One of the most perfect porch additions we’ve seen; in the pristine Connecticut countryside, by NY firm Platt Dana. Partners Hope Dana (Columbia School of Architecture) and Kate Platt (University of Virginia School of Architecture) may have worked in some big New York firms (I.M Pei and Skidmore Owings), but they are brilliant on a domestic scale.

On a recent trip to Ikea in Emeryville, I spotted Ikea’s new Vadero outdoor furnishing series in oiled acacia wood by Jon Karlsson. With its simple lines and sturdy construction, the furniture line embodies Scandinavian style at a very affordable price. Vadero Bench in red or black, $79.99; Vadero Table is $59.99.
