Isn't this the dreamiest veranda? We're trying to get ours to have this look. It will take time and energy but we're on it! The first thing we're doing is replacing our front steps. The builder did just what you see in this picture, putting them in between the two columns and then the railing attached to the deck floor down to the bottom step. However, that proved to create quite a "wobbly" railing whenever someone grabbed on to it as they walked up or down. So we're now going to lengthen the width of the steps to match up to the column and then re~attach the railings to the structure. Will not only be more functional but also look better. I never liked the look of the railing sitting several inches out from the column. Happy we've found a more appealing solution.
Once this initial part is done, we'll then concentrate on our front walk way, which right now is pea gravel and round blocks. Always meant to be temporary, so we need to come up with a better idea as it's low and the water in the Spring from the melt pools there. We're exploring all our options at the moment. We may add some flowy curtains in time.
We do have pretty pots on the steps, sweet wicker furniture and lovely sun that pours through the trees, leaving amazing shadows, creating a sense of calm. That part we don't need to improve on. I change out the wreath on our front door many times over the year, for the next season or celebration. Always fun to provide a new look for our visiting guests. We're almost there in creating our own version of a pretty, dreamy veranda. A reveal will happen.
Do you have a front veranda?
If you do, is it dreamy like this one?
