What comes around ...
MANY older houses have sleeping porches, or areas that used to be sleeping porches but were later closed in. It's what people did on those really hot nights before air conditioning. (They generally had screens though - that's the one thing I would fault with the setup pictured.) We had air when I was kid, but rarely used it. We slept on the back deck if rain wasn't called for.

I just looked at this again, and I really love your use of red & white. You have a good eye for color.

Visited the home of a local artist recently and found her in her "summer studio." She had built this 20 feet square screen house on top of an out building. The peak of the roof soared to about15 feet. It was back in the woods, felt for all the world as though there were neither walls nor ceiling. And besides her art stuff, there was a king bed you just knew she stayed out there for days on end.

Very Nice sleeping porch. I have a big porch also but we do not have rails. Great idea.

Thanks everyone for your comments. From the first post I put on here, we've slept outside every night, except twice. I was just too hot, so went back inside to the air-conditioning. Nights are getting a bit cooler now, so we've thrown a couple extra blankets on the bed. We've not had any rain at all at night and still no bugs ... at all ... except for one mosquito last night that woke me up. Well, he's dead now!
FYI, if at all possible, and you have somewhere you can do this, this is really a wonderful alternative for sleeping under the stars! I put a brace on one of the posts and hang the television from the camper on it and use an antenna rather than stringing the cable from the house. Works OK for the major networks. FYI, we picked up a rocking chair for the porch also.

Some old houses in the south had a sleeping porch, and the beds all where against the wall of the screened porch.
Come summer and the heat, the bed was pushed trough the wall and presto you now have the bed on the porch side. The head board was the porch wall.
My grandmother's house was built with very high ceilings and porches that where all arround the house. We would push the beds out and sleep on the porch, with the little breeze that there was for cooling.
There where ceiling fans on all rooms and sleeping porch, powered by a single electric motor, and a series of leather belts and wheels.
Miss the cookies and cold glass of lemonade.
