Liberty Cottage Porch Redesign

Last Spring, I decided my front porch design needed to be revamped. This was my plan; Painting the furniture white, just like the trim color on the house.   Purchase a new outdoor rug, found one at target.com.  Replace the coffee table, with metal stools from Ikea. I just spray painted them a fun color.  The shutters actually fell apart, so I won't be using those. I really wanted to find a candelabra or create one.My idea was to buy an inexpensive chandelier, remove electricity, replace with candles, then spray it a cool color. Unfortunately I never got around to it :(... Maybe next year? 

So what do you think?
