Our house is changing colours!! The work is finished!!!

Our house is with a redish brickstone. But because after 10 years it still has lots of white coming out of the stones, we have decided to have it painted!!
This is how was

And this is how it looks after 1 layer of paint; not everything is painted yet, so that's why a part is still red:). That brown is tape, it will be removed as soon as all the painting is done!!

It looks fantastic! Your house is amazing!

I've seen your gardens, but I don't recall EVER seeing your house before. How lovely!

The paint job is really nice, too. Stunning effect!

That is exciting! I like the new look.

I am doing some painting this spring and summer as well. I have a gray cape cod style home with maroon shutters. I am going to have the shutters, my front door and my side Bilco door painted. I am looking at a deep plum color.

I love seeing before and after shots of renovations.

Beautiful! I love your house, and the white paint gives it a great new clean look!:)

Very nice I would say. I am sure the house would look lovely after everything's done. It looks so neat and tidy where the painting has been done. :)

I really love your house Lut. I think the painted brick look is nice, and I love the color you selected. I have always loved your landscaping. I wish I could get landscape type of plants to live in our soil. The only things that will live in my soil are native plants and a few varieties of azaleas. We jokingly tell our friend, that if they need any plants killed, let us plant it. I know in Belgium the soil is real sandy which makes planting easier. We have about a foot of very acid topsoil then it is solid clay underneath.

It sound like you are describing our house with the color of the house and shutters. My wife repainted our front door last year, yes it was a deep plum.

Love your house! Your garden is beautiful too!

It looks beautiful.:)

Thanks everybody!!!!:love:

I will post new pics when it's all done :)

Beautiful, indeed. Well done!

I simply love the transformation. well done. you have a beautiful home.:)

Your house was beautiful before the paint job but now it looks absolutely wonderful. Your painters did a fabulous job. Looking forward to seeing pictures when the project is completed.
How did the Gabriels Girls take to all that activity?

-Zazou & Snoopy who never go outside, were a bit shy at first, but now they are watching the painters all day!! Someone has to supervise hey;)
- Inka Poor thing is not allowed to go out too now because the 2 gates that are always closed, are wide open now!! If she would get to the front, she would not find her way back and get lost!! She is our CH-cat!!

-And Maya ??is not happy with this because we cannot open the door through which she always goes into the garden......:rolleyes:. She is upstairs now, from where she can view it all, together with Zazou:)

W:eek:W

Good morning my lovely Inka,
I saw on the compooter that your house is getting a make-over. It looks so nice! Having all those strange people around your house doing all that work must be disruptive for you and your sisters since you can't go outside to play. I know what to do, come to Trenton and stay with me until everything goes back to normal. I'll call Meowmie at her office and tell her to bring home lots of shrimp so we can have our own private party. Call me on my cell phone so we can arrange your flight. I cannot wait for you to get here!

Purrs, headbumpies, kitty hugs, and kitty kisses,
Love :love: :love: :love:
Your devoted Groucho :love: :love:

The works are done!!
We are very happy with the result!!

Looking good Lut. Your home is beautiful!:)

Lut, like Freedom said, I had seen your lovely gardens before,but never your house. It looks so beautiful! Very modern, lots of windows in the back, and a wonderful backyard. I love painted brick.

It would help me some if you could post pics of the inside. :D I like to see homes so different in style from my own. I, too, have a cape cod style home. It is getting a refreshing paint job in May- not to the brick...just the foundation and eves.

I absolutely love the results! :love::D I especially love the last picture, the DUCKIES!! :D:love:I love them! Great work done! :)

GORGEOUS!!!!! You must be so happy!

Wow! It's like you got a brand new house! It looks great! And if you get very hot summer days the white will help reflect some of the heat away.

Beautiful!:D
