wish to change porch floor on "newer" home

Hello,
Hope to get some feedback, or maybe a better idea than I currently have on this wish-list project. Our 11 year old home has a nice, big front porch that we love. Being a newer home, however, it has a concrete floor...that I despise. I really like the look of a wood porch floor, especially since we tried our best to achieve that americana look on the front of the house with dark red brick, white trim/porch railings and dark blue shutters. All that's missing is a better floor! How can I do this? I'd read a little about covering the concrete with floorboards, but because we get actual winters here, not sure that would stand the test of time. Also, there's the problem of the exposed sides of the porch, height of the door threshold, etc. Has anyone had any luck with painting a concrete floor to look like wood? Or does anyone have another idea? I sure could use the help!
