I have a very deep front entrance to my home 8 'deep& about 7' wide I presently have one bench sitting on one side and the rest of it's very empty looking. I'm looking for an idea to make it more attractive in the front entrance. The walls are stucco and the color is a mocha brown.

Comments (4)It looks like a complete reroofing and repointing. In the before pic, the tiles are in a pretty dodgy state, and the pointing is all over the place -- it even looks like there's some modern cement mortar in there causing damp. Good for another century now, and a lovely job mixing the tiles so that the replacements don't stand out....See MoreNew Entrance Door

Comments (7)Looking at the room dimensions and layout, it looks like the dining room is a converted garage and the front part of the living room was probably extended at the same time. Thus your challenge will be removing load bearing walls where feasible. You'll need to get a structural engineer involved but looking at the plans you've provided, I suspect it is as open as it can be without some seriously expensive steelwork and structural pillars. An alternative might be to move your kitchen into the dining room and to knock through into the existing kitchen to give you the space you need....See MorePorch and door help
Comments (10)As previously mentioned, you will need to have a pair of doors with curved frame etc bespoke made, just find a company you trust and ask for a quote? They will also be able to include 'faux' leading to match your other fan light windows. You could plasterboard the inside of the porch to cover up the bricks but you won't gain anything thermally unless you dry line the walls and maybe add a radiator of some sort under the window by the inner front door? For me, I would leave the bricks as they are. Replace your current floor tile (as previously mentioned) with some lovely black and whites, though you may fine a nice surprise under the tiles you have, wood is a good solution but impractical for wear and tear plus getting wet will just end up ruining the wood unless you go for a hardwood parquet with a tough finish? Have you tried pressure washing your drive to breath new life into those weather soiled bricks? You will be amazed how good they will look when clean and save a lot of money and hassle too. I personally am not a fan of tarmac, it looks to impersonal and industrial. The garden area could be brought back to life by using slate chippings and it will allow you to plant anywhere you like without more construction work? With the money you save, you could treat your garage to a new electric door to match the colour of your new front door entrance?...See Moreeverdebz
