Laundry Room & Siding

Making changes with two small children running around takes a while, or at least it takes us a while. But, we've managed to make a number of changes in our house in the 2 years that we've lived here. The list includes painting the bedrooms and kitchen, finishing the basement and the following 2 projects.

The laundry/mudroom/entrance from garage room.
If you hold your arms out and turn a circle you can pretty much touch each wall. It's tiny and needs to be highly functional for us. Here's a photo of the laundry room from before we bought the house. But, after moving in we didn't change the room...


until now!


The boys are learning to hang their jackets and bags on the hooks.


The open shelves gave us more storage than we had before and the absence of a big wooden cabinet (now providing storage in the garage) also helps the room feel larger. I love the orange accents, I just love them. There is certain kind of joy that comes from using spray paint.




When we purchased our house, we knew it would need new siding in the next several years. Here's how our house looked before we bought it. Aren't the flowers pretty?

Again, pre-purchase.

Mid re-siding. Thankfully, the 2-man crew that resided our house was quick and cleaned up really well after themselves.


And, here's our house now, with darker siding, white trim and a red front door.





Next on the list of changes - paint the living room! Photos will be shared when that giant project finally gets tackled.
