Mark and Cindy Richert Kern Island neighborhood Built by Backyard Creations Mark and Cindy Richert spend time on their porch relaxing, reading and talking with neighbors. “We wanted our porch to be a warm and inviting place and a place where walking neighbors could stop and talk comfortably,” Mark said. “It is the perfect vantage point to watch neighborhood life.” Their porch encompasses a Southern country look with
its spindle railing surrounded with a boxwood hedge, hydrangea and lilies. The sitting area of the porch provides a pair of wicker chairs and table to unwind. “The open porch was necessary to complete the welcome and comfortable feeling of our home,” he said.
