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
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
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
