The Sleeping Porch
July 20, 2011
![jean_maries_daybed_0 Bond Street Daybed: âCrisp and tailored, this is not your average daybed. I especially love the low, undulating curve, which invites âfloatingâ it in a space. It reads both masculine and feminine, with a touch of sophistication. Bonne nuit!â Donghia, Boston Design Center, (617) 574-9292, www.donghia.com](https://i0.wp.com/nehomemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/jean_maries_daybed_0.jpg?w=322&h=249&ssl=1)
![jean_maries_pillow Lattice Velvet Pillow from Dransfield & Ross: âRich and luxurious, this velvet pillow in celadon adds an elegant touch to what could otherwise be viewed as a less formal space. The soft interlocking pattern creates a sense of complete and utter peace in a sleeping porch sanctuary.â Through Jmac Interiors](https://i0.wp.com/nehomemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/jean_maries_pillow.jpg?w=250&h=249&ssl=1)
![jean_maries_shades Helix Fabric by Travers: âI love the bright and cheerful pattern of this Roman shade made with Helix printed linen fabric by Travers. The graphic pattern is a natural with the scallop design of the shade and effectively softens the window it adorns.â Zimmer & Rohde, Stamford, (203) 327-1400, www.zimmer-rohde.com](https://i0.wp.com/nehomemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/jean_maries_shades.jpg?w=187&h=249&ssl=1)

Itâs available in a variety of colors and custom finishes and, best of all, can be ordered with a fabulous washed raffia top.â Oomph, New Canaan, (203) 216-9848, www.oomphonline.com](https://i0.wp.com/nehomemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/jean_maries_table_1.jpg?w=249&h=249&crop=1&ssl=1)
We asked three Connecticut designers to dream up a sleeping porch.
PAMELA JIMENEZ
Inspired by her travels to more than fifty countries, Pamela Jimenez infuses her projects with a worldly flair and a passion for fine materials. According to the globetrotting designer, a beautiful sleeping porch “brings a rare note of accord and calm to a busy household.” Pamela Jimenez Design, Riverside, (203) 570-1444, www.pamelajimenezdesign.com
DONNA SEXTON and VICKI TAYLOR-BLOCH
Donna Sexton and Vicki Taylor-Bloch joined forces in 2004 to bring their fashion background to the interior design industry. “We hope our picks for a sleeping porch will inspire you to carve out a special space to relax and enjoy a warm evening breeze,” the designers say. At Home Design, Greenwich, (203) 253-4083, (203) 788-2177, www.athomedesignllc.com
JEAN MARIE MCLAUGHLIN
A graduate of the New York School of Interior Design, Jean Marie McLaughlin has spent the past ten years creating comfortable, richly detailed interiors.
