Old house, new life.

The big news is that we bought a house. Our very first house to be exact. We've been hard at work sprucing and painting and tiling and refinishing the last couple of months and it is all starting to come together. Now to the really fun part, furniture! 

Our little house had charm from the get go, but she definitely needed a makeover to hold her own in our historical neighborhood. I wanted to go with a fresher color palette and clean up the yard. We rebuilt the columns and pulled down the ivy that was taking over. 

Here is our little house getting ready for a brand new roof. 

Here is our little house now! It is amazing what pulling out some bushes and a few cans of paint can do. We're still in need of landscaping and plan on building a railing on either side of the front porch, but all in all, our house has a brand new look. 

And just because I know you will ask, here are the details on the house :

Built in the 1940s, lots of original features still intact

1900 square feet

4 bedrooms

2 bathrooms

House color is Martha Stewart Magnetite

Door color is Benjamin Moore Cloudy Sky

Get ready for some adventures in home renovation and lots of good before and afters!
