It is also a fun way to spend an evening when you have guests while the kids play in the yard.

Flower Pots and Flower Boxes

Creating additional beauty for the front porch is easy when adding flower pots or boxes. Choose pots and/or boxes that are the right color and scale for your home. Also, flowers can be added to accent the home and season. Think about adding hanging plants to give another level of interest.
