Front Porch Refresh

Last fall our front porch got a little makeover.  Thanks to a rickety railing, our porch went from this:

to this:

We replaced the deteriorating iron railing with white painted wood, and while we were at it, we changed the door from bright green to a soft blue.

Now I just need to take down the winter wreath and get our porch ready for spring!  I’d like to add 2 outdoor rugs, one under the table and chairs on the left and one under the porch swing on the right.  I’m also planning to make a new cushion and pillows for the swing to freshen it up a little bit.

I’ve come up with three rug and fabric combinations that I really like, but I’m having trouble pulling the trigger on one of them.

I’m leaning towards option 2 paired with white impatiens and red geraniums…  What would you choose?

    I was going to say 1 or 3 because I absolutely love the diamond pattern in the rug. All of them are great but I really like that design:)

    My vote is for #3 – love the stripe color combo, especially the orange pop! Please post photos of what you decide.

    I like option 3, #2 is my second pick. I think either one would be great accents to your soft blue door.

    One more thing….Garnet Hill is offering 20% off and free shipping – they have Dash and Albert rugs! Where is the multi striped fabric from?

    I love the third. Something about the neutrals and the pop of the colored one. Perhaps with the first rug, though…

    I love #1! Or #3 with the wide blue stripes instead of the multicolor stripes.

    I vote for 3. I can’t give you a reason why except it just appeals to me.
