When we remodeled our 2nd floor bathroom,
a dormer was added to the front of our house to be able
to enlarge the bathroom. We also added a portico over the front door.
I realized that I've never shown you how it all turned out on the outside.
~ so here is what it looked like prior to the remodel ~
~ and here is what it looks like now ~
What do you think?
We're so happy with how it turned out.
We had a new roof and new siding done at the same time ~ things that were badly needed!
I especially love how the portico turned out.
I think it adds a lot of character and charm.
Of course there are still things I would like to change.
I would love a different style of front door, paint the porch, maybe
add some shutters and window boxes, add to the landscaping, etc.
We will get to those things eventually but for now we are
enjoying the new look of our home.

JoAnne, You are so right about your house. It is charming. I love the new look very much. You cat is a cutie too. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI love the addition of your dormer. It looks like it's always been there. Love the portico you added over your front door too, beautiful detail!
ReplyDeleteYes I see the boss in the window. I remember being so fascinated with the bathroom you were adding and the dormer, I'm not sure you had the portico done then. It is so lovely and what an enhancement to an already lovely home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference! It doesn't even look like the same house! I love the exterior changes and of course the bathroom remodel is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLove the dormers...it gave a lot of charm to your home.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great addition to the house, JoAnne. It looks lovely and I certainly enjoy seeing your sweet blog boss checking out your front yard :).

Wow, what a difference, JoAnne! Looks like a completely different house.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a sweet comment. The Man and I have a European trip planned for next Spring, so packing this way for our summer roadtrip was a good time to try it out. Hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
It looks beautiful! You did an awesome job....it looks warm and welcoming.

WOW what a difference JoAnne!! I LOVE the way it all turned out...the portico adds so much charm to your front entrance...love it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous! Gives your home such a wonderful "cottage" look which I think is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great remodel! I love it, so charming! The front of our house is very similar to your before. There is no portico and I have always wanted to add one, I think that element adds so much! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI love it JoAnne!! It looks like a cottage, I love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I found you via Saturday Spotlight. I LOVE your house with your dormer and portico. Perfection I say! I learned a new word today also...portico. Love the ring it has to it. I think I will use that word a lot this week. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
I love your remodel, especially the portico. The contrasting inset looks great.

ReplyDeleteSuch a big, beautiful difference. You must be thrilled!

I had missed that post! The transformation is amazing. You added so much charm and character to your house both with the upstairs windows and the portico.
ReplyDeleteThat is such an amazing transformation! The portico and the dormer brought a new appeal and welcoming ambiance to the front of your house. Your newly remodeled home has been given life by the things you added to it. Thanks for sharing that, JoAnne! All the best to you!
