A Side Porch: Before and After

The side porch of my clients home is where most friends
come to visit.
(Before)
She wanted it warm and welcoming for visitors,
as well as a nice place
for the family to relax .(Before)
There is now no doubt that it is a place that welcomes guests.(After)
New chairs with ottomans and the window table call for you to sit and relax.
(After)
Even the birdhouse got a mini-makeover.(After)
The new porch light fixture is a beautiful addition. (Before)
(After)
Just look at the detail.Now the porch better reflects the beauty of the family and their lifestyle.

  2. Very pretty; I especially love the light fixture. I'm always amazed by how much a light can change a space.

    Wish I could find an outdoor safe chandelier in my price range for my front porch. I'm always on the lookout! Thanks for the inspiration!

  4. I looks so yummy Joy! I've always wished our home had a covered porch like that instead of a cement stoop. I'll bet she's loving her new place!

  7. That's so pretty. Now all you need is a nice mat in front of those chairs and it'll be perfect.

  8. Very nice! Are those the chairs that Big Lots has right now? I look at them every time I pop in there - I want to pick up a pair of the red ones for the upstairs deck at my vacation cabin...

  15. If I was your client you would get an extra gift. So smart to remove that enclosing metal railing. That alone changed it. A+++++ job.
