Ranch Porch Addition

http://oneroomatatimeinc@yahoo.com

This midwestern ranch house was lackluster and in dire need of character, as well as a front porch space for the homeowners. The new porch addition and dormer bring your eye into the space. The house project included a whole house window replacement, a full bath remodel, new garage doors and front doors as well as the porch and sidewalk. The craftsman style details add just the right amount of character to the front elevation and the scale feels inviting.

Finish on pillars - Can you please tell me about the finish used on the wood portion of the pillars. How often will they need to be re-finished? What is the wood? Thanks! »

How have you updated your ranch home? Did you add plantings for a little height? Did you add a pathway, porch or portico? How did you inject drama into the facade of your ranch?

I love how much character this 'heavy' porch adds to a ranch. It's almost Craftsman style, which I adore. My porch, however, would have white pillars and trim, and a blue ceiling (I'm Southern; a blue porch ceiling is almost required!).
