Our Little Yellow Cottage

 

I thought I would re-post 

this piece from June about our little

yellow cottage since some of 

my newer followers may have missed it.

 We haven't really

made any changes other than

putting two coats of the final color on top

of 2 (and in some places 3) coats

of primer. Blue is a hard color

to cover!  

We still haven't made the shutters 

but we're still looking at lots of designs.

 I'm heading to 

Missouri on Saturday to see a cabinet

my sister-in law saw on Craigslist.

We will be spending the night and

while we're there we will be 

on the hunt for treasures!

I'm not looking for anything in particular

but you can bet we'll have fun

hunting ;)

I'll be taking my camera

so you know what that means....

yep lots of pictures. 

Here's the post from June.

~~~~~~~

I couldn't wait any longer...

I had to share with you our newly painted

little farm cottage.

We're not done painting yet so there's

only a few pictures.

Below...is the 'before'.

Above is the 'after'

of the front.

I actually didn't mind the blue

but it needed a paint job badly

and after asking your opinion 

HERE

and showing you a few samples

of my favorite colors...

I chose the one

most of you liked.

I think we made the right choice. 

Here is how the back looked before.

(see that sidewalk coming towards you to the left? It used to

lead to the summer kitchen/wash house which sat

right there. It was gone when we moved in but the

foundation was still there and we dug it up.)

The 'After'.

Well it's not done yet and this is only

the primer but it's close to the finish

coat. 

We still have to cut the tops off the posts

and stain the fence and back porch.

The front porch 'Before'

The front porch 'After'.

We're thinking of making some

shutters and painting them

a dark green or black.

What do you think?

More pictures to come soon.
