I would say it looks like this home is going to get new face lift on the outside. Are windows in the future? I can't wait to see what you are planning.
Good Morning Dan My Friend... I pray that everyone is doing well in your immediate family there, and that Jeffs' Nanny is doing better each and every day.
I am not thinking you are changing the outside, I think you are painting somewhere inside. Dining room? Kitchen? Maybe centering around that new hoosier you inherited with such pride. I can't wait to see dear friend. Post soon, you know we hate to be kept waiting now.
God leads us to the decisions we make. There may have been more to that house than the eye could see. I for one, am so thrilled you are staying you just got this house turned into a home. It is so you all, truly it is.
Oh before I forget, how is your sweet Paycee getting along? I can't wait to see how much she has grown.
Hope you have a beautiful day sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
My guess is that you are adding on to your house. These are the paint colors you chose and the chandelier to go along with the Pella windows and door. It's gonna be Colonial style. sandraallen260@centurytel.net

Where Did I Get My Door Box?
I receive so many comments asking me where I got my door box. So I thought I would answer the question here in my sidebar. I got my door box at The Olde Homestead in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. The lady who makes the door boxes is Tracie Hamler. She and her husband make them. They are wonderful door boxes and you will be very pleased with the quality. You can visit Tracie's website by clicking the picture of my door box.

Are windows in the future?

You were able to buy the colonial home that you saw for sale?
My guess is that you are adding on to your house. These are the paint colors you chose and the chandelier to go along with the Pella windows and door. It's gonna be Colonial style.
