Love the transformation! :D:D:D

Kitsie 07-17-2011 08:32 AM

Envy, envy! My favorite style! Great work on it!

I have always loved the Craftsman-style houses. Love the built-ins and everything. Maybe - someday - we will be settled again and be able to find one.

Love the updated version. Have to have the front cleaned up so that you can sit on the porch. I hate having bushes 'in my face'. I would love to cut down the bushes of the house we are in now. Landlord said OK husband says NO. Oh well.

Beautiful

So much nicer with out the bushes...I finally took all of mine out this year...the Hubby had a fit at first but now agrees it looks so much better. I just love your house!

Sandee 07-17-2011 08:54 AM

You've done a great job! I absolutely love that style of house! I'm very jealous!!!

oma66 07-17-2011 09:04 AM

You have a lovely home. The wide steps to the front porch and the porch are so inviting to sit on and wave Hi! to the neighbors. Very inviting home.

Beautiful!

blueangel 07-17-2011 09:45 AM

Looks nice

Novice.for.now 07-17-2011 09:47 AM

Beautiful home...and ohhh, I love that front porch. Always wanted one like that but don't think it will ever happen. Enjoy it for me, ok?

jlm5419 07-17-2011 09:57 AM

Lovely home.

jrharry 07-17-2011 11:46 AM

Lovely! You have done a great job and it looks so nice.

Love those Craftsman houses.

rootyr 07-17-2011 12:07 PM

Awesome!

gramqlts 07-17-2011 12:52 PM

I love it...you have a right to be proud!!!!

grammiepamie 07-17-2011 02:14 PM

I just love it. The color and especially the red door and trim. I love old country homes. I have 1 pecan tree in my backyard but I think it is a sick tree. I am always afraid of high wind. It might fall over. It is really tall.

Jingle 07-17-2011 02:52 PM

Beautiful home, always worth the hard work.

twixbar 07-17-2011 02:54 PM

Absolutely Beautiful.

Stitchnripper 07-17-2011 03:19 PM

that's such a pretty home. You did a great job with the landscaping and painting.

annthreecats 07-17-2011 03:37 PM

I love it without those bushes. The low landscaping lets everyone see the beautiful home. Nice job.

Froggiey 07-17-2011 04:00 PM

Very beautiful! Love the porch. Looks like your area in Texas is not as dry as the rest of us. Thanks for showing your beautiful home.

quilter68 07-17-2011 04:05 PM

Beautiful!

Yea, we are dry, this was taken last summer after the paint was done andnow my poor plants out front need water bad! Lost one of my butterfly bushes and a couple of roses but the Blue Plumbego (sp??) is thriving in the heat!

I love it!

thenonnielady 07-18-2011 03:14 AM

beautiful home. Love your front porch

piepatch 07-18-2011 03:41 AM

Very, very pretty and comfortable home. I love the pale green and red together, and oh, the pecan trees! I wish I had one or two of those!

suekenyon 07-18-2011 03:46 AM
