Since the Fall we've done some major updates to our house. You know you're an adult when #1, these types of things make you giddy and #2, when looking at other people's home updates makes you just as giddy. :)
Today I'm going to share the updates we had done to the front of the house. With more posts coming of all the other stuff we've had done.
So, this is our house before we started. We've lived in this house for 9 years and I've always ALWAYS hated the color. It took me FOREVER to figure out what color I wanted to paint it though. I went back and forth between light gray, navy blue, charcoal gray and white.I decided to go with white. :) And I'm so glad I did!
So, first things first they ripped off all our siding and we were left with this. Don't mind the finger in the corner of the picture...I sent Kamryn out to snap this. ;)
White siding going up, gutters being ripped down and an idea of what our house will look like.
Any and all progress got me so excited. Everyday after the contractors left I would go outside and see what they did...and of course snap a picture!
Don't worry I won't be sharing every single picture. LOL!
New window's with grids. I love the grids...I think they bring so much character to a home.
Siding done on this side of the house.
Now if you look at the picture on the left you'll see we didn't have any siding on the "rake" of our house...that part where the two levels of the roof meet. I had no idea but that is not what it's supposed to look like. It's supposed to have siding all the way up. Once it was done (picture on the right) I could see why! What a difference!
We decided to get rid of the bay window and really open things up on the front of the house with a nice big picture window. I don't really care for bay windows. I for one, don't know how to decorate them so it turns into a dust collector and two, they just don't bring in enough light.
It's incredible how much more light this window brings in! And it looks prettier too... We absolutely love it!
And here's our house today!!
They need to come back when the weather warms up and give it another coat of paint, hang the new gutters and we're adding some farmhouse shutters to each window. We are absolutely thrilled with how it's coming along. I will be sure to share a finished project as soon as it's finally finished!
I've got lots more to share on these home updates but that's it for today!
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!
