Our simple garage makeover


One of the things we really wanted in our new house was a carriage door for our garage. We had seen countless houses that had them, and then it just so happened the one we chose did not. Hmph.
Cue Amazon.
Did you know that you can buy embellishments to make your garage look as if it has the carriage door-like charm to it? Well, you can!
For under 25 bucks we scored a hardware set to spruce up the front of our home, and despite the hot weather, up it went.

Here is the builder's picture of what we started with:


We got a lawn, landscaping and a few lights, which helped to make our house a bit more homey, but the garage still lacked what we were looking for.



So here comes the hardware. 


 And here's what we have now!




One more time...before:



And after:



I think it really makes a big difference to the front of our house!
And with that there will be no more projects for us until Mother Nature decides to end her cruel joke. 

Stay cool this weekend, friends!

  10. There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment?s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
