The Bois Bungalow

I thought I would post some before and after pictures of some more recent projects. I feel like I don't post on here often enough, so I thought I would put up some pictures :) The shed on the day of the inspection, before we purchased the house. About four years later with a new door post scraping/prepping for paint. After, painted with Bunglehouse Blue by Sherwin Williams and white trim Our bedroom window. Broken window pane and old paint.  New window paint and fresh paint! The house a few years ago, before we put in the picket fence.  The house a week ago while the guys were scraping/prepping for paint. The house tonight, post paint job :) The house years ago in all its yellow glory. Tonight with a fresh paint job.  Again, years ago.  And tonight, with our incomplete privacy fence. It is replacing that shabby picket fence.  And here are some fencing pictures. We've

We had the house painted this week! We hired a professional and it was completely worth not having to do it ourselves. They spent two days prepping the house. They pressure washed, scraped, sanded, caulked, primed and then painted. We chose Sherwin Williams Bunglehouse Blue for the body, white for the trim, Atmospheric for the porch ceiling and Iron Ore for the window and porch floor.

On Labor Day weekend, we will demo our sunken patio in the backyard and plan on getting that completed by fall. We have ordered some more fencing so that we can take down the rickety fence between the front/backyard and between ourselves and the neighbor. That will completely fence in our backyard and we will have 100% privacy. Our backyard will be our own little oasis! Here are some pictures to show you how far our woodwork has come: This is what the woodwork looked
