Little Old House: Almost There!
http://littleoldhouse.blogspot.com/2014/12/almost-there.html
Before and Happily After. Sunday, December 21, 2014. Just a day before my parents arrived for their vacation with us we had reached the following stage (of completion):. Also known as "AD" / "Almost Done" we were almost done with painting. Both body colors were up, and all that is left to do is fine-tuning, trim work, and the porch floor. That will most likely have to wait until after the holidays provided the weather plays along with days that are nice and sunny and not too cold. My stuff on pinterest.

Little Old House: Color Going Up!
http://littleoldhouse.blogspot.com/2014/12/color-going-up.html
Before and Happily After. Monday, December 15, 2014. With my parents' impending arrival we were buckling down for good on the last free weekend. Nothing, absolutely nothing is as inspiring and motivating as your parents coming for a visit. After all, you want to show them a little bit of progress, and we'd been talking long enough about painting the exterior so we wanted that baby done (or as much done as the weather allowed). So we decided to get at least the front painted. Yes, I'm crazy excited about ...

Little Old House: Elfing Around
http://littleoldhouse.blogspot.com/2014/12/elfing-around.html
Before and Happily After. Friday, December 12, 2014. Husband and I enjoy coming up with crazy ideas to make finding our little elf fun to start off the day. Mind you, we have never used him as a parenting tool and/or in-house creepy stalker secret agent - we have fun with it, and leave the rest to Little Man's imagination. So here are a few shots of our elf from this year - more to follow! Rough trip back from the North Pole. Or feeling sympathetic to Little Man's minor foot surgery? Elf on the shelf.

Look guiltily at dog because now there is no time for a walk. Hope that I haven’t contaminated by B-12. Go to work. Tuesday, October 12, 2010. I should start by sayin...

Little Old House: Primer!
http://littleoldhouse.blogspot.com/2014/12/primer.html
Before and Happily After. Monday, December 8, 2014. Slowly but surely we are getting closer to color photos! I know this is a rather slo-mo type of reveal but it was a slo-mo kind of project, and that's not even counting the time it took us to figure out the color scheme in the first place (read about it here. Oh, and here. Unbelievable but true, it took us two whole years. To really decide on our exterior paint project (so massive KUDOS to you if you can make it happen faster than that). Bear with me - ...

Little Old House: White going up!
http://littleoldhouse.blogspot.com/2014/12/white-going-up.html
Before and Happily After. Wednesday, December 10, 2014. Much to this short person's frustration, you star painting from the top down. That's the part I cannot reach and where I need the help of strong men who aren't afraid to, you know, wield paint sprayers and rollers at a lofty 20-something feet height and can physically maneuver that beast of a ladder I bought for this purpose. I max out at 12' which is a whopping 10' higher now than before we bought our little old house. I don't do heights very well.
