I’ve been wanting to document our biggest project to date at the Hagood house, but I’m just slightly a year and a half behind on this post. I am still thrilled with how it came out and am so thankful that my hubby is handy and that we could hire his handy friend to do the paint job. So here’s the before, a little overgrown jungle-y and yes an entire window is blocked by a tree. Notice the columns & rails were had were very colonial very bland color pallet.
Well here she is with her new coat of paint, columns replaced, shuttered built by my handy hubby and painted a nice Homestead brown. Wood rails replaced with rod iron spindles, bushes removed (you might just be red neck if you remove bushes with your hubby's Jeep), large cedar cut down. Yay I couldn’t be happier with the results. We've been super busy, this past weekend, the handy hubby rented a super powered pressure washer and completely brought back to life our deck I swear it looks like it did when he built it. Those pressure washers are amazing, we even pressure washed cushions, wood bench, patio funiture, the outdoor rug, it'a amazing. There's still lots on the to do list: new roof $ yikes, paint the bench and rocking chairs, plant lots more flowers.
A side by side for good measure....
In more important news, this boy is loosing teeth like crazy, he's totally snaggle toothed and I love it :).
We've also discovered Colby's an artist, very proud that his catepillar art was on exhibit at the Shelby County Art show, had no idea but apparently it's quite an honor to be selected. I'm one proud momma! Next week he will round out his kindergarten year, we're very please with his progress and can't wait to see what 1st grade has in store for us, he's reading at level E and there's nothing better than the sound of him reading!
That'll do it for now, more projects around the corner.
