Yesterday, on Remodelista we posted on the interiors of Ellis House, a historic guesthouse in Kyneton, Australia. Today, we're dissecting the outdoor style of the house's wraparound porch and original 19th-century summer house. To recreate the look, we've sourced a few elements similar to those chosen by designer and creative director Tracie Ellis.

Above: Ikea's new Älmsta Chair is made from lacquered rattan with a bamboo back for $99.99. N.B.: The chair is meant for indoor use, but at this price point, it might be worth the risk on a covered porch.
