exterior update / by Lauren Andrews

Things are finally coming together around here and I am so excited to share the progress. I still have a number of items on my to do list (i.e. front landscaping, staining the walkway), but I am at a point where I am content with the final product and so happy to see it everyday. 

If you remember from my first post, the exterior was in terrible shape. The painters spent weeks scraping, sanding, and power washing the siding in order to get it smooth enough to take the primer and paint. We replaced and relocated the front sconces, installed a new post lamp and mailbox, and in general cleaned up the curb appeal. We are still waiting on our new front door, but I painted our existing door to hold us over until it arrives mid October. 

The house is so much brighter and noticeable from the street now. Before it felt dark and heavy with the drab blue and deep red-orange accents. Now we have a light, fun Florida bungalow that we can enjoy for years to come.

So drum roll please......
