BOULDER FLIP BEFORE AND AFTER PART 1

Y'all..... you are going to know this is not my usual post.  Unfortunately I have some heavy stuff going on in my life at the moment so this is the best I can do right now....I know you will understand.....after all some of you have known me 10 years!  We are friends right?

I promise more pics of my time in Boulder next week.  As usual it wasn't quite finished when I left so I have them taking a few pics for me to use in the post revealing all that we did.

What I do have today are some before and after of the outside.

We all know that paint can be one of the biggest game changers there is!

And....once again here is proof! All new windows added....new iron railing on the Juliette balcony.

On the side of the house was this cute little "she shed"

Paint and a new light fixture.....

Landscaping made a big difference....

Along with the driveway style...

You can see the garage door was finally painted dark....to balance out the dark window on the opposite side.

New railing and the deck was sanded and stained.

I believe the colors are BM China White and BM Iron Mountain.

So look....I hope you can bear with me on some not so "sherry style" post for a minute....

I'm doing the best that I can right now holding on to normalcy but as in life.... this too shall pass....

BEFORE AND AFTER

I have a little curb appeal for you today!  You remember how I went on and on about my outside paint color BM China White.

That it was the best white  absent of blue, yellow or any of those yucky undertones that can make you want to punch white in the face sometimes.

Here is Amy and Chris's house [Chris is my stepson].  They asked me for paint colors and well I was happy to shout out "BM China White" hands down...without a doubt....if you don't paint it that color then I will make fun of any other color you might choose.

Before it was yellow with black shutters.

Now she is sporting a whole new look with BM Kendall Charcoal on the shutters, the porch floors and BM Whythe Blue on the door.  

Oh Mommie.....I want to paint my door this color so badly.  And I love that they kept the old brass hardware.

We cut Whythe Blue by about 75% to get a much lighter version for the ceiling.

They only moved in last fall and the house sits back from the street with a lot of mature trees surrounding.  I think the lighter color and the brighter blue door will help it get noticed and isn't that what we all want.....just to be seen:)

In other news....I have been shopping for a small table to go in front of a window seat.  Lord people there are very few small tables to be found.

Here is my inspiration picture.  I was going to have this one built for a million dollars but that pushed it slightly over budget.

I have been looking at flea markets for something that could be painted.

Here are a few contenders.

Pretty but a little small.

Perfect size....

Again...good size but needs painting.

Love the wooden top....

Gotta make a decision soon....

OK....just in case anyone out there has some info to share with me I am going to use this blog to shake it out of you.

I have posted many times about my dogs and the one who just recently had his spleen removed.  

He is Zipper, my male sheepdog.  I had to return  him to GVS for 3 days because he could not keep any water down.  After all of the testing.......  it's  been diagnosed as a bad motility problem which means he has a hard time moving food through his body.

 Apparently this was also the cause of his twisted stomach, inflamed spleen and constant bloating which have all cost me a small fortune.

So.....long story short....low fat diet, gas ex, and a medication everyday.  If anyone has had any experience with this complication....please share. 

Desperate Mommie.

Scott's is coming up and I am one excited puppy.
