The new face of Bell St.
The back porch!
Our BBQ grill has suffered from exposure during the past two years of renovations. The grill part works well, but it looks awful!
No more old back door!!!

No more old back door!!!KoKo doesn't care what color the house is as long as we keep the birds and windows!
We have four bird families currently enjoying the renovation of the gingerbread trin above our porch windows and doors. The Doves have the large apartment. Two Sparrow families share the double above the second set of shutters and there are larger-than-sparrow birds over the door. We love the birds and thier nests and observing them care for their young, but the bird poop on the porch is a pain! Teh cats LOVE the amount of bird activity around our house!
The porch is inviting! In the evenings, especially with the great weather we've had, we feel like we are on vacation!
The house looks happy! Not all the neighbors like it, but that's OK! We love it!

The house looks happy! Not all the neighbors like it, but that's OK! We love it!Not all of the colors are exactly what we thought, but we still love it. The sun and basically the way light hits the house changes the way the colors look.
Our redbud survived the freeze and is blooming!
No more old bathroom window with plywood! The renovation feels and looks even more complete!
Happy and Wilson's bearded irises are about to bloom!
The shutter color is the most "different." It is cool and happy-looking! One neighbor (crazy) asked if we were going to re-paint in the fall since we had "spring colors" on the house!!!! I told her that we had thought about it and painting for the seasaons sounded like an EXCELLENT idea! There are disadvantages to living near people that have strong opinions, but the advantages far outweigh the bad...and you get to tell lots of stories about them!

We are all OK. Working hard at work and school and looking forward to a beautiful spring! After all, now our house matches the season!
