Porch Addition

I have been feeling pretty 'blah' about blogging lately but oh well...

I will go ahead and post about our back porch addition as promised a while back.

Here is the best before picture I could find. No...we don't normally have that much of a mess in our back yard---we were heavily trimming the pecan trees so millions of little trees wouldn't pop back up in our flower beds come spring!

They probably will anyways...

Slow progress...
Nathan acting like he was working...
After lots of caulk, fresh paint and tedious porch railing painting it is finally finished!
I enjoyed it much better when it was decorated for Christmas!!Unfortunately this dreary, cold weather has given me no decorating inspiration so it looks pretty sad right now...

In the midst of the last project, I got motivated to finish a project that was long overdue.
Painting the front door.
(It wasn't quite this bad but it wasn't pretty---this is after some sanding & lots of paint peeling)
What do you think about the new color?
Well, that's all for now...maybe I will post something more exciting in the next few days!

Oh and to end on a high note...
He just melts my heart!! Isn't he precious?!?
