Porch in Progress by Jane M.
You have to imagine the chair painted a chocolate brown. Also I need some ideas for what to hang on the walls on the sides of the windows.

Depends on the other decor of your home. if you have the country feel then maybe you would consider on of the runner rugs in a gingham or possibly a paisley. If you choose a paisley you could always go with any other decorating theme.By having the dark colors on the furniture you can always have a pop of color on the floor and in your accessories love the green but add a third color such as orange or maybe a cobalt blue. As for on the walls perhaps a metal star or a cluster of metal stars or a grouping to tea light holders that you could light in the evening for a relaxing glow!
I had a porch like yours and I painted the concrete…it made a huge difference!
I agree with Deb – painting the concrete a neutral color will make a big difference. I’m thinking you could do a wrought iron feature on either side of the window….possibly some wrought iron sconces with flameless candles that would provide a nice ambiance.
I’m thinking some shutters on the windows, a large pendant light and some large boston ferns would complete the picture beautifully.
I agree with Shannon about the metal sconces with a glass globe for a candle or flameless candle. It would create a great atmosphere at night.
My first thought was the same as Jennifer, I think shutters would be beautiful!
Painting the concrete would be a great idea too!
I agree with the idea of painting the concrete. Possibly a picture on the wall to the right of the window if you want to bring out the color in the pillows. Also, you might think of a larger size in the rug, so the chair would sit completely on it. Beautiful setting!
Some salvaged shutters would look nice. I definitley agree with the idea of a vibrant green plant to pick up the green accent color. If you can’t find shutters, I think some wrought iron accents would look great, as others suggested, to bring in another texture.
And, from what I can see in this photo, I love the shabby chic texture of the concrete. I would keep it as is! It balances so nicely with the softness of the fabrics and the polish of the green garden seat.
Nice job!
