I absolutely love porches and am totally hooked on hanging beds!
Check out this inspiration and I hope to have a hanging bed of my own to show you someday.

I found this handmade bed from Bedzz Without Legzz. (Their link no longer works, so I guess they don’t make them anymore… too bad!)

Make your own hanging porch bed with instructions by Lowes.

Which one of these is your favorite? I’m all about the pink one, although this last porch looks so relaxing!
I have to say the first one is my absolute fav. I could lounge on that all day (first sending my kids away). Looks so inviting and relaxing!

I love the apartment therapy one! I used to have 2 porches in our old house. How I miss them! Our current home had a back porch but it was converted into an indoor room by the previous owners. Love having an extra room but nothing beats a porch! ~Tracy

I want one of these sooo badly. And a back porch to go with it!!

Those beds look so romantic.

Oh….I REALLY want one of these now! Just another thing to add to the wish list.

RT @livinglocurto Hanging Porch Beds! I want one of these… http://bit.ly/OalhD (me too!)
[Reply]
the first one…only bc the porch is UN-BE-LIEV-ABLE!
[Reply]
I like the first one the best. I’ve had my eye on the pottery barn one…just need to figure out where we could put it!
[Reply]
I’m with you, the last one looks great! But I also like the first one, reminds me of summer camp. (Not that I ever went to summer camp, much less a camp with porch beds!)

I love them all, but that red, white, and blue number is my fav! Thanks for the eye candy!

I am visiting from Julia’s Hooked on Party. Thanks for sharing!
I have always loved porch swings. I want a BIG front porch with a huge swing (maybe a bed swing) so that I can lounge and watch the street. Step 1 – sell house 1000+ miles away, Step 2 – find a house to buy with that kind of porch, Step 3 – Buy/set up swing. I think I have some work to do. lol
[Reply]
I so want one now, at least when we get our apartment!
[Reply]
Oh wow… I love all of them. I need one of these!!
[Reply]
I like them all. The pottery barn one is fave…. but would take any. I don’t have a large enough porch or covered space….Maybe I will ask for a portico and hanging bed for Christmas….. home made by hubby…
[Reply]
That first one is AMAZING!!! And those would really be so easy to build! Hmmmmm … my husband is going to be so mad at me, lol.

I love the Pottery Barn bed because of the red, white & blue pillows – I confess that is why I ripped that photo out of my catalog and pasted it into my inspiration journal.
Truly, I don’t care what color the bed is – I just love the idea of a hanging bed. I’ve never been comfortable in hammocks and porch swings have never felt spacious enough to stretch out on without being worried about rolling off. Hanging beds are the perfect solution!
I just need to convince my DH that we need one on the back patio.
[Reply]
How fun! I remember seeing a hanging porch bed in a magazine years ago and loved the idea!
My favorite is the second one.
[Reply]
I really like the first and third ones. Mostly because they look really sturdy. I love this hanging porch bed idea. I love it for my kids room!
[Reply]
I’m in love with the first picture (from Coastal Living). I always thought I wanted a porch swing but now I want one of these instead. Thanks for inspiring me.
[Reply]
I love the first one. The funny thing is that I have been wanting a porch swing forever and in fact today I was looking at Lowe’s magazine trying to imagine how I could get my husband to put one up in the back. He’s so cheap though. He thinks that $50 is too much to pay for a bench attached to chains and furthermore he thinks he can make his own for less (I doubt it). Problem is that he claims he can a new entertainment center, shelves, table, chairs, cabinets, and the list goes on. I’ll never get any new furniture at the rate he’s going.

Well, Amy, you’re my new “Ripley” (Sigourney Weaver’s role in “Alien”). Girl, to take on copperheads the way you do is awesome! We’ve had them in the basement, on the driveway, etc… and I didn’t get crazy with it til I had a child. And honestly, now that I’ve seen that he won’t try to pick one up and has respect for what it can do, I think I’m going to be better with it. But I’ve had two cats bitten by them (somehow, the venom isn’t as strong in them as it is in humans, but it still causes necrosis),and a friend’s child had a REALLY hard time after being bitten, so I’m very, very “respectful” (yes, you can read that as paranoid, fearful, and crazy). The neighbor who shot the one in the ivy isn’t real city-fied… he loves to hunt and has a pretty darn good twang. His gun just seemed to work better than the shovel and bowsaw that we tried at first. lol… now I know who to come to with copperhead advice! You rock!
[Reply]
No pink allowed here, so either the first, third, or last ones. And any of those would do! I’ve never seen them before… a porch bed looks like the perfect touch for our porch! Love it…
[Reply]
Um….Heaven on a rope. All of them!
[Reply]
I like the Pottery Barn one best. Must be the colors.
Visiting from Julia’s party.
