Today the sky was blue, the clouds puffy and high and the weather was just delightful. As I washed the white rail fence, I thought…it is time to share our home. It is like me. In other words it is ‘perfectly imperfect’, as some railings are still needing to be installed. It is however, a beautiful transformation. The results are what I thought they could be, and yet, I am still in awe of what hard work can do.
From where we began…our ‘before’…
It is the result of many hours of work…doing something that I did not know I could do…
Helped by friends when I needed them most…
As they embraced the change with excitement and enthusiasm…
From high and low……and a lot of time on ladders…
We had a vision, but still are stunned at the result. We actually changed very little…White trim stayed white…black windows stayed black…a small black ‘eye brow’ was added to each window….
…and then we added yellow.
‘Butter Up’…a historical yellow…gives the innate beauty of this home a proper stage to show it off.
…I cannot believe we did it…
…and we are blessed.
