When Your Front Porch Says ‘Blah

This weekend, I sat on our porch steps watching the neighbors walk their dogs, and it hit me: our entryway is the architectural equivalent of beige toast. The builder-grade railing? Wobbly. The "welcome" mat? Faded to "meh."

The Problem: I want a porch that makes the UPS guy pause. Something with character—thick cedar posts, maybe a built-in bench for summer lemonades. But our 1990s colonial has all the charm of a fax machine.

The Discovery: I fell down a rabbit hole of Custom By Cavelli’s About Us page after spotting their truck near the Chagrin Falls farmers’ market. Their story—family-owned, obsessed with details—made me trust them more than the flyer-for-dudes-with-hammers on my grocery store bulletin board.

Takeaways:

Custom railings can mimic historic homes (without the lead paint).

A carpenter who listens > one who says "we’ve always done it this way."

My dream of a book nook under the eaves isn’t that crazy.

Closing Thought: Next step: bribing my spouse with coffee to agree this is a "necessary investment."
