Thens and Nows

I'm not even going to comment on the length of time in between posts.  All I will say is that one of my goals for this summer was to update the blog and seeing as how school starts in two days I figured I better get on it!  All before/after pics on this blog will hereby be known as then and now pics since I have come to the conclusion that we rarely ever actually finish something!  "After" implies that the project is done and "Now" gives us a little more in-progress wiggle room.  Please forgive the outrageous amount of pictures I'm about to post!

We'll start with the biggest project we've done lately.  We actually HIRED some people to paint the house!!!!  We got rid of "baby poo brown"...

and went with a nice gray with white trim.  Of course in typical Potter fashion, we couldn't actually let someone else do all the work.  We ended up have to rescreen the porch after they finished painting, redo the outside trim molding, and put in a new screen door.

This whole process took about 2 or 3 months.  Todd and I put the screens up one weekend and then waiting another two months until Don and Mary Kay came down to finish the project!

We also repainted the front door...

What do you think?
