Back in April, I posted a project that had absolutely nothing to do with our home improvement, but instead, focused on our neighbor’s house. :) They were in serious need of an exterior paint job, and we {including my parents} were ready and willing to help out! It took just one sunny Saturday, and the six of us managed to double-coat their house and give it a much-needed facelift! The results were fantastic, but the transformation didn’t end that day. I had mentioned that they were going to add an accent color {in the cranberry family} to their front door, and they were also getting some new, black shutters. A few of you commented that you’d love to see their place with everything completed, and now that it’s complete {okay, okay…it was done probably a month and a half ago} I am happy to oblige!
Here it was after we painted back in April...
...and here it is today! Quite the charmer, don’t you think? :)
That's gorgeous. I'll have to remember that color combo!
ReplyDeleteRight, it's such perfect and traditional pairing!
DeleteWhat a cozy house to go home to! Love what the bright door and addition of shutters did for this sweet house!
ReplyDeleteI agree...those two things really made it come alive! :)
DeleteWOW!! What a big difference those shutters and paint make!! Their home looks amazing now!!
ReplyDeleteLove how little things can make such an impact! :)
DeleteWow is right! Total transformation! I love red doors! They look good year round!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! They are a wonderful statement! :)
DeleteThis looks fabulous!! What a difference in curb appeal. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree...so pretty!
DeleteIt looks awesome! I love the way the shutters finish things off!
ReplyDeleteMe too...they made such a difference!
DeleteIt looks much improved. I really like the shutters and that red door really pops. You guys are good neighbors to help them paint.
ReplyDeleteThey are awesome neighbors to have, so it's the least we could do! :)
DeleteI like the color combo very much bad! If that is even a real way to feel... :/
ReplyDeleteHaha...it's definitely a real way to feel! ;)
DeleteAwesome curb appeal!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!
DeleteCute! Can you guys come by my house? We could use a paint job! ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course...we're on our way! ;)
Deleteit looks beautiful!!! i think we need some neighbors like you :).
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! :)
DeleteWhat an awesome transformation! It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYea, it really brought the house to life!
DeleteI love that you helped them out! The colors are perfect together, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! :) I love them too.
DeleteOh my gosh! That is amazing. I love the contrast of the black shutters.
ReplyDeleteFor sure...I do too! :)
DeleteYou guys are amzing for doing this! It looks 100 times better. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy! :)
DeleteIt looks so great!! We have a majorly 'in-need-of-a-paint-job' neighbor as well and would be more than happy to help them out, but not quite sure how to bring it up in fear we might insult them!! Mind if I ask how you went about talking to them?
ReplyDeleteI think our situation is a little different than most. From the minute we moved in, we made friends with them...and have actually grown quite close over the months. We knew it was on their to-do list and just told them what day we were all going to get to work on it and just planned it that way. Sorry I'm not more of a help! :)
DeleteLove your neighborhoods and the surrounding environment, seems to be a great place to own a home of your own, very lucky you people.
