It’s been a little over a year since I went room by room on a house tour to show you guys my home. I started by showing the most embarrassing part, which at the time was the exterior (do you see those trees growing from the gutters?)
I am very happy to say, that we’ve completed all of our exterior goals, starting with a new roof, replacing the terrible old house numbers, and repainting the facade and the lattice. It’s been a big job, and I’m so glad it’s complete. It’s almost like driving up to a different house.
Even though we had some flowers and decor out there before, I really love my fall arrangements this year against the fresh and clean backdrop of the completed porch.
Some of these things seem so small, but anyone who owns a home knows how hard it is to complete some of these (seemingly) simple things. I think next on my list will be to plant some bulbs in my bare flower beds to bloom next spring. Maybe tulips?
Have a wonderful Monday out there guys!
p.s. As we speak, I am flying over the Pacific for a business trip to China. Don’t worry, though! I have done a TON of work this past weekend to prepare 4 tutorials, a trio of recipes, and some more updates around the homestead so that it won’t even be like I’m gone! Continue to stop by each day for a little dose of House of Earnest – I’ve got a lot of fall awesomeness up my sleeve for you! Follow on twitter and instagram if you want to see snippets from my trip!

The house looks so much brighter!
Looks fabulous! Love the fall touches and the rockers on the porch! Congrats on speaking at ALT!
Your home makes me want to move to Ohio! You don’t find houses like that in California! Great job on the sprucing up
Looks lovely! It is amazing how much a difference a bit of sprucing up can make … yet so hard it can be to make yourself do it.
Nice facelift! Could you please share the paint color and trim color you used. Thanks so much!!
Hi Shori – I just bought the stock white from Home Depot in Olympic porch/deck stain. The exterior grey color was like that when we moved in, so I don’t have the color name, sorry!
Your house is so cute. And your pictures are amazing. Popping in from vmac’s blog.
Lovely! Love to capture your home in one of my custom pve design original works of art.
I love the happily ever after.
