So glad you ripped that awful vinyl siding off! I'm curious, did you have the original plans to the house or archival photos to help guide you in your decisions? Did you find any ghost marks as a clue to the difference in size of the window openings between the first and second stories? It certainly looks approriate for the time period of the home. I love your color choices and I think It turned out very nice!Megan @ Restoring the Roosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665496470363819971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-11238111359234692092011-08-18T13:39:44.980-04:002011-08-18T13:39:44.980-04:00I just LOVE what you have done to your home.

A beautiful, thoughtful renovation filled with the love you have for your house. I love Sam. How lucky you and your house are to have found such an artist. That curved moulding. Swoon. Ahhh yes, the light. You will get used to seeing the new "highlights", and it's worth it to have all that lovely light in the entry! I love the entry mirror, and love it even more after reading that great story! I, too, think your kitty looking out the window should be in your header- so sweet!<br />I can only imagine how proud you house will be to welcome your Thanksgiving guest in all it's new-found glory!

I bet it is one happy house now. All your choices are spot on. I love the sidelights which are excellent for kitty-squirrel viewing, as you noted. I love the curved moulding at the stairwell- have never seen anything like that. Don't envy the priming and painting - I am doing the same to window trims now (including sanding) and it seems like I am getting one window done every month, so at this pace I will still be doing it next summer. I had the painting bug but it's tired and gone now. Now it is a chore.<br /><br />You have done your house proud! Just lovely - cannot wait to watch the progress. Are the exterior of your windows painted black - they look like steel but I guess they must be painted if you are painting interiors.<br /><br />xo's Terri<br /><br />P.S. Love the header. That vignette of the table with the architectural piece and such is just wonderful - it is sitting on my desktop so I can look at it every day....I switch around inspiration photos - there are always 3 or 4 on the go and that shot is there now...thanks!Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-57149058259331506522010-11-21T22:39:57.403-05:002010-11-21T22:39:57.403-05:00P.S.

It's amazing that it's the same house. I'm sure the house has to feel better with its historical details back intact. The colors are spectacular together, I love the glass in the sidelights and the porch is amazing. I kindof like the oak step. It adds a little modern element to the entrance. Did I mention the great door handle...I cannot wait to see it in the spring with the garden blooming - you've got to be the talk of the neighborhood.<br /><br />I think you should show us that artwork in the entry - <br /><br />I have a few exterior projects that need to be done - you and Sam want to visit NE? you're quite the team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-26725201425241360662010-11-21T21:37:38.789-05:002010-11-21T21:37:38.789-05:00Steve,
