Do you ever wish walls could talk? As Im walking through an older home this is always going through my head. I can’t help but think about all the stories an older home could tell us. I sometimes can even imagine it so clearly in my head of all the great memories that were created in a historic property.
From previous experience with building and remodeling, we quickly found out how spending a little more money on windows was well worth it. There are so many places that you can overspend on a build or remodel, but going for a higher end window is one place you will never regret.
From the beginning, Henry and I had in our minds we were for sure going with cedar shake roofing. After comparing prices, on cedar vs composite, and learning more about the upkeep and cons associated with cedar, we quickly decided to go the composite route.
Along with white, gray is one of those colors that is somewhat tricky. It can be a challenge to find the perfect gray you are looking for. Whether it be a light subtle gray or a dark moody one, there are so many different shades. Gray has so many undertones and can be quite versatile. Gray also creates such a clean, crisp look against white trim. It is pretty much the perfect option if you’re wanting to keep things neutral.
I built a crib mattress swing for my sister in law. We hung it on one end of her front porch. But since it is a very long porch, she needed something for the other side to balance things out. I had originally thought about building an identical swing, but decided to mix it up a bit and build two single swings. And since she has twin boys, the swings could be something that they would really enjoy.
