I might do two columns, both echoing the fluted door surround. Just butt one up against the house on the left so that there are two. It's a little weird but it might look less weird...? Not sure. I am dealing with a similar problem and may fix it by adding faux columns at the back of the porch to balance the ones on the front. I love the punch of a red door, especially with the brass. I would look for two large square planters in the same red and place one on either side of the entryway. They could be where the blue one is now, or up on the step, but they should match and they both need to be in the same location. You can go pretty big,too. The alternative, if you don't want to do a second column, is to get four planters, two that match and two that don't. I'd put a large one with tall plants along the wall where the second column might go. That will help balance the space. Then put another pot to the side of it. In front put one of the two matching pots and place the other one on the opposite side of the walkway. That way, you have the two matching/balancing pots on either side, with taller/filler pots behind where you need the height. (Did that make any sense? :-) I had a wrought iron bench on my front porch and it filled the space in a pleasing way in addition to providing a landing place for people and packages. I think that would look nice there. Keep your eye out for a more distinctive lantern, perhaps in brass. What you have now is fine, but maybe you could find something that is a bit unexpected. Same with the door knocker. Nothing wrong with it, it's just kind of predictable. Something clever that you feel a connection with would be interesting....like a brass sunflower or something. I wouldn't get too cutesie, just find something interesting. Check out eBay for a dizzying selection. All in all, the house and entry are quite pretty. Welcome to the board!

After. This is a Polaris steel door. You can't see it well in the picture but they had a wood-grain option that I went with. This post was edited by bdam on Sun, Nov 23, 14 at 17:07

People have storm doors because, they open doors and pull down the screen for air. A storm door has a security lock on it, for safety. Phantom screens are wrecked by children and pets go right through them and can escape your property and end lost or worse. I personally, would never ever be without storm doors on my house. I have very nice wood doors, and they are original to the house and still in excellent condition because they were protected with storm doors.
