I'm back after having a month off from Fun and VJs - my long service leave, so to speak...
Really, there hasn't been a great deal going on around here during my little break. The weather has been either crazy hot or crazy stormy. Needless to say the renovating mojo is not strong in such trying conditions.
However one job which is finally finito is the painting of all the exterior timber window and door frames. They were previously cream and now they are white. Surprise, surprise! We are of the white window and door frame school of thought.
Here are a couple of after shots:
And here are a couple of before shots...in cream :

It was a relatively small job but it packs a lot of impact. It is fresher and more importantly it is how the house was originally.
Yay ... you're back! Love the blue and white for sure. Must remember to take a peak when I next drive past (my SIL has lived just around the corner for 17 years).
ReplyDeleteoh then you have drop in! You can only see the windows from the back or side yard. Thanks for leaving a comment after my extended break. xx
DeleteI'd feel slightly stalkerish if I did that, Brismod. Extended break? That's nothing compared to me. Did a post about a month ago after about ... pooh, a year or more?
DeleteHaha! Don't feel stalkerish. It's like I already know you! xx
DeleteOnly wish I could drop in, but I'm clear across the Pacific from you. I've loved watching your works in progress, especially the clever ways you've sourced repairs for your amazing house. Exciting to see the interview with the architects, especially. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Oona! Yes, it would be tricky to just drop in from where you are!xx
DeleteI agree that it makes a ton of difference. Good job! I'm glad to see you off "leave." I've missed your posts.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks so much Dana. I'll pass on your praise to Jason since he is the painter around here. xxox
DeleteI was wondering what you were up to! Must be the time of year for blog breaks..... Paint looks great!!
ReplyDeleteJust a little hiatus. Paint is a miracle worker! xx
