Great work!

Wonderful color choices, and the red door is a bonus. Great work!

Beautifully done!

Nice!!

Nicely recomposed, colors provide a very appropriate contrast. Highly aesthetic and balanced overall, this is a good example for others to follow.

Very nice! I love that you kept the integrity of the house. You just made it better.

Your home is gorgeous! The colors look really nice and highlight all of the beautiful architectural details.

It looks like a beautiful, warm and welcoming home.

looks cool and modern .bravo

Beautiful! Excellent choice of colors.

Yellow and red...the colors of my kitchen! Love it.

Great Job!

FRESH! Well done!

Great restoration! This house looks fresh and updated while maintaining the old heritage feel

Very nice job, especially staying true to the Victorian style.

I'd love to know how you created the drawing of your house. Could you please share that info? Thanks.

The house drawings were pretty simple. I took the photos of the house and printed them on 11x17 paper, traced them onto a clean sheet of paper and painted in the colors. It was a good way to "try out" the various colors. SW has an online program to do this, but I liked the look of my own drawings better.

Thanks. Great idea!

Very pretty!

I love the updated paint on the porch. It looks so fresh and clean and crisp now, like it is well cared for and well loved. I like the red door too. You must feel good to pull up in front of your house and see how great it looks!

Adorable!!

Looks wonderful! I love old homes. It's always interesting to think just how much history a 130 year old home as lived through. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come!

Beautiful home! The changes are perfect.

I especially appreciate that you photographed the house from the same angles before and after - really helps to appreciate what you've done. Nice job!

I am planning to have new siding on my farm house. I am trying to decide on a color, roof is faded red metal. We will be covering cedar. I really don't want to change the color too drastically, a bit nervous about this. I know it needs to be done soon please help.

Just like in fashion, your house is wearing this "dress." So very well done.

@1oldfarmgirl: post a new thread with pics so we can see and get inspired by your farm house

Thanks will do Lynn.

Looks good!

Beautiful home.The only thing I would change would be the ceiling of the porch to a soft sky blue.Just a suggestion you might not have thought of,and can change if you choose.Thanks Martha Dexter,Pa.

Great job.

Funny you mention the blue ceiling on the porch Martha! I went back and forth on whether or not to do that. The original paint colors had a blue ceiling. In the end I just couldn't decide and had the painters go ahead with a neutral. Its definitely something I might revisit in the future. Thank you!

I love the 'new' front door, and especially the stenciling of your address. Perfect!

Beautiful! Love the front door with stencil. I am working on a circa 1840's cottage, and loving the adventure

I love red accents with yellow and white. It all just looks happy! Great job and thanks for sharing!!

Carrying on on the porch ceiling theme - sort of. . . an easy way to change the ambiance especially at night is to use pale pink lightbulbs instead of regular ones. We'd seen it done and tried it and it gave a lovely warm and welcoming look.

Love what you've done!!

So much warmer and more appealing with the darker colors. Well done!

Beautiful! It really makes the different patterns of the house stand out
