Exterior Choices

It was time for another afternoon drive to check out

exteriors of houses we liked.

Our first stop was at H&I's to check out their faux

board & baton exterior.

This is definately our first choice.

LOVE IT!

Here again is another front entry.

Love the curved line above the door.

We are definately going with that look!



I really love the large frame around the windows.

I also love the double-hung windows.

Maybe I'll even clean my windows more often.

(Don't hold your breath though.)

Isn't the inset pattern nice.

So our search not only lead us to some lovely homes to get

ideas from but of course we saw a number of homes for sale too.

Last year we were scouring the listings for homes thinking that we

were going to move but as it turned out a big addition and

land sale to fund said addition were in our future,
not a new home purchase.

I'll leave you with some great houses and just for fun I checked them

out on-line to see what they would cost us...
So we won't be buying... at least not these! *sigh*

They were valued at over $500,000.00.

For fun I've included the link to the MLS listing.

Connell Rd, Specerville, ON

Rock Rd Spencerville, ON

Okay this one is not for sale but has always been one of my favourites.

It is also on Rock Rd in Spencerville.

Front Porch Ideas

Which front porch idea do we go with?

So many great ideas. Today is Famly Day so we took the kids for a drive and looked at houses along the way. I took my camera and we drove by some beautiful homes with great porches.

I think my favourite porch and house were the following:

Love the colour

Love the trim

Love the porch

Love the shutters

So what do you think?
