Curb Appeal

Ok, so this is a filler post since we don't have alot  to show in the way of tangible progress lately. Immediately after making an offer on the house, we got a little overzealous and explored options to add some curb appeal to the house. (If only renovations were as qiuck as they are in photoshop)

Sometime in the '60's the owner of the house decided to "modernize" the front porch by removing the tapered columns and putting in the faux wrought-iron "gems" that are there now. There is also a cheap hardware store light fixture to top it off. The decorative shutters and bright red trim aren't helping either. So, after our bedroom / bathroom renovations are complete, this is the next project on the list.

So far the only thing that we do have for the porch restoration is a period correct light fixture sans glass globe (thank you ebay). It's sitting in our growing pile of house parts in the basement.
