the house


Before





So here are some before and after shots of our house painting project. All of our time and money for the last 2 months has been for this project (way too long) and we are still not done. We have to finish painting the gables black, the soffits white and we are thinking of doing a reddish door (maybe, what do you think). Unfortunately this project has taken long then expected so we did the necessities and decided to put a hold on it for a week or so to get the inside of the house more ready for baby boy. There is definitely a sense of accomplishment to take on house projects yourself not to mention the money saved but wheewwww!! And this one was completely on Jeremy and a few friends we hired to spray the main body color, considering my current state.


After
with new gutters and light fixtures



now we need to work on our poor mailbox! It got ran over by a plow last winter.

wow, Sarah I love it! the green looks beautiful, and it makes such a huge difference! i say keep the door the tan color, if you do a red you'll have the red/green Christmas effect kinda going on.

The house looks great! Seeing the green in place, I'm so glad you went with that color. The whole house looks cheerier and fresh.
