Which porch lantern??
Hi All,
So frustrated. Just spent ages writing this post and it disappeared when I clicked 'post'?!
Anyway, here we go again...
We are slowly fixing up our front of house, and now wondering which porch light to buy. Here is a picture of our front door:
We are replacing the step tiles with victorian black and white tiles (a further post to come about that!). The main question I have about the porch lantern is in relation to the wall lantern we already have, as you can see in the photos.
Here it is up close:
Porch lantern options:
1. This appears to be the nearest to the wall lantern I can find, with four sides, though there appears to be some effect on the glass:

2. This is the most different to the lantern we already have - too different?

3. Probably some where in the middle - 6 sided rather than 4 sided, and also has some effect on the glass. It's only £17 (reduced from £69) which is not irrelevant to our thinking.

Your thoughts welcome!
I inserted a poll the last time, but I am afraid that's why the post disappeared, so I won't do that this time, unless I can post it later.
Thanks in advance!

Comments (13)Definitely art deco. This is a hard one. From houzz pictures, it looks as though you could extend the Juliet floor out and then add a roof but a builder would have to figure that one out. You could have another roof line on the side and have your porch there and access it from inside, which might turn out even better as you would have a great summer entertaining spot. Have you put in Art Deco in exterior photos? Great ideas....See MorePlease help. I need suggestions for exterior redesign of house.
Comments (15)hello bonnielynn75 and THANK YOU! your comment put a smile on my face re the red on the interior side of the door. It IS red on the inside as well, he insisted on that when we purchased it. no one here has it red on the inside and I wanted it to be white on the inside. do you see my dilemma?;) I agree with everything you are saying, I suppose this is the reason why so far I was not 100% sure about the black for the door either, although I like black...Agree, there is too much wall and I find the house to be looking a bit 'bland' and would like to change that. I LOVE shutters, but read somewhere that you never put shutters on wide windows, so got unsure about that, too...but perhaps just the one as I stated earlier. Would the color on that shutter be the same as the door (if I ever settle on a door color)? Unfortunately window boxes are not an option as we have quite a few cats and they may be used as litter boxes;) please don't tell me to get rid of the cats;)... Regarding the stoop (entrance) : we need to add another step (made of cement) on top of the existing step: it was removed when the new door was fitted. We were thinking of putting slate tiles or something dark to match the roof, if that makes any sense.... It is porous cement so unsuitable for painting, I think.

Comments (15)Just wanted to add something regarding the steps since I had also asked for advice on them: we had steps installed in slate, but unfortunately they did not turn out to look very nice, so will need to get redone . Was wondering if we should also incorporate some of the bricks seen on the porch, perhaps as risers covered by blue limestone or slate just to tie everything together?...See More
