The befores are on the left and the afters are on the right.
The gutters no longer fit, so we will replace those soon - possibly this weekend. Everything needs another coat of paint once the weather is warmer and dryer. And the deck is just temporary to get us through the winter.
I love that the trim is period/house appropriate now (including the "look" of windowsills). I'm also happy that we were able to find a storm door, off the shelf...on clearance. Yup. We only spent $62 on what normally costs $249. So we can live with the brass handle and kick - for now.
We inherited a brass handle and kick which I tolerated far longer than I should have. Finally we tracked down the manufacturer and special ordered one in nickel....what a happy day that was! Hope the same is in your future...
ReplyDeleteFor sure - at some point. I actually thought I'd hate it more than I do. But it does look a little odd next to the regular door handle (the rubbed bronze look) that we decided for re-use.
DeleteThat's a big job. It's looking really nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And it ended up being much bigger (and more expensive) than we hoped.
DeleteThis looks amazing! I love the color and the whole thing just looks so much crisper and cleaner!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And there's not any mold nor any leaks!
DeleteIt looks awesome! Love the color and what a great find on the door!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's nice to see the photos next to each other - it gives us a little perspective. We definitely got lucky with the door!
