YOUR HOUSE IS NOT A HOME UNTIL YOU MAKE IT ONE



WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TAKE A VICTORIAN & MAKE IT A MODERN FARMHOUSE....I NEVER SAID THAT.
I HATED TO LOSE THE ARCHITECTURE BUT I'M NOT PAINTING THE HOUSE AGAIN (IT IS BEING RECYCLED SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE)

BEFORE (I KNOW THE GINGERBREAD WAS GREAT)

I MADE THIS FENCE ONE WINTER IN MY BASEMENT IT WAS 50 FT LONG



BACK OF THE HOUSE BEFORE


AFTER


SHIPLAPPED ONE END



FISH TANK BOTTOM WITH A DOOR TOP



EVERYONE NEEDS A FOUNTAIN




AND PLANTS



GOT A GREAT DEAL ON THIS PANEL. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE. IT WAS IN A BOX ALL TAKEN APART, THOUGHT WE'D TAKE A CHANCE ON IT.....GLAD WE DID.....WISH I HAD MORE AT THE PRICE I PAID FOR THIS!!




LUV THE WAY THE RAILING TURNED OUT, I DESIGNED IT





BEFORE



DURING, HURRY UP!!!






DONE!!!!  I FOUND 4 WOOD PANELS AT A SALE & KNEW THEY'D COME IN HANDY FOR SOME PROJECT.....LITTLE DID I KNOW IT WOULD BE FOR THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, DOUBLES FOR THE FRONT DOOR & A SINGLE FOR THE SIDE PORCH & 1 TO SPARE (THEY ARE INTERIOR FOR SOMETHING). I'LL HAVE A PLAN "B" WHEN THEY CRAP OUT lol






TRIM AROUND THE WINDOWS WAS TOO WIDE FOR SHUTTERS, SO I SAVED SOME MONEY THERE, BUT I DO LUV MY SHUTTERS, AND I LIKE THE LOOK



WE WERE TAKING PICS FROM ALL ANGLES





THIS IS THE JUT OUT OF THE PORCH, I HAVE 3 FRONT DOORS





















THESE WERE USED AT THE GLAMPER




SO WERE THESE



NO DEAD BODIES










THESE WERE MORE ROTTEN THAN WE THOUGHT SO CHOP CHOP THEY WENT






NEW PORCH












39 FT HAND RUBBED BY ME




NEW PORCH LITE & ENAMEL NUMBERS (THEY'RE GIGANTIC)



HAD TO ADD THIS SOMEWHERE





MAIN FRONT DOOR


THE PEAK OF THE PORCH JUT OUT I HAPPENED TO HAVE SOME PIECES OF CEDAR SIDING THAT LOOKED SANDED SO I ASKED THE GUY IF HE COULD USE IT INSTEAD OF WHAT'S ABOVE THE OTHER PEAKS





WE WRAPPED THE POSTS IN WEATHERED WOOD SIDING, ADDED A RAIL & THE CURVED OUT METAL INDIVIDUAL RAILING SLATS






        WE THOUGHT THE RAILING WAS GOING TO BE TOO HIGH, THE OLD ONE WAS 26 & THE NEW 32, BUT IT WORKED OUT, THAT'S WHAT I WAS MOST NERVOUS ABOUT IF THE RAILING WOULD LOOK GOOD.....THEN I THOUGHT, WE LIKE IT THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS (ISN'T IT)?





I LUV MY RAILING



EVERYTHING WAS UPROOTED & TRANSPLANTED IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT........YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL IT WAS PULLED OUT







ANOTHER THING THAT MADE ME  NERVOUS. I  HAD TO  TO TEAR OUT ALL THE PLANTS & MY MOMS FERNS & CORAL BELLS. WHEN IT CAME TIME TO TRANSPLANT THEM AGAIN (IN THE EXACT SPOTS) THEY DID WELL & YOU COULDN'T TELL I DUG THEM UP. THIS IS WHAT MADE ME THE  MOST NERVOUS......LOSING MY MOMS PLANTS & FERNS





I LUV MY GATES











BACK DECK BEFORE



PUT A GALVANIZED ROOF OVER THE SECOND LEVEL WITH 2 OLD DOORS ON EACH SIDE




AN OLD LIGHT & CORBELS


 

AN OLD CHANDY & SHIP LAP ON ONE END



 PLANTS MAKE EVERYTHING BRIGHT & HAPPY





 




FOUNTANS MAKE EVERYHTING PEACEFUL & CALM









 

LUV THIS FOUNTAIN I MADE WITH A HEAD FROM CT & A BATH TUB FROM WHO KNOWS WHERE, A DOOR FROM SOMEWHERE & FLOATS FROM CT

















THIS IS WHAT I ALWAYS PAINTED, I HATED SCRAPING SO I DID A LITTLE BUT BASICALLY PAINTED OVER LUMPS lol  I'M NO REMBRANDT
