Most of the houses in our neighborhood were built in the era when front porches were essential outdoor rooms. Our porch gets full shade all afternoon and evening.
On our porch we added comfortable seating, tables for cool drinks and put some candles inside a couple of old railroad lanterns for soft lighting. We think we’ve got the best gathering spot ever on a warm summer evening. Pull up a chair and join us sometime.

But you need more planters with flora in them. I can recommend geraniums, pelargoniums, and begonias!
I agree! We’ve spent so much time planting the gardens we’ve neglected containers.
Thanks! It’s a great porch and we love to spend time out there.
It definitely looks comfortable and shady!
