My Indiana Home/ Rustic Back Porch

This inside wall in the back porch actually used to be the outside of the house many years ago. Our neighbor down the road grew up in this home. He told us a screened in back porch existed before this back porch/mudroom was built.

Anyway, since we still have the window, I thought it would be nice to put a bench under it. The rod is actually used for hanging clothes to dry at times (because there's absolutely no space in the laundry room off to the side, and for hanging outdoor plants in the winter-time - but it's been "cleverly disguised" with the red checked valances I just happened to find at Walmart that match my curtains. :)
