DIY Shutters and House Colors

It's been a few hectic weeks here lately.

Who am I kidding, it seems to always be hectic here.

Taylor was home for Spring Break.

Andrea and Caroline visited from Boston.

Caroline hung out with her cousins,

Emry and Matry!

There has been progress on Taylor's cottage, too.

Paint colors were finally chosen.

Thanks Andrea.

This is what we chose.

Remember before?

This is where we're at right now.

I went to HD and picked this up.

A couple of hours, some paint and screws and this is what I accomplished.

Shutters and trim around that tiny awkward window!

I also made shutters for this window.

I've planted some plants and will make the beds around them, kind of backwards, but the weather is perfect for planting right now.

I still have lots to do, like paint the sides.

But I am making progress.

Taylor will be moving back home in 6 short weeks!

Can't wait.

Here's one more before and after.

The magic of paint!

Today's progress.

Sorry if I rambled.
