I am pretty proud of this front door and we're not even quite finished! We still need the new light fixture, the porch floor to be painted and a new mailbox but you can get the idea! My contractor said that this paint color on the door was not even in his realm of possible ... but he likes it! AND, he said it shows him that he needs to think about the door color as an accent color! YES!

| My plan is coming together! |
Thanks to my friend, Linda Carr Carrion, I have been learning a new skill! I have learned how to put photos side-by-side so that you can easily see before and after photos. My new skill has caused me to realize how much more careful my photography needs to be. Trying to get the exact perspective from one photo to the next is an entirely different skill. One that I have not mastered! Sigh!
So the before and after above didn't work out so well. See what I mean about perspective? I'll have to keep practicing.
(Guess I should have put shades up on the third floor before I took this?)
But, Ta-da! Our new old house, approaching the finish line.
Oh! And we're still waiting for the new column which will go on that pier on the left. It is being custom made by the cabinet maker! He is nothing short of awesome. His name is Phil and he is the owner of Sound Pointe. This is his facebook page - scroll through his photos. In addition to custom cabinets he restores historic homes and he is currently working on an antebellum home in Edenton, NC.
Til next time ...
