Front Door Makeover...

I've always wanted a red front door. Our original plan was to get a new front door. Well we have learned that the door is original door and is going to be very pricey to replace. Since I have found several red doors in our area we have decided to try some alternate colors...

We got a couple of samples today!  After we sand down 80 years of old paint we will begin testing.  Hopefully this project will be complete by the end of the week.  I can't wait!

3 Seasons

Well we have made it through 3 seasons in our new home.  We have made some vast improvments but still have not started landscaping.  Here is the front of the house through the seasons...

Just moved in...

Summer plus funiture and Hendrix at the door...

 

Fall...

Winter and our first snow...

We have started to prep the yard for landscaping and Mr. has found a place for his garden.  We did a walk through last week and made some plans for a waterfall and pergola (we tend to have big dreams, just go with it).  Hopefully we will get some advice and perhaps help from the in laws this spring...hint hint. 

Happy Spring!  Now if only it would warm up we can get started.
