Garage Side- semi complete

Before
(this was the day we first looked at the house, what were we thinking?)
July- We decide the Perkin's should look at the new color scheme and tie into the changes we've made on the front. This is the Before of the garage side, clearly I wasn't impressed enough when we looked at the house, since I didn't record it back in December.
That is the greenhouse off the back with the big concrete foundation that makes a sightly shelf.
After, I painted the window trim on the greenhouse, and already it looks lighter. Erik shingled the back with the Maibec shingles.

Erik built an adorable little shed window sill/ roof on the ugly foundation shelf and added trim on the bottom. Also, he took out the window on top of the four openings. I painted the door and threshold and we got new hardware for the door and of course- re- shingled the entire wall of the garage. Check out the little detail up by the trim with the shingles tucked under the trim. This is my favorite part. We have plans to add some shutters and the fake window with the oil tank exhaust will have the shutters- but they will be closed and hide the exhaust pipe. That's the plan.
The semi finished side of the garage. We are waiting the finish the trim to the left in the photo when we re-do the roof on that side, which it severely needs, but we are thinking we might try and do it when we do the addition- not sure we can wait that long, since we have a little leak over the stairs.
