It has been completely crazy around these parts lately. We've been on home renovation overload for the past few weeks. We now have new siding---which looks AWESOME and 10 times better than what we had before. Last weekend my husband painted the foundation gray to match since it was previously brown, and he also painted our whole shed that was also the same colors as the house. We had new gutters put on (yes that part is a little less glamorous but much needed after the storm damage last year), and we now have trees! We literally had like 2 trees on our property...now we have like 20! So now it's time for some before and after pics. I'll wait to take some pics of the trees to give them time to bloom and grow. Anyways, without further ado:
Our house BEFORE:
 |
| (Light yellow siding with green shutters and accents) |
Our house AFTER:
 |
| (Grey siding, black shutters, pewter cedar shakes in the gables, and white gable vents) |
Please ignore the huge laurel and boxwoods. They have all been removed and will be replaced with smaller plants that don't try to take over the house. We are also changing our front porch/entrance so stay tuned!
(Sidenote: These pics are without the new gutters, they came after I snapped these!)
Looks amazing!! I love the gray, such difference!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a big difference. Love the grey!
ReplyDeleteHey, love the bump below!! Home stuff is painstakingly fun. That's the phrase I'll use. :)
ReplyDeletewow - who would have thought a change in colour could have such a big effect! I love it!
ReplyDeleteand I am secretly dying to get into your dirt -- now that I know you ripped those bushes out. I hope that doesn't weird you out - ha - but the winter's are long for garden lover's up here! We have to make do by planning other people's landscaping.
It looks great!!! I love grey houses.... when we painted ours, I wanted grey, but it had a green roof (yuck) that doesn't need to be replaced, so I had to work with that. I can't want to see the rest of your changes!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! So elegant.
ReplyDeleteThe new colors make the house look so good!
