Photos for context

How about pics from the street or in front of the house.

Those pics have no context no matter how many you post .I need to see how this space relates to the whole house .

A long bench with a couple plants would be nice. If you walk through there in the evening, some night lighting would be good. Since there is a lot of shade, you might want to do string lights on the rafters with the solar panel on top to catch the sun. A piece of art, fountain, or perhaps a light display in the corner where that half barrel is to accent the door there would be nice. If you are into plants, you could do railing planters with cascading and upright plantings in them.
