    Hoping for some suggestions on what to do with this front porch floor. I am thinking of painting it or staining it but I am not sure what color to use. The house is a soft grey with a black front door and shutters. Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I love the look of stained concrete Suzanne ! It turns out beautiful and can even look like marble if you layer the color. Since your base colors are neutrals, gray and black, you can get away with just about anything . Blue, darker gray, or even maybe some green for a pop of color. I suggest painting a few large pieces of cardboard a color that you like and laying them down on the patio and living with them for a little while. You might be surprised at what grows on you or looks good. Good luck and happy painting !

    I might go with a darker gray....I usually stay neutral with big items and bring color in with accents like chair pillows, maybe a pretty rug, table cloth, etc.....I LOVE your cardboard idea. Great way to test the color before that MAJOR committment!
