This Month in Home Renovation

This month’s Pinterest inspired home renovation project has been in the works since July. We just needed a free day with nice weather, so we could air out any paint fumes. 

Here’s the before.

And the after.

What a difference! It’s just how I envisioned it and looks so much better against our new ceiling. As it turns out, I can’t smell anything, so the windows don’t have to be opened. I wish we hadn’t waited so long; we could have done this in August. And look at that beautiful wreath! My great-grandmother made that in the late 80s and it still looks perfect! 

With no yard to keep up this winter and dozens of ideas circling in my head, there’s no telling what we will decide to do next. Pump house? Window frames? Board and batten take two? French doors? Plantation shutters? All of the above?
