3. Go for the gloss. Glossy finishes on the ceiling and chairs reflect light and modernize this rustic outdoor eating area.

Mix and match furniture just like you would indoors. Matchy-matchy outdoor dining sets are no longer required; today there are many options for furniture that can stand up to the elements. Furthermore, a porch roof provides ample protection for most of the year, as long as golf-ball-size hail isn't coming in sideways.

This porch is also a great spot for dining al fresco; here's a closer look at the dining table area. The utility sink is a brilliant idea, and the wood ceiling lends an unexpected polished note to the rustic setting.

Celebrate the porch. The farmhouse porch is wide and uncluttered. Go without a railing so the space is undefined and the whole porch will be used. The windows are low to extend the indoor living areas. Lighting is primitive, such as lanterns or goosenecks. Hunt around for ceiling fans with a utilitarian feel to be hung from flat wood ceilings or exposed rafters.

Instead of having an indoor dining room, which would have shrunk the kitchen, the homeowners put their dining room on the porch. Cedar planks make up the porch flooring. Rauser chose not to treat the wood, because he wanted it to be a living element that changes over time, displaying scratches and discoloration to give it an older, worn look. The ceiling is actually superglossy pine flooring.Chairs: Design Within Reach

So much room for grandkids to play, do crafts, just be outside yet close to where I can keep an eye on them and they aren't complaining about sunscreen I constantly put on them . Love it!

I love the idea of a stainless steel sink (perhaps not this large) out on the porch. Great for washing hands before coming into the house!

Similar to Monroe Table. High Gloss if doing wood helps modernize the space.
