Before & afters-exterior

We have started the home remodel process and the first step was repairing some rotted wood on the outside of the house and repainting.

Before...
After. The color was picked based on the new windows that we ordered which will be installed in the next couple weeks we hope. Once we get those in the house will look a bit different. The shutters are just black in case you can't tell from the picture. And a lot less interesting: we replaced our entry hallway and hallway to the bedroom light fixtures. I don't know when these are from, but probably the 80s.
This is just a fluorescent lightbulb. Anything would have been a vast improvement.
After.
I think up next will be the windows and then probably the kitchen counters & oven. It will be a while before the bathrooms are finished considering they haven't even started.
