<\/p>\nSo many of us in New Orleans understand the tradition and importance of the front porch. We grew up running back and forth from our own porch to our neighbors to show off our latest toys. Then we shared them with friends to sip sweet tea and watch the kids expel their last doses of energy before the streetlights buzzed.
\nThrough the years we\u2019ve all seen the various sky-blue tints covering porch ceilings. Whether or not we realized it growing up, each of these blues goes by the same term, haint blue. Here are a few favorites from our CertaPro Painters of New Orleans krewe.<\/p>\n
