Our Home Miiiight Get Surgery Instead of a Makeover

Pursuing up on my submit about our home renovation programs (or absence-thereof, is more like it), I desired to share a lot more details on how the new types may possibly have an impact on our home’s exterior. Far more particularly: the front façade.

To be genuine, sharing the present exterior of our home pains me fairly a little bit. Other than acquiring our 130 calendar year aged brick repainted past calendar year, it’s been sorely neglected as we’ve always experienced plans to deal with it and didn’t want to sink considerably into it right up until we could do it appropriate…

I’ve been in a position to envision the possible due to the fact we purchased this location six many years back.

Funnily enough, our exterior has been a little bit of an embarrassment for us for some time – a common situation of the shoe cobbler’s young children. Emotion fed up with our lacklustre suppress attractiveness, last summertime we had been *this near* to likely total steam in advance on some key entrance landscaping updates when our contractor backed out at the past second for individual causes. We were being pretty bummed out about it at the time, but I realize now that the universe is effective in mysterious methods. If we had absent with our initial options and invested in our front landscaping (which includes a new walkway) we would have had to retain the locale of our existing entrance doorway and hardly ever could have ended up listed here. Evidence the moment again that factors transpire for us, not to us. A lesson I have realized time and time all over again. Content mishaps for the win!
