1908 home
Our house was built in 1908 and it was originally what is now called a foursquare, but the porch and dormer were removed and then during the 1940s it was made even more colonial looking by replacing the front door. After the last owners bought it, they put siding and plastic shutters on it and it was a shadow of it's former self. We're now in the process of trying to restore the outside (and the inside).
Before:
During (that's my handy hubby):
Now:
We found the original color underneath several layers of grey and white paint and chose the closet we could find. I think it looks happier
