What really wowed me was how she made over the exterior of her house. I could hardly believe it was the same place. I immediately wrote her and begged her to let me share it with all of you here, and she graciously agreed.
This is the Before. To see the After, click on "more," below.

"I thought I would have to kidnap a painter and blindfold him to find one willing to paint my brick," she says. She drew the plans for the porch and chose the colors, and her husband made the shutters.
Thanks to The Nester and for sharing these. I encourage you all to go to her site and enjoy the beautiful interior photos of her place, too.
And now, here I go--I'm getting back to work.
