Sounds like you & I have similar taste - or at least have the same sort of logic going on!<br /><br />Good luck on your hunt for a salvage door - I guess you will have an easier search than many people looking for an old door since you will be making a new opening and don't have to fit an old opening. <br /><br />And if your paint outside is in good condition that at least allows you look around for colors that you think look good and work in your neighborhood. Picking a paint color in a hurry is totally stressful.<br /><br />Love the dining room - can't wait to see what you do next!<br /><br />Cheryl<br />OrlandoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501578089892171146.post-19384972116417127092010-03-10T13:50:58.857-04:002010-03-10T13:50:58.857-04:00Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for all your great comments!
You...Hi Cheryl,<br />Thanks for all your great comments!<br />Your ideas for the front of the house sound exactly like what I'm planning: the deck should go to the corner of the house, and I definitely want to paint the house a better colour (though I'm not sure of the timeline for that, yet). As for the door, I'm planning to recycle an older wood one (once I find something suitable) - something with a couple of small glass windows at the top, perhaps. I think that's the best way to suit both the style/age of the house, and my budget!Kerry at just-you-waithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03212885854923724025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501578089892171146.post-40354349731624411922010-02-26T18:13:16.140-04:002010-02-26T18:13:16.140-04:00Just found you by way of Tearing up Houses (still ...Just found you by way of Tearing up Houses (still in Oct reading her numerous entries) and it looks like you are having fun along with the hard work.<br /><br />Glad to see that you are going about things in a logical fashion - getting the structure under control before doing major decorating projects that might get ruined by later structural work. And you have totally proven that ingenuity, organization and color can get you through not being able to do major decorating right away.<br /><br />I had some thought about your back of the house is now the front problem - I like the idea of moving the front door from the side to the front of the little bump out and the big wide steps down from a deck. But I would take the deck out to the corner of the house - so it would match the roof that goes to the corner. It kinda looks odd in the mock up picture. And I'm not sure I would do a glass door in your climate - not sures it really suits your house either. I'm hoping eventually you plan on painting a color - I am so tired of white houses - and you can do a wild color front door to coordinate and add interest.<br /><br />Good luck - it looks like you have a great place and wonderful support (Dad & your ladder holding friend sound priceless). Can't wait to see what you do next.<br /><br />Cheryl<br />OrlandoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501578089892171146.post-9268025749563375662010-01-31T21:01:03.285-04:002010-01-31T21:01:03.285-04:00LOL!
