Nothing radiates nostalgia quite like a porch swing. Though simple in their design, they're powerful in the emotions they provoke, not least because they're so associated with traditonal family homes and, therefore, childhood memories. In my case, however, when I look at a porch swing, I think of all the celebrities who love this feature, the latest being Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.
Though the couple famously resides on the Upper East Side, they have a winter home in Telluride, Colorado – the perfect setting for their traditonal porch swing. Painted red, to complement their home's wooden tones, it has a warming, nostalgic feel that looks just as good in December as it does in mid-summer.
