Bright and Cheery Screened Porch Makeover

We loved that our house came with a screened in porch, but it had seen better days. We painted the posts and rails white, the ceiling blue, replaced all the screens, hung a new fan, and installed a new tile floor to create a bright and cheery space for the whole family. Next summer we will begin replacing the furniture so for now please ignore the dirty cushions. We'll also be replacing the windows and we're thinking about painting the vinyl siding.
The white posts and light blue ceiling make the space feel larger and brighter.
We built a hanging buffet out of reclaimed wood from an old play set. It's currently all dressed up for fall.
The porch is large enough to hold a table for 10 and a conversation area.
The outside of the porch got all new screens and rot resistant trim.
The screened in porch was a huge selling feature of the house, but it was feeling a little run down. Bright paint, a new floor, and a large fan now make it the perfect 3 season room!

Have a question about this project?
What type of tile did you use? We would like to do the same for the exposed concrete slab on our porch.
Do you have a link for the fan? Beautiful space!
