Quit holding your breath

Here is the last shot, the "before" of our humble abode. I love, love, love the color of our brick, but, sadly, the mortar and bricks were beginning to deteriorate. That led to water damage on the interior walls and ceiling, which meant I was never going to be able to paint or remodel. We had to get a handle on the leaking problem, so with much deliberation and multiple random opinions, we went with what we thought was the best solution. Seal our brick and mortar with paint. Plus, it does update the look of our house. Bonus!! Here is a shot of the house on the first day of it's transformation.

Now, we are 3 days into it. In the next few days, he is going to finish the top coat and begin to trim the doors, windows and roof line in bright white.

I think our landscaping is going to show better.


When it's all said and done, we will put back up our black shutters, hang a few black lights on the side of the door, and hopefully get some potted evergreens or topiaries next to the door. So far, I am giddy with the results and can't wait to see the finished project!
