I am excited to announce that 212 is finally getting an exterior makeover. The first mini project was to spruce up the house numbers, which were tarnished and tired looking.
Tools Needed: -sand paper -black spray paint -gloves -cat optional :) After sanding down the number surfaces, I placed them on newspaper and gave them a generous spray. I did two coats and made sure to cover the screws too. This touch-up on the house seems like the tiniest tweak, but it makes a big difference when people approach the front door. I figure it's kind of like a good eyebrow job; you wouldn't think that a little tinting and shaping would do a lot, but it really does wonders for the face :). My next project for this week is the back tool shed and the side wood paneling on the porch. I am also looking for a new wreath or decoration to hang on the door. Any suggestions?! Oh-- and for those of you who cringe at the overgrown shrub beasts that are taking over the front garden, you will be happy to hear that those are coming down this week too!

About MeKyle and I just became new homeowners. The house we purchased is not what one would classify as "move in ready"; in fact, it is quite the opposite. Built at the turn of the 20th century, our Victorian style house is both beautiful and terrifying in its ancient status and will be a project in renovation. This is a documentation of our triumphs and lessons learned, as we deconstruct and reconstruct this house. The end result? A space that we can proudly say we created. Archives
