I've posted what the front of my house looks like before. The front porch is just a couple slabs of concrete which I tried to dress up with an outdoor rug, some plants and a couple of chairs. On Saturday morning, I was working in my office and heard a bunch of noise out front. So I went outside and found all this stonework sitting next to my porch.
My landlord decided he wanted to dress up the front porch, so who was I to say "no"? Here it is in progress. The two Mexican guys doing the work didn't want their picture taken, so they moved to the side when I came out with my camera. They did a great job...and were very fast.
Here's half of it finished...
And the rest of it when I got home tonight. Sweet. I love it...looks so much better than a cement slab.
So, maybe now I'll have to look for some better porch furniture...
Like this...
Or this...
Or this...
How about this?
Or maybe this??
I can see me lounging in this and having my sons feed me grapes and fanning me when it's hot here in Texas...
Or not. Haha! Anyway...I like my new front porch.

Great job Deb! I'd love to do that to cover the cool deck on our back patio and around the pool. And I like all the options!
By the way, I love the way you change the doorways on your header!
I'd go for pic #3. Built in crevaza holders. And make sure whoever is feeding you grapes and fanning you, peels the grapes first. It's a sign of true love:-))

Thanks, Beck...I think I have enough doorways from Isla to cover about a year's worth of blog headers!
I like your thinking, Carl/Debbie. I agree with number three. With four cup holders, we could do Sol, Corona, Dos Equis and Modelo, ya' think?
