Porch pics update--1870's Farmhouse in Upstate, NY

We're not totally done (porch skirt, final paint job, storm doors,etc) but I wanted to show you guys how far we've gotten!
Gist if this Reno is that we tried to source EXACTLY replicating the small section of original rail we had, but it was just too cost prohibitive. So this is darn close.
Columns, newels, spindles & rails from Mr. Spindle in Fargo, ND (all clear cedar)
Floorboards are 5/4 Clear Vertical Grain Douglas Fir painted with BM Porch paint (enamel).
Skirt will be thick Woodway cedar lattice picture-framed in with thick trim. Just not sure if all of it will be white, or some dark green.
Thanks for all the help, as usual, GardenWeb forums!!
