Porch Ideas

Post by Midnight Reiter Too »

I have a 7' x 9' porch, a 4' white bench with church window arches on the back and a slate blue 30" x 40" wood table. The table has short legs. The bench is aluminum. The door is at the center of the porch. How would you decorate?

Interesting project to think about on a snowy day...

Photo of bench and table would be nice-- is that possible?

What exposure is the porch... sun or shade?

What color(s) is/are your house? Any trim or shutter colors to pick-up? Any brick or stone?

How about a deeper shade of gray or even a coal black for the door to accent this would help. I love the ideas that John stated, yes to a bench or table and chairs.

Well, I lost track of this thread and just found it again! Sorry. :oops: Our front door faces east.
