You could put a couple of rows of bedding flowers for a punch of color in front of the dwarf bushes. A large container on either side of the front door is always welcoming. I also love the look of decorative large mailboxes on older homes they add so much character. I have several large hanging baskets attached to the pillar of my own front porch and a little fountain which sounds just wonderful when I open the front door and hear it through the screen door. Might be a relaxing sound for you while lounging on your porch swing.
