Do you have a picture showing more of the house?

@PPF.

Here are a couple more.

I would center the post on the windows and front door... however they come out.

Look at the big pictuure from the road/front of the house.

Think of how you will landscape the front yard.

will you be installing a railing? built in planters, etc.

something on either side of the door/steps?

as for the blank wall ...I'd find some interesting outdoor friendly art

... like a flush metal piece for example. lots of options, I'd search for front porch ideas.

I don't think the porch needs any more posts. If the existing posts were clad in boards so that they would appear sturdier and more substantial that would be enough.

@tracefloyd We are definitely planning to build these posts out.

@Lyn Nielson Thanks for all the good ideas! I have been searching front porch images which is one reason I asked this. Every porch pic I have seen has corner posts!

The posts are there to support the overhang? Then code is involved and there is nothing you can do about the placement. Not a builder...but a truss overhang would allow for no posts.
