I had the idea of being one of those homeschool kids that would be pretty nice to get together with and do our own decorating. I’ve learned that you can do it with just the old stuff and the new stuff, and that you can’t get too many things done right, so you’re stuck with the old stuff and don’t like it.
Ive found that you can’t just give people what they want for free. You have to give them what they need or they will not want to use what you give them. It’s a vicious circle.
The good news is that a lot of people on Pinterest and other blogs are making wooden front porches and other designs that would make your house look great. We just used one of those designs and it really does look really nice. Of course there are also lots of other ideas out there, so if you can see it in your mind, you should too.
I had to smile at the Pinterest pics I saw of the front porch of someone’s home. The top one was made by a guy who apparently was using a wood-grain veneer on top of a stone. The bottom one is by a guy who apparently used a nice hardwoods veneer.
I would be a bit more concerned if I saw a solid wood front porch, as that would probably mean something else had warped in the last couple of months. But I guess if you want something nice to paint over, nothing beats a beautiful solid wood one.
Of course, I could just be making it up. But it’s a start.
The idea of a solid wood front porch isn’t new. The first was a guy who had a wooden front porch in a house in Pennsylvania. He put a simple veneer on it. It looked great, but I guess it was just too simple. It wasn’t beautiful, but it was “simple.” The second was a guy who had a solid wood front porch on a house in California.
And the third is a guy who was a woodworker, but then decided to paint his porch. The first thing you notice is that it doesn’t look like a porch. It looks like some kind of weird birdcage. But I guess it works, because he was able to get a lot of people to see it.
The last one was a guy who built a porch. He built it from scratch.
Some people think that if a house has a solid wood facade, it is more aesthetically pleasing. I think it is because the wood itself is more durable and beautiful. This is also why wooden porches are more common in western countries, because the people are used to the idea that the wooden structure is so much more aesthetically pleasing.
