This Spring has been all about change. Making things our own. Starting new.
Our house has been a major part of this change.
One of the things I have wanted to update since we moved in was the color of the shutters, trim and the front door. They were painted a crimson red color. Very charming but very traditional. Farmhouse if you will. The style of our house is French Provincial and I wanted to keep that look and feel but give it an updated yet classic touch.
The "before"...
And yes, those yellowed plants in the front of the house are dead boxwoods. It was a rough winter...
We tried A LOT of different options...
After trying what seemed like every possible grey, blue and blackish color the paint industry has to offer, we decided on Wrought Iron by Benjamin Moore!
Ry removed an old random bush...
And planted a new lilac tree that was a gift from my parents.
The front door needed a new look as well. We went with Benjamin Moore's Buxton Blue for the door itself and painted the storm door off white to match the rest of the trim on the house.
