Here is what the porch looked like when we bought the house - notice the lovely teal carpeting that was covering several layers of cast-off carpeting, pretty. You may also note the designer (filthy) pale blue window blinds. Again - pretty. And everyone's favorite - 70's wood paneling. 
So what did we do? pulled all the carpeting, sanded the gray floor, filled in the areas where it was chipped. Then we painted the paneling our favorite antique white and all of the trim plus the porch floor a forest green designed for porches and decks.
The result? a lovely haven for me to read and drink coffee in the morning and for us to relax and listen to the baseball game at night. If we hadn't done such a good job on the bedroom, this would be my favorite room in the house!
