Have you ever had a hard time just sitting still? Sometimes I think I'm crazy. I love being at home with sweet Savannah AND I think my house looks a lot messier in the daylight. There is so much to clean and fix in a 100 year old house...my OCD is completely in overdrive.
You'd think out of two sane parents one of us would be able to tell the other one to chill, but I think Max and I just drive each other farther. For example, I know that he is working his tookus off in the backyard building a garage/house, and I know there is nothing that can be done about the back yard construction site. So what do I do? I guess I'll just give the front of our house a little makeover. If the back is a mess, we at least want to put our best foot forward in the front right? We don't want all of the neighbors thinking we are crazy...even if it's true.
I've hated the colors on the front of our house since we've moved in. That's five years folks. Savannah agreed...and together we picked out a coastal blue called night tide and started to work.
One thing led to another and before we knew it we were all decked out with a newly painted door, front porch, and some flower beds to help it all pop.
Mission accomplished! The front of our house no longer looks like an old maid lives here.
Now for the back....just in case you didn't know....this is what it looked like on 1/1/13
Max has spent countless evenings and nearly every weekend buidling the entire thing by himself.
The outside is now completely weather proof. The roof is on and we are currently working on putting the siding up on the exterior.
It won't be long now. We can't wait to get started on the interior.
But first we need a few long naps. Why do we do this to ourselves?
