I know a few things that may appear odd like the feel things on the dots but birds fly into them if they are bare so another solution is on the works. The covered porch isn't very large so I need an idea as to what to do with it. The space is right out of my great room. The deck area is a good size the does off of the covered part I have 5 chairs in blue with pillows. looks nice but I think I am missing something. Of course everything is sparse since it is still Match but next month I will bring things back out. Any suggestions is appreciate. PS I love my built in bench. Thanks! I would like a nature/ coastal feel.
