the cedar option.

Just checking out what it would look like with the planned ripping off of siding (cos I could actually use that siding on the side of the house where I'll be doing some window renovating) and replacing with cedar shakes stained a dark brown to match the porch floor -

It needs a porch light similar to the one I just installed below. Hmm, undecided though ... If I did it I would do the same thing to the garage.

And ps - the new house numbers are on their way ...

  1. this is totally the ticket. love love love. it went from "what a cute house" with just the green to "i want to buy that fabulous craftsman". seriously, can't get over the difference with the cedar. go for it.

  2. Thanks. I was looking at the garage last night too and it would be easy enough to do the same thing with it - might just do it at the same time since I'd have the tools/ladders but thinking of holding off on painting the garage 'til next summer to, I dunno, preserve my sanity.

  3. is this the darker cedar? like it. might like the lighter a nip better, but this looks awesome. the garage? um...wow. i'll just say that sanity is a beautiful thing and leave it at that :o)
