We Did It!

We painted our house, brick and everything.

It has been on our to do list since we moved in a year ago. Nobody in our neighborhood has painted brick, but we have always loved it. It made some of our neighbors a little nervous. They should just be thankful we didn't paint it pink. I would LOVE to live in a pink house.

I really want to get new white windows now. Since my money tree is not blooming, I had to come up with a creative solution. So I hung some old stained glass windows in front of the existing windows:

I also painted some pots with black and white stripes:

And hung a chandelier by the front door:

And Marcus finally hung my hose holder with the pink hose he got me last summer.

He said the hose is terrible...but it's pink so who cares. Form over function is what I say!

And here is the house BEFORE we moved in:

And here is the AFTER again:

Ta Da!

Of course you know when I say "we painted the house" I really mean Marcus painted the house.

Thanks husband!
