An added note :)

I realized I didn't mention that I'm going to patch the foundation and paint it the same tan as the house.

I didn't want you to lose sleeping thinking about how our ugly blue foundation doesn't match the house!! Ha :)

A little more exterior

Well, the new siding is mostly on now. Tomorrow they will put new windows in the girls' room upstairs and put siding around that small part then it's done. Well, their part anyway :) I need to caulk all the nail holes in the window trim and touch up paint. Then take a deep breathe and paint the front door cranberry red. Is that crazy? I know it will look good so I just need to do it!!

In a week or two the workers will be back to redo the front porch. I need to get that UGLY blue carpet ripped off.....Yeah!

I will put before ( when the house was blue and pitiful :) and after pictures up when it's all done in a couple weeks.

Have a beautiful day:)

New Exterior....gone with the blue!

It's been a long time since I blogged but I wanted to show pictures of our new exterior :) Well, in the process!

It's just about 8 years since we bought our home and the old blue vinyl and I have never become friends :) Oh happy day that we can finally kick it to the curb!!

We chose a warm tan color for the new siding with white trim boards around the windows and doors. I think I'm going to paint the front door a deeper cranberry color. Then we'll have a rustic brown mailbox, house numbers and exterior light.

The blue carpet on the front steps is getting ripped off and the wrought iron pillars are getting wrapped in wood and then there will be new wooden handrails on both sides of the porch. The pillars and rails will be white.

I think the finished product will portray some nice curb appeal!!

Will add more pictures as things progress..................
