This 12 months has been the (barely sudden) 12 months of our exterior renovation! And, truthfully, the home has by no means felt extra us. All of the renovations we have carried out to our “Fashionable Colonial” North Carolina dwelling really feel like they characterize the weather that I cherished a lot about our final home in Idaho.

It feels so sudden in a world the place persons are portray their brick homes.

After which typically issues occur. You’re doing issues and it evokes you to do one thing else. Like, “Oh what if we did this!?” For our exterior, we knew we have been going so as to add a pool. We knew we have been going so as to add an outside kitchen. We really didn’t know that we have been going to color the trim. However we needed to get new home windows—we knew that after we purchased the home as a result of the home windows wanted change. It wasn’t till we bought new home windows that we thought, “Nicely, can we need to paint the home windows?” After which with the brand new trim and window coloration, the gutters seemed horrible, so we changed the gutters. That is okay! You do not have to have all of it discovered.

There’s one factor left to do—above, there’s a door that leads into the eating time and on the left, there’s a door that leads into the lounge that we by no means ever use.

I do want we had the foresight so as to add 4 toes onto the eating room towards the yard to line up with the top of the lounge. However now we are able to’t as a result of the mudroom is finished. It could simply mess the whole lot up. All that to say, having an overarching plan earlier than you begin renovating does have its benefits. Nevertheless it’s okay!
