Fresh new paint!

The finished product!

The fabulous prep work...and Dan waving at the camera.

The test patch on the garage and more prep work.

My handsome husband holding our new favorite smoothie!

Glowing eyes in the window!


Better shot of the new garage lights. Not the best angle of the house. Although it's small (about 1200 sq ft), it's not that small :)




Here are the before and after pics of the house. We love having a nice neutral palate as opposed to the blue house with maroon doors...yuck. We (ahem...Dan) installed garage accent lights and a new porch light as well. Small details make a big impact! Dan has done an amazing job being a "handyman". He has installed lights inside and outside the garage, built shelves in the garage, built a stand for our front loading washer and dryer (they wanted an extra $100+ dollars for a stupid pedestal), and bought and installed new doors in the house (thank you craigslist!) just to name a few. This house has come along way since we moved in 11 months ago. A big thank you to my wonderful husband for making this OUR home.

Awesome!!!! You guys did a fabulous job, seriously. :) It looks so clean and precise--the white trim would have probably ended up smeared in funny places if it was me. I love the colors you chose. The lights and the new door also really add to the charm. You guys are pros!

Congrats on making it "your" house!

Kendra...you are too sweet as usual. We actually hired pro's to do this job. After painting our living room we knew we couldn't do an entire house :) Thank you for the well wishes though. I can't wait to have you, Mark and baby Butler over when you come back to the US. Miss you always!
