Front porches share a lot of life with the inhabitants of a home. They are resting place and gathering place. They present the inhabitants of the home to the community and much is often judged by the goings on of that front porch. Is it a catch all for unused stuff or is it inviting with places to sit and flowers potted and hung artistically? Is it whimsical or formal? Does it beg you to come set a while? Or do you fear stepping up the stair? Front porches say a lot.
