Comments (0)We purchased our home 7 years ago and just yesterday removed all of the bushes. we want to add a front porch patio style but will likely keep the small porch roof in the picture. any suggestions?...See Morecan’t decide seating arrangements for front porch. Ideas please.
Comments (8)I live in a historic home so I have wicker and rockers on mine! Is it just for looks or will you sit out there?
