The extra door is GONE, BABY, GONE!


For those who are keeping up with our "remove the extra door on the front of the house" project, here are pics from the bedroom, one a work-in-progress, and one an "after" shot of how the wall looked with the door removed.  You'd never know it was there!



One more project to cross off that mile-long list!

And this is what it looks like from the outside, on the front porch:


Luckily, we kept scraps of the antique siding when we tore down the greenhouse.  Some sanding, caulking, wood putty, more caulking, etc. etc. and you'll never know it was a second front door.

And the answer is----Red!

Red, or more specifically, Brownstone Red (True Value Weatherall paint) has been chosen as the trim color for our Texas bungalow/cottage repainting project.  The window sashes, scallopy-things around the porch, shutters and awnings will be dark green.  The doors?  Undecided.

Funny thing, I dithered around with samples, test patches, etc. then choose the same colors that are on the curtains in the room facing the back----yellow, brown, green and red.  LOL.  Oh well. At least I'm consistent in my choices.

The brackets are dark chocolate brown, and the trim is the red.


Why are they painted only so high?  Because that's as far as I could reach.  LOL


Stay tuned for more progress!
