Our new front porch, part two!

During the second summer of our project we caulked and primed and painted...and in some cases we then primed again and painted again.  Sometimes this farm project is two steps forward and five steps backward.  It's a miracle we make any progress sometimes!

I don't have any pictures of us doing all of this work...we were too busy working! But here are some "after" pics that show our finished product.  I can't wait to decorate my new porch with mums and furniture this fall!

 Look closely at this pic and you will also see the new roof on the farmhouse!

This is the new porch deck.  Our first coat of paint chipped over the winter and we weren't really happy with the color.  So this is our second and final color.  We had to sand and re-prime the entire porch (me and Dane) then give it a second coat of paint.  That was a lot of work!

 Surprise!  David and I debated whether or not to paint the porch ceiling blue, but then David decided, "why not!" so we went for it and we LOVE it.
