Changes Around the House

In addition to everything else going on right now, our community is in the middle of getting a major face lift. The houses are all getting painted. As part of the LP Siding Lawsuit from 5 or 6 years ago, one of the stipulations was that our houses have to be repainted every 5-7 years. Sooooo...it's that time again! We have a great paint crew that is working their tails off painting the houses in our neighborhood. I love the colors, they are very earthy and really make our landscaping (or lack there of) really stand out. I need to do a little repotting and get some plants out next to the garage along the walk to our door.

Before the painting project began, this is what we saw from the street looking at our house. How boring and drab!

Now, is what our house looks like. I absolutely positively LOVE it. They aren't completely done with our trim (notice the drop cloths still on the roof), but they're close enough to post a picture. Don't you just love it?!

I was also finally motivated and finally finished painting our upstairs bathroom. I finished the walls and then painted the cabinets white. I still have some things that I would like to do in there, paint the baseboards, redo the flooring, make a new fabric shower curtain, replace the hinges throughout, however we have some other things that we need to get done around the house ASAP, so those might wait a bit. We'll see. I will, however, get the handles on the drawers soon, we have them, we just had to get some longer screws as the ones that came with the handles weren't long enough. No biggie!
