Fresh Colors for the Outside
For the last two weeks, I've been painting the front side of the house for some much needed curb appeal.
I just couldn't put it off any longer, even though I have lots more to do inside.
We purchased paint months ago, selecting an old favorite color scheme based on the color palette
we used on our first home, purchased way back in 1974 in Arlington. This house we're working on
39 years later, is beginning to look so fresh as it brings lots of contrast to a neighborhood of houses
adorned in your typical drab colors that don't make your head turn.
The neighbors and passers by are giving us lots of thumbs up in approval. It reminds me of the fresh fruit salad I made the other day with honeydew melon and cantaloupe. FRESH COLORS. There's almost a scent of melons if you stare long enough. We found these beautiful cushions online to upgrade our porch chairs too. They bring a perfect accent and focal point to our curb appeal.
Names Out of the Past
In addition, we've been picking up a number of vintage bricks scattered around our acre estate that have old manufacturer names stamped on the faces. I gathered them up and bordered our porch with them just for the sake of adding another little feature that corresponds with the age of the house.
Sneak Peak at the Hall Bathroom
Tiling the shower enclosure is well underway.
In case you've forgotten how much needed to be done, take a look at our posts back in January.
