Front of the House Make-over: Sneak Peak

When we bought our house, we were drawn to the structure of the old farm house. It had a special cottage charm. Except,  without the charm...


Pretty blase. Yet, so much potential . We have dreams of a white picket fence, a porch swing, tulips, and a goat on the roof (just kidding on the last one.). We are slowly making progress. The first step was adding shutters to the windows...so here is a sneak peak of the beginnings of what we have planned for our big face lift. And when you're 110 years old, that's some pretty major surgery.

Sneak Peak...


 My window box...



Much more to come!

Cute!! I love the window box. :) Did you install the shutters yourself or hire someone to do it? We've got a brick house, but we'd love to have shutters. Is it an easy DIY project?

Isn't it amazing how much the exterior of your house impacts it?? Can't wait to see what all you've been up to. It's looking great!
