The Great Wall...

Is coming down!

Remember this?

Yea, I'm talkin' about that great big wall in front of the house.

After much deliberation we've decided to take it down.  Originally I thought it added character to the house and would be a terrible decision to move it because what's behind it is nothing special.  WRONG!

Here's our inspiration photo...

Once the wall is removed the house will just have a plain flat front.  Our plan is to add a large porch, the size of the area that the wall surrounds now, and then cover it with 2 gables and add columns, just like the photo above!  I'm SUPER excited about this, I can already see us sipping our morning coffee on the front porch in our rockers.


And then ultimately we'll paint all of the brick and add shutters.  The colors will be much like the house below.

More to come!!!
