OUR FRESHLY-PAINTED HOUSE

We are very excited, after 10 years in our house, to have finally had it re-painted; it was well overdue.  Our house used to be a cream colour, with dark green trim, but it looks much nicer now ..... a mossy, lighter green on the exterior of the house, and all the handrails, window frames, and other external trims are off-white.

Firstly, I'll show you a shot taken down one side of the house, before it was re-painted. I took this in a bit of a panic, realising I hadn't photographed the house before the original paint was covered up - hence the table hadn't been moved:

........ and take a look at how nice it looks now:

MUCH better, don't you think?  I just love it, and Ethan thinks it looks "like a cottage" now.

Please overlook the state of the garden (the next project to be tackled!) in these photos.  Here is the street view of the front of the house:

For the last few years, I have HATED our carport.  It was never properly painted when our house was built, and the timber was very weathered and ugly.  I now get a lot of pleasure from the sight that greets me as I come up the driveway:

Finally, this is the view from the back yard (that's my craft room on the right-hand side of the rear of the house!):
