Finally, we have finished painting the house! My only regret is that I didn't go two shades darker with the trim paint. You can barely tell that the porch columns and the trim around the windows and on the peaks is darker. Maybe next summer, a darker shade for the trim.... shhhhh, don't tell hubby! Next on the agenda... a new screen door.
BEFORE: The summer of '08, with peeling gray paintand a purpley trim color. For some odd reason, the porch columns
were a shade of blue ???
BEFORE: You can just barely see the porch foundation (above) - the seamswere not totally concreted and it was never primed or painted.
Note ugly light. We replaced the light - see photo below.
IN PROGRESS: Foundation has been patched between the blocks.Porch interior has been painted, and new light has been installed.
This evening's stormy sky to the west of us.
I made cupcakes to take to work tomorrow - these are homemadeall the way, batter and frosting! They turned out way too deelish, which
means it's uber hard for me to keep my grubby hands off them. Of course,
I doubled the recipe so there's plenty to leave home for hubby.
