nice because it appears to be out of balance. The posts would look great if you can make them a little larger in diameter...are you missing one...it looks a little out of balance...?? The door would be very pretty framed out with impressive molding (you can find some designs on line). Shutters will finish it out, but do not go too wide because the door needs more accent. (also shutter windows on side of house for finished look) I would take up the grass about 6' on all 3 sides of the porch and put in a white fence and then plant miniature shrubs and pots of flowers on both sides! Everything does not have to be done all at once so you can budget as you go along. This place could be magnificent! Or you can put up a fence and hang window boxes on it.

Painting: What paint to use on unfinished pine cabinet for rustic look?

I bought a pre-loved glass & pine china cabinet with a drawer base that had never had a finish and is paint ready, doesn't even need sanding. I want to do a somewhat rustic look in a cream color. I was thinking of a milk or chalk paint so it doesn't end up with a plastic look from todays acrylic latex paints. Can't find online from Home Depot or Michaels. (Anyone know of a store near Spokane, WA?)Where do I find these paints and how to use them? Thanks!

Painting: Vintage Chaise What Color to Paint

Should I paint this it's original white? I also have a glass top table to match. In great shape and the chaise has good wheels. Would it be best in a nice white enamel or a color? The ironwork on the arms and foot of the chaise are great.
