Exterior House Plans

This is probably one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Sounds dramatic, right? It’s not that bad, it’s just hard when you’re paying money for someone to do it and want it to look just right. Check out our exterior house plans.
Exterior House Plans

Before

While this picture isn’t the official before, it’s where our house is at right now. I guess that’s not totally true… since this picture we’ve ripped out most of the bushes on the right side of the steps. Once the house is painted, we’ll be re-landscaping the front yard (and then the back). It all just needs a little love and attention.

Exterior House Plans

The Inspiration/Plan

The colors we chose are Benjamin Moore colors. The house will be Revere Pewter, which is a warm light gray. We chose Chantilly Lace as our trim. It’s a warm, but not too warm white.

Our front door is already Gale Force by Sherwin Williams, but we will be having them paint the front door trim white with the rest of the house trim.

Look at the paint color combination I created with Benjamin Moore. Via @benjamin_moore. Siding: Revere Pewter HC-172; Trim: Simply White OC-117; Door: Newburyport Blue HC-155.

Curb Appeal DIY Details - Nesting With Grace

Of course, Nesting with Grace always inspires me. This was her house before they replaced their siding and chose a new color recently (she chose all white and I’m jealous a little, but anyway…). I love this look and while our house won’t be this color, I love the other elements at play here. Lots of great ideas for landscaping, front walkway, painted concrete steps (I got my inspiration from her), etc.

Anyway, stick around to see the progress on our house. We can’t wait to give it a fresh new look and can’t wait to show you all either. Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading, friends.

I was trying to post this with original audio of m I was trying to post this with original audio of me explaining each item and my thoughts on the price etc etc but apparently I don’t have that capability yet on IG… so, enjoy this reel and just know that I had a lot more to say. 😂
A little IG vs reality for ya. Swipe to see the mo A little IG vs reality for ya. Swipe to see the more realistic view (which is really not bad at all 😂).
I feel like my house is just constantly a mess, no matter how hard I try. Anyone else? It feels like I’m always behind, and to be honest, it bothers me a lot. It overwhelms me and stresses me out. It keeps me from being content and present. Between things constantly being broken (hello middle child) and just too much stuff in general.
Here’s what I’m working on to simplify and calm the chaos.
1. I’ve been removing all toys that don’t get played with often. We currently have magnatiles, Duplos, and race cars out. The rest have been moved to storage in the basement for the moment. We’ll see what we keep as my kids do sometimes notice toys they’re missing and ask for them.
2. I’ve been ruthlessly getting rid of stuff - whether donate or trash. If we don’t absolutely love it, or we have multiples, or no one touches it, or we have a huge pile of random papers and crafts. Gone. 😂 it’s so relieving.
3. I often have artwork and decor laying around because I don’t fully know where it’s going yet. I’ve been removing anything that doesn’t serve a purpose and have been putting it in basement storage. No point having it sit there and clutter. I’ll go get it when I’m ready to hang the picture or use the decor.
4. I’ve been re-assessing where we need more storage. I replaced a dresser that didn’t functional well with a $50 homeschool cabinet from FB marketplace and it’s been so much better.
5. As I remove things from our every day view, I’m noticing the ability to better enjoy the everyday messes and real life, because it isn’t so out of control and overwhelming.

I hope this is encouraging for mamas in the same boat ✨

We spent a lot of time in our front yard, but never really on our porch. I bought this porch paint months ago and finally got it done! Now our porch is a cozy place to sit ✨ Inspired by @mustardseedbeginnings super cute porch.

SO I decided I was going to make my own art for them. I found a fabric remnant at a local thrift store for $0.99 cents and voila. Took all of 5 mins ✨
