This yr has been the (barely sudden) yr of our exterior renovation! And, truthfully, the home has by no means felt extra us. All of the renovations we have completed to our “Trendy Colonial” North Carolina dwelling really feel like they symbolize the weather that I liked a lot about our last house in Idaho. There’s this moody exterior with the copper and darkish trim. However I even have this purple brick, which I actually, actually love. It feels so sudden in a world the place individuals are portray their brick homes.

The humorous factor about our exterior makeover is that with some initiatives, from the very second you progress in you understand you’re going to redo one thing. Like a kitchen. Or your bed room goes to get painted. Otherwise you’re going to knock down this wall.

After which typically issues occur. You’re doing issues and it evokes you to do one thing else. Like, “Oh what if we did this!?” For our exterior, we knew we had been going so as to add a pool. We knew we had been going so as to add an out of doors kitchen. We really didn’t know that we had been going to color the trim. However we needed to get new home windows—we knew that once we purchased the home as a result of the home windows wanted change. It wasn’t till we acquired new home windows that we thought, “Effectively, will we need to paint the home windows?” After which with the brand new trim and window coloration, the gutters seemed horrible, so we changed the gutters. That is okay! You do not have to have all of it found out.

We changed the roof additionally, however we actually changed it with an identical shingles. I do know some individuals are like, “Why didn’t you select one thing completely different on the roof?” I don’t have any qualms with my roof, so I am not going to threat selecting one thing else that I won’t like!

There may be one factor left to do—above, there’s a door that leads into the eating time and on the left, there’s a door that leads into the lounge that we by no means ever use. We now have a window sitting within the storage (delivered with our different home windows) that we’re placing into the lounge to shut up that door, and make the lounge somewhat extra symmetrical. I do want we had the foresight so as to add 4 ft onto the eating room towards the yard to line up with the tip of the lounge. However now we are able to’t as a result of the mudroom is completed. It might simply mess every little thing up. All that to say, having an overarching plan earlier than you begin renovating does have its benefits. Nevertheless it’s okay!
