Shoreline Transforming....

This was Shoreline Drive when we bought it. (I wish we would have taken pictures of what it looked like BEFORE we cleared the yard of years of overgrowth....)

Now....after a new roof, paint, shutters....it's starting to look like ours........



I think the color works so much better! I can't wait to attack and update the doors and windows....then landscaping.....sigh. Doesn't the list grow long?


However, before we attack anymore of the outside, it's time to start on the inside.
Demolition of the 1970's kitchen starts tomorrow!

I LOVE the painted brick! It makes it look like a totally different house, love the color palette you picked! You really have a gift, Florence!

I have lived in my house for over 15 years, Flo, and we have YET to make it our own. Finances have always been a problem. Now, that I'll be working, I'm looking forward to making our house a home, too. We have lemon yellow formica countertops in the kitchen and wood paneling in the living room. The carpet throughout the house was obviously "updated" in the 80's as it is mauve or "dusty rose" that was so popular back then. I may just rip it up with my bare hands when we get to it!
I love your house's new look! It must finally be feeling more like home to you and your family.

Love it! I love the colors you picked- I wanted something similar, but we had to work with the brown shingles that we already had. Can't wait to see more!
