Thanks everyone! Lets see if I can catch up with my posts...
The handrail. I hate that thing. As much as I dislike the rail around the porch. To me it just looks too skimpy......I wish it were brick like the rest of the house so the porch was a bit more private. We were debating on just taking it down altogether...but our steps are so nasty in the winter that we need it. And as you can see...the lovely ivy on our front slope makes it impossible to ever attempt moving things.
As far as painting, we are starting to pick colors to repain the foundation (right now its an icky gray/blue...) since our brick (close up is really a mix of browns and reds...I picked a dull redish color (which is already on the back of our house as the wood siding on our little itty bitty porch....) I was thinking of doing the majority of the porch in that red, the siding and the ceiling and then the trim in a cream color......
We were also thinking about painting our door a more inviting color....perhaps the same red, with a cream trim. Right now its a light wood color and it totally goes with NOTHING in our out of our house.....
I also looked into a few solar lights.....which I like the idea of....we found a couple that we liked...and if by magic....on the way to buy them...noticed FOUR of neighbors just installed the SAME ones...our street looks like an airplane runway now. lol
