Someone help me decorate my front porch!!!

13 years ago

We recently had some major foundation work done, and in the process lost our front patio. We opted for this porch as a replacement. It's nearly 500 square feet, and I'm not sure how to fill it. We plan on surrounding the porch with built-up landscaping, but my ideas end three. Please help!!!

Two comfortable chairs with cushion and a table in between for morning coffee - or evening happy hour - or both. A bench with cushion and coffee table for an afternoon reading session. Flower pots or potted plants for color and contrast. Any interest in a chiminea for cool evenings?

How did you use your patio? Want to repeat any of those uses? What did you wish the patio did that you can now do here? Is there shade? Privacy? Adding either of those?
