Help me with my front porch

I would like to do something with my porch. Eventually we will stone face it, but until then I want to do something to make it more appealing. I definitely want to add seating, but unsure of what I want to do (benches, rocking chairs, adironack, wicker, etc.)

All suggestions/ideas welcome (please post pictures too!!!)

Thanks

OK I know my idea would cost alot but your house would look awesome with a full porch (remove bushes and go across w/contiuned roof line.)
Might I ad your lawn is amazing, picture perfect!!!!!!

I totally agree!!! I guess when the houses were built you had that option because some of the houses in my development have the full porch and I love it. Definitely something to consider down the line!!!

Right now I just want low cost improvementsChat Icon

Thank you! Yes I took it today with my phone lol

No room for a swing, but probably one or 2 chairs.

Re: Help me with my front porch

I would probably put a rocking chair in the corner with a small pot with some colored flowers next to it. Or I would just put a really big planter filled with a bunch of summer flowers to add some color. Or maybe one of those small tables with 2 chairs and decorate the table, maybe put a large pitcher with flowers in it. Your house is beautiful!

Yup that would be my next option. Get some color going with really pretty planters, tall urns would be a good choice with wave peutinas. Some people like stone sculptures like lions or whatever your into, they could look cool to on either side of the door.
