Possible Face Lift, House Colors


This is one version of what our house may look like after some new paint, decorative framework, and new transoms. The upstairs window would be recessed to the master bedroom so that we could screen in a private sleeping porch in the front gable. I'm not sure what exactly we'll end up doing with the transoms, maybe stained glass or leaded mullions. Have to take a look around the area to see what was appropriate at the time our house was built. S.L.C. has loads of restored homes in their downtown, hopefully some of them are from the same time frame. Keep in mind that the wooden baluster fence around the entire yard will be the light green color of the framework and trim.

Interesting! I love when people sketch their ideas out on paper :)

It is fun to put thoughts on paper, and it helps to pass the time when escrow draws on forever. Unfortunately we had to let this one go, the seller's got greedy and wouldn't cooperate at all. Just about broke my heart, too. At least until the house on Adams, talk about a real heartbreaker!
