(Before below, After above) It is a bit hard to tell the color from the photo, but we painted the body of the house in a light grey-green called Sprig of Ivy (Lowes) and the trim is all in white and the new shutters are black. It all compliments the brickwork very well. :)
In keeping with the face-lift the exterior of our home rcvd over the summer, I also gave my blog a face-lift... no more shabby, peeling wood... everything is feeling beautiful and pulled together now... ahhhh! so nice to finally feel like you can just put your feet up and enjoy :)
Whew!!! It was worth the wait (and the blood, and the sweat, and the tears!) A lot of work went into this home over the past 10 months and it was soooo worth it! After finishing the front lawn over the weekend, we now have the very satisfied feeling of having the home that we had dreamed this house would become (don't get me wrong we are by no means finished! I mean are you EVER really "finished"???) The backyard is still a complete blank canvas (waiting to have a pool painted onto it ;) and their are little paint touch ups to be done here and there... but for the most part our home is complete (sigh)... it has been a fun adventure, but I am very happy (and proud) to say that we did it! Many thanks to all of the people who helped us accomplish our dream... Thank you, Thank You! THANK YOU!!!
