Front Porch Makeover

We gave our builder-basic front porch a much-needed makeover with (mostly) in-stock items from Lowe's. The accent colors I chose were from the HGTV Home line by Sherwin Williams and included Web Gray (door,) Tidewater (ceiling,) Snowbound (trim,) and Grayish (light stripe on concrete.)
The chairs were estate sale finds I purchased on Everything But the House, an online estate sale company. We took two kitchen chairs and repurposed them into side-by-side swings. The garden stool is from Kohl's.
I spray painted wood letters and used a hot glue gun to adhere magnets to the back so I could add a fun but non-permanent greeting to the back of the chairs.
We added a new door from Lowe's to give the exterior of the house a craftsman-style touch and new galvanized lights (also from Lowe's.) The table is a yard sale find that I spray painted white and I picked up the olive bucket from Walmart.
This space is like our new living room. We're out here all of the time!
And the ugly before...
