It's been so long since the day that we first ripped down the original front entrance of our home. You may remember that back in February we revealed the make over of the interior, but at the time the exterior still needed some work... mainly the siding was not yet complete. Yes, our home stood throughout the winter without all of the siding on, but we're happy to say our home is looking a little more complete after this past weekend after B and my father put in a hard day's work on Friday.
You may remember that last fall, our front entrance looked like this before it was ripped down...
Yes, not quite the vision of our dream home... a huge part of the reason we knew we had to renovate. By mid December, the exterior of our home was looking like this...
The only catch was that two of the three exterior walls (the two not visible, obviously) did not yet have siding up. Then last month, B got back to work on it before we got hit with another block of un-cooperative weather. Finally, this Friday B and my father were able to fit in a long hard day of work...
And we're so thrilled with how great our home looks now...
Looking better, but of course there is still no shortage of work left to be done out there, so we'll hold off on the big "after" reveal. The next biggest projects we plan to tackle out here are painting the red siding, our deck railing and the front door, as well as finally finding the right house number to fill the huge empty space to the left of our window. I guess we'll take down the Christmas lights at some point as well.
What did you get up to this fine long, Easter weekend?
It looks fabulous Kerry!!!!! I can't wait to see the whole transformation complete. Glad you had a great weekend- wasn't the weather out of this world?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!! Love that shade of grey-blue! It'll look fabulous when it's all done - can't wait to see!!
ReplyDeleteOh it looks so gorgeous Kerry!! I love your home. It's so beautiful and cozy. A hard to pull of combo that you do brilliantly :) Xo
ReplyDeleteMust feel so good to cross yet another item off your list! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats - it looks great! We had a great mix this weekend...friday was relaxed, saturday was a bit busier with some trips to Rona and Home Depot, but balanced out with a lot of visiting (and eating - outside, enjoying the sun), and sunday was work work work on our upstairs rad covers! Definitely feel good after the weekend and it was perfect weather for some outdoor work!

ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic, Kerry! Such an improvement! Looking forward to seeing how you finish the inside, as well - x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much everyone! :) We're reallty excited with how it's turned out so far, and we're looking forward to getting our paint on out there soon to further improve the curb appeal. We may just devote some time this week to picking out the perfect colour for our front door!
ReplyDeleteIt looks marvelous darling, just marvelous! What colours were you thinking for the door?
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice. It must be nice to have one more thing checked off your list.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome. Richard and I wandered around Lowes on Easter Sunday and I was sooo bored! I hate those kind of stores....
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome, Kerry. Have you had a chance to sit on that great porch and soak up some sun yet!?
ReplyDeleteWOW, it looks so great, girl! I just love how it turned out. I bet you're so happy that it's finished (:
ReplyDeleteVery fabulous work! I think the different colors of the door and siding work well with each other. Of course, the door could be painted differently and it could still look nice. So far, your house is looking better!
