too dark, all the better. For that perfect combination of taming the rays and letting in the light--not to mention, loads of charm--nothing beats a pergola with a few well-placed vines.

This compilation is especially for our friend Courtney, who is contemplating making a pergola part of her Texas renovation. We hope these give you the inspiration you're looking for!

Everything about this design is amazing, but we especially love the beautiful garden seats. |

This garden is so amazing. I never can figure out how something can look so well planned yet unfussy at the same time!

Wow, if it wasn't 100 here, we could enjoy a porch.
These porches are beautiful, and the Bob Villa is my favorite, although I love them all. I can't wait for a cool night to sit outside! 70 and no humidity would be great.
Have a great weekend, ladies.

Beautiful images that got me in the mood for summer.
The weather is hot here now and your first picture would be the perfect place to be. Instead, I'll have to make do with a parasol.

Oh I adore the first porch, especially the topiary surrounding it! We are in the process of creating a terrace at the back of the house and these are such wonderful inspiration!
ooohhh i could enjoy reading on the 3rd porch seems heavenly and secluded, miond you i would nt trun down the others enjoy the weekend fay x
Never met a pergola I didnt' love. LOVE them...they are so beautiful, practical and are obvious places to grow all kinds of beautiful flowering plants. They make wonderful entertaining spaces and I love each and every image you chose above. My personal fave would have to be that lake house by Diane Shae.....does that not look like the most relaxing setting imaginable? How beautiful.....love this concept and to me, if someone has a place to put one, it should absolutley be done!! I hope I can eventually put one somewhere in the new house!
stunning decks and pergolas...my all time favorite architectural element...and love the vines growing up the posts..gotta have that.. :)

Beautiful porches and pergolas! And having a fireplace outside as in the last pic is really unusual, isn't it?
Hope you are both having a wonderful weekend!
I will be on my front porch this weekend!
It was the reason we bought this house!
Porches are divine!

There's nothing better than a beautiful porch to sit on in gorgeous weather. We finally have a sunny day here in Seattle and I'll be out back scrubbing down my teak furniture so I can enjoy it! xo
Absolutely nothing I would rather do than sit on the porch and these are some fabulous ones. Have a great weekend. Mona
Summer porches on display - am sitting on a porch as I write - what a delightful way to marry virtual and real life;-)
Love that grey arched garden pergola. Your friend will HAVE to add one now!

These are beautiful outdoor spaces. Anyone would work for me. :-)
Beautiful inspiration!! Oh how amazing would it be to have such a space, it's so enjoyable. I would sit there all day I think;)

There is something so special about spending time outdoors...with just the right amount of shade and amiance. All of these spaces beckon you to come, sit and relax.
Hope you had a chance to do just that this weekend!

Big sigh, loving all these outdoor spaces and we’ve more then enjoyed ours all weekend. Funny but I looked at mister man this afternoon and made the remark that we have this great big old house and come summer we’re out on the porch morning, noon and night. I love that great outdoor place on the water so beautiful. Wonderful post and I hope you got to enjoy your porch this weekend as well.
so gorgeous locals :)

Such beautiful outdoor spaces. We would love to spend time in any of these.
I don't have a porch at this home, but we had on our old house and I miss it so much. I think it's the perfect place to spend summer nights.
Wishing you a very blessed week!

Summer is here! Porch time....
I love the photo #6. Dreamy.
I have always wanted a pergola or trellised garden like the ones you have shown.
Those first two shots take the cake. SO so beautiful!!
These gardens are so amazing! Our garden is starting to take shape and hopefully it will look like these soon. Love it!

Wow these are amazing! So gorg
Wonderful! I love my wrap around porch…it was one of the mail reasons I bought my home.
Thanks!

There are some lovely examples here... perfect for Summer living, isn't it? I like how adaptable these spaces may be... one day, perfect for breakfast, the next, an evening soiree, the next, a bridal shower... I look upon our courtyard with a smile, always, for the beautiful memories that have taken place there... thanks for the inspiration :)
Oh my, I would love to be in any of these gorgeous spots right now...
