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!

Congrats! It is an absolutely adorable house!

What a cute house! I love the updates you've done already. There is a house we drive by on the way to church that has a very similar look/feel. They have a brick patio to the side of their porch (may be on the same level as the porch - can't remember). They turned it into the CUTEST sitting area for their front yard. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing (of course I knew it would). We're headed to Utah tomorrow, and I would love to see it in person, and we need to get the little boys together.
ReplyDeleteoh great work, that looks fabulous!
