The top is the set of doors going into the house (through the mud room into the kitchen/family room), and the bottom is going into the garage. We'll definitely stain them at some point, but for now they just have a sealant on them. They're so pretty the way they are. I love the way they bring light into the house, but still look substantial.
Item B:
This is clearly not an updated picture, but you can still see how fluid the transition is between the house and the back porch (I hope). It would be nice if it works out for the back porch to be an extension of the living area of the house in a meaningful way.
Also, I went by the house today in hopes of getting some better pictures of our shiplapped areas. Some of the pictures worked,
But some didn't.
I do NOT know why I'm totally unable to take a clear picture of that shiplapped wall. Maybe I'm subconsciously wishing to have some kind of super-fabulous reveal. Anyway, you get a good impression of it from this picture. I love it. Love love lovey love love.
And the middle shiplap picture above is our mudroom area (note the lovely doors to the left, kitchen to the right). That shiplap will be the back wall behind our cabinetry "lockers" and bench, and I'm super excited that it will be there first thing I see when I come downstairs each day.
Number 3: One more update, and kind of a teaser. I'm contemplating exterior colors real hard.
I may or may not have gone a little nuts getting paint chips at the store. The swatches are just so pretty! I've narrowed it down to five, and I'll show you those once we get samples up on the siding. I will never not want to paint the house all of these colors, and I will never not have a secret (not so secret now) impulse to paint a house the color of a whole card--darkest color or the bottom, lightest color on the top, all the shades in between in the middle. Perhaps when I am old and wear purple I will.
