hi girls
so, we have so many reno update pictures, i think what i'll do is post one part of the house every day for the next week so that you guys don't get all pictured out in one day. i'm going to start with the outside. the new pictures i took in the fall, it's not that nice outside here right now! This is what we started with: Front of the house when we bought it in 2006 - ![]() New front of the house - ![]() We had a terrible storm come through town in Aug/06 (don't know if you guys remember) - so old back of the house in 2006 after the storm - ![]() New back of the house - the only thing not shown in this picture is we also replaced the basement windows (after the picture of course) - ![]() Old back yard - it was a mess of junk and we didn't have a fence up yet to seperate our half of the duplex and my bil's half - ![]() New back yard - i had a gorgeous garden all summer, but forgot to take a picture of it.... ![]() ![]() whoever owned the house before us painted the fence a lovely shade of purple , sophia and i spent a lot of time painting it all to a more normal colour......thanks for looking! there'll be a new installment tomorrow! ariann |

there's a goofy story about the blue siding....i don't really like blue.... i wanted either dark brown or brick red (there are houses here that look awesome in the red colour!) but my sil who lives in the other half is OBSESSED with blue, so she ended up being more stubborn than me, and won out....
we picked a really nice shade of smoky blue, and her dh (my bil) ordered the wrong colour blue, so we weren't expecting that shade at all...but it's grown on me since, and we're the only blue house on the street, which is cool because everybody can find our house easily. |
