How Can I Keep Front Porch Rocking Chairs Clean?
Comments (1)You might try hosing them down in the morning. Painting might make them look cleaner, but when it comes to sitting on them they still have to be cleaned. I finally figured out fixing my deck up nicely was just adding another room which has to be cleaned. The only furniture I have on my deck now is one lounge with removable cushions. I keep the cushions just inside the patio door or in the deck box. When I hose down the deck I hose down the lounge frame.

Comments (1)Congratulations on your marriage and your new house. This forum unfortunately doesn't get much traffic. There are quite a few requests on the Home Decorating forum for assistance in improving curb appeal, so I think you should post there. Some of the folks there do a great job with photoshopping ideas. But before you do repost there, I think this info would be helpful: - Pictures of the front with the new raised beds - How far from the house is that tree in the front of the house? You need some planting on the right side between the windows. But what will depend on the tree....See Moreshould i add hanging pendant lights to front porch?

Comments (21)@Elaine Doremus Resumes Written Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately we were not able to find any images of the home from the past. I was hoping some folks on Houzz might be able to tell what style it originally was or at least give some good direction on how to we can restore it. For example I think the roof line may have originally gone straight back, instead of the second pitched section of the roof you can see on the left side. I apologize - I know I am not using the correct terminology! The home also has cheap vinyl replacement windows, so I would like to one day replace them. Maybe the anderson craftsman or farmhouse line? I wonder if we would change the scale of the windows at all......See Moreardweena
