Re: Front Porch, Pops of Orange & Navy

I love this...maybe the orange stools could be cream to match the trim on the house, very very pale coral,...or even bronze to match the light fixtures. They are a bit too bright and take the orange too far IMO.

Re: Front Porch, Pops of Orange & Navy

I like the orange stools and navy mat but not with the rest of this house.  I'm not a green person so the siding is off-putting and just throwing everything off for me.

Striking and clean - and I don't favor the color orange.

Like the porch, like the colors, but the two orange garden stools prove to be a bit too much of a good thing and I like orange.


I can only say "ditto" to your post, @stevieb  I could have written every word.

I would remove the orange stools and those hanging things by the door.  I would add a few real plants.

Re: Front Porch, Pops of Orange & Navy

it does have a welcoming look to it, but not in a comfy/cozy way.

I love this! It looks like something I might see walking in my neighborhood. Lots of cottage homes with front porches here

Re: Front Porch, Pops of Orange & Navy

I love porches and always wished I had one , for me it always adds to a home.  While I am not a fan of the color orange, I do like this porch and its look!  I could be comfortable in that area.

Love it.  It's so different but not "in your face" different.
