I love everything about this porch.

What are the materials used for the ceiling and the floor? If the ceiling is natural, how do you keep the cold midwest elements from harming it?

Hi Jacqueline. The floor is IPE - a rainforest wood. It's very dense and does well in our climate, though it needs to be sealed with waterproof treatment every several years. The ceiling is pine bead board stained on site. Thanks for your interest in the project!

I like everything about your room! Yes, add shelves. And, it would look nice if the chandelier and pictures were lowered.

Hello mn0304, I think it looks very nice!! Don't really see institution at all... Some foliage and large pots for decoration or with Olive trees between the windows would be lovely... Difficult to see what type of windows they are.. Sash and wood would mean they could be painted a nice colour.. I'd suggest a granite or dark green.. If they are upvc with a grid design between two panes as I have just come across with another person I offered suggestions to.. then that's a bit tricky.. I don't have any experience with upvc but I do know of products that allow you to paint onto plastic.. Can't see the front door to offer any suggestions here.. but if you can't paint the windows I would think of two bays at the front door... and some lovely large stone pots between the side windows.. You could also carry the large pot idea down the side of the drive at intervals.. This one is terracotta but you can also find faux.... Then more money for roof! :))

Paint the doors black matt and the fames cream add silver crome door furniture. Huge silver mirror above the covered radiator then add a runner of any colour you like and match it with the lamps and lighting. hey presto done.
