So a few pages back I posted the landscaping to my current house, I took some of the advice and this is what my outside now looks like:
So as you can (hopefully) see, I swapped out the windows on the front for both the second and first floor, on the first because I needed bigger windows. On the second floor I've added gray shutters along the front of the house, the windows were swapped out so that the shutters matched up properly with the window height. The landscaping has hopefully been depoofed a bit and the backyard is underway as well.
I've also moved inside now, trying to figure out how to divide up the first floor properly was tricky, especially with two sets of stairs, one up and one down, and a door leading to the garage. But I think I figured out a layout I'm satisfied with.
This first picture is a full on view of the first floor, as you can see I've got two staircases instead of one, which makes things a little trickier. I tried to stay neutral and calming, the blue seems to fit quite well. I also had some fun with the fireplace, I've never recolored to so many things before!
The kitchen makes use of the railed half-walls, which I feel provides a nice separation from the living/dining area. The extra tile of wall of each side is where I'm keeping the little trash bin and the little recycle bin, plus it keeps the kitchen looking comfortable instead of cramped. Looking at it now I might add an extra counter along the outside wall...
The living area is mostly a sitting area at the moment, I felt a television or stereo was out of place in this little home, though I'll probably add one later anyways. Everything is color coordinated, I hope, and I feel it looks pretty good so far.
Granted, this is still very much a work in progress and any opinions would be helpful. (Praise would be happily accepted as well.) So, thoughts?
