Perches on the Front Porch

It's great having a covered front porch, especially in a quiet neighborhood.  

By the end of November, porch-sitting season is just about over, but since we just got the house painted, we wanted to spruce up our outdoor seating.  
Our house came with a nice wooden porch swing, and I got a sweet $20 rocker from Craigslist.  

The rocker got a fresh coat of white paint and compliments the new white trim.
Since the painter's ended up power washing all the cobwebs off our porch swing, we broke out some of the leftover gray shutter paint (Sherwin William's Gray's Harbor Superpaint in satin) so that it better matches the house and seals up any splinters in the wood.
  (Porch swing and house before and after.)
Come spring, our little perch on the porch will be completely refreshed and ready to enjoy.

I love the house color and I like the porch. I can't wait to sit out on it with you. I better stick with the rocker though, those chains look undersized for this Clydesdale frame.
