Fine tuning the front

These are the colors we picked for the front of the house! We were trying to make whatever we decided on go with the existing red barn and outbuilding. That same red is on the roof of the grain bins too. The main color of the siding will be a tan and the trim a dark brown. 

The leftover cutoffs from the porches were put to use around the top of the front porch to cover the I-beams on the inside. I cut over 150 of them to nail up.

This is what they looked like going up. The little silver screw heads int he tin will be painted.

Ta-da! The door looks much better painted!

The siding was added to the sides of the porch. and trimmed out with cedar. ( we have a ton of leftover cedar so we are using it where ever we can.)

The little pieces of cedar are all up and the tin on the soffit is up also. The front porch has three can lights in the ceiling but will also have a shelf around the outside edge and a row of small lights under old telephone insulators.
