Renovations

We moved into a new house a year ago. It's been a long year. We renovated porches, painted walls, laid sod, and I learned how to stain pantry cabinets. Now we are redoing tubs since the previous owner painted them and they started to chip and peel.

The porches were really a process since we have quite a few porches. The first porch we just stained it a darker color. Then the next one we changed up by painting the floor midnight blue and the rails a mix or blue and brown. Well we liked that porch so much we had to go back and repaint the floor and the rails on the first porch. Then the balcony we changed up the rails a bit and went with a brown paint instead of the stain with the midnight blue. We also added more wood to close off the crawlspace so animals can't get under house and stained it to match the porches.

We also had two new exterior doors installed. We changed over the old sliding door into a french door. Which technically is a backdoor but the front of our house was in what I felt was the backyard. So we switched it up and it just works so much better now. We just painted them with a peppercorn exterior paint.

Now we are painting the tubs with that tough as tile paint. Since as I said previous owner painted them and within six months they started to chip and peel. So far its a little work and yes they don't look like brand new tubs. They look a ton better than being a white tub with a tan showing where it had peeled.
