Over the past couple weekends, since the weather was so perfect, we decided to take on a project we've been wanting to do for a while. You see, when we bought our house, it was brand spankin' new. No "homey" touches, just the basic model: cream colored siding, black shutters, black door. Here's the "before" picture:
Since we bought the house, we've said that we wanted to add a pop of color. Two years later, we finally settled on what we wanted, bought our paint and supplies, and went to town painting. We used brushes rather than spraying it on. I really like the textured look the brushed-on paint gave the door and shutters. It took us two weekends, due to the fact that it is crazy hard to get three coats of paint done on a door and two shutters with an 8 month old little monkey trying to get all up in your business. It was worth the time we spent, though. It's such a pretty color! See?
What do you think?
Have you done any renovations on your home sweet home lately?
