painting and lights completed

whew! new paint is on and new lantern lights are up. we bought these at lowes. price was good;less than 25.00 each. i think they look better than the standard porch light.



my friend leslie had asked if maybe the paint color change would make a difference in cooling. well, i have got to say yes, and its only been a few days. the previous color was a dark wine, almost black. i think lightening it up has made a difference in the inside temperature AND blending in with the area.

i need to get some pics of my first tomatoes and other garden goodies on here too!!

be back soon, kim

    Kim, love the house color and lights. I believe I had something like them at my old house. Also what a cute bike. Thrift store find? And the cute shelf cupboard...what an awesome find.
