This is our house. It is our house with its first real face-lift. Lets just call it a nose job. For those of you following our website, facebook, and of course our blog, you've seen that the front of the house was cluttered and looked as though it needed a facial makeover. The porch sagged on the bottom and frowned on the top. We are excited to show you this first photo of home recovery for this pink house. Notice the raise in the porch, the stylish, yet countryish beams, and the beautifully poured new front porch. Those that have sat on this porch enjoying sunsets in the past are now smiling, because there will be lucky owners to enjoy the sunset in the future, but with a happier, and more confident pink house. Stay tuned because this baby, our baby, is going to look amazingly fantastic as the weeks progress. You wouldn't recognize her if you saw her on the street...she's a pink house and she's looking good.

Turn That Frown Upside-Down

Lights!
In our recent weekend rondevu with our home, placing final touches in the living room was essential. It's currently the oasis in our renovation desert of complete possibilities. We found many options for lights. For example, our living room had no main light, and simply had one small can light built into the ceiling. It was not centered in the room, neither horizontally or vertically. Odd, yes. However, we came up with a great plan.
Our home is French Country style (I mentioned that before - it's been in an identity crisis for a while now. We're providing therapy.) We are working to blend French country with our modern love for art, and our eclectic decorative items. With the lights, we chose a light bar that is both modern in sleek style, but old-worldish in color and shape. Placing a darker colored light bar on a white ceiling was a little out there for us, but it absolutely worked. The light bar is centered vertically, lights up the bookcase and that side of the room at night, while our floor lamp takes care of the rest. It is absolutely soothing and French Country stylish.
