Not exactly the "something else" I was hoping to see.

 :naughty:

Nice house though.

The house is finally finished being painted (they finished Tuesday).  Here are a few pictures, my daughter resized the pictures so they are smaller than if I would have done it.

I wanted larger shutters, my husband ordered 16" wide, I wanted 18".  They had 14" wide shutters on there before.





We are having the awnings remade that go on the side/back windows.  They should be done in about a week.  They will be black. 



Here is the new doorbell and mailbox.  The new house numbers haven't gotten here yet.  The mailbox used to be by the other door (the one that goes to the study).  People didn't know which door was the front door even though the front door has glass in it and the other one doesn't (and it had a doorbell).  So we decided to put the mailbox by the front door even though it makes more sense to have the mailbox by the study door because that is where I put the mail when it comes. 



I got new porch furniture about a month and a half ago.  It was fairly inexpensive as far as outdoor furniture goes.  I had two ceramic birds sitting on the table.  I forgot to put them back on it after we moved the furniture back in place.

Beauty!  And I love the door.  Your house is beautiful, even if it is in CA.  C'mon, you know as well as I that houses with that kind of character cannot be found in Dallas, unless you have a bazillion dollars.

Ya done good.   :cheersmate:

Oh you can find a ton of houses that have that kind of character and more in Dallas for cheaper than what we paid for this house.  There are some beautiful old neighborhoods in Dallas.  

Thanks for the nice comments Deb!!   :-*

Gorgeous! BEG I love what you've done to this house! It really looks like it could be in a magazine. No kidding.

What do the neighbors say? I hope they like what you've done to improve their property values!

Wow.  Your place is so beautiful.  I love looking at well-kept and landscraped houses and neighborhoods. 

We have nothing like that here.  No where in the state.  Not even Jackson(Cali East).

The neighborhood is hit and miss actually.  There are really nice houses that have been kept up or remodeled and their yards are kept really nice then there are houses that look like they are falling apart with yards to match.  I think that is the pitfalls of older neighborhoods.

I'd trade the nice yard and beautiful weather (I am starting to really like the weather) for Texas (or anywhere in the middle of the US) anyday.

For those of you who look at this post again, do you think a small porch swing in the back of the porch (on the left of the picture) would be too much stuff for the porch?  We found a 4' wood swing that is painted black (they also have it in white) at Lowes today that was inexpesnive.  My girls really want a swing but I worry that it would be too much.  There is a large area where there isn't anything, you can see where the chairs are on the right in the picture to get a sense of the area.  I was thinking of putting several potted plants back there but since we found this swing I am seriously considering it. 

Also which color would you get, Black or White?  There will be black awnings on the two windows on the left, the gate is black, the mailbox, doorbell, house numbers and shutters are also black.

A four-foot swing doesn't sound out of place.  I would paint it white to match the rest of the house.

I immediately thought "white" when I saw the word swing.

White swing, seat cushion and pillows to blend in with the porch furniture. And potted flowers, of course!  :-)
