Lighting Up The Outside

I realized after adding the post about our exterior paint, that I never posted about how we finished the back of the house where we removed the Juliet balcony.

Removing a Deck — This was where I last Showed our progress. We had removed the deck and installed windows.

Debord construction peeled back the siding, added new OSB, house wrap, and installed new cedar.

Here is the back after our painters worked on it. The only part unfinished is the bedroom window trim.

Gale Force Sherwin Williams Exterior Paint Cedar Siding — We are going to install a flood light to the right of the windows and the back of the house will be completely finished.

Today, hubby and I (mostly hubby) installed gorgeous new exterior lights. We picked out these lights at Lowe’s.

Michael removed the old rusty gold lights. Here is the basement light to remind you what we started with.

Old Brass Light Before Replacement — All of these lights came off before the painters came.

We installed all the lights on the main level fairly easily.

The basement light was a little more difficult. One of the previous owners added the stone around the basement. When they did, they cemented the gold light in. Hubby had to chisel away some of the concrete mix and stone to make room for a block that would push the light plate forward enough to attach our much larger lights.

Wall Lantern Light Upgrade — The previous light has not been working since we purchased the home and I am so thrilled that I will now be able to see at night when we walk the dogs.

Two more pictures to show our lighting at night and during the day.

We are gaining momentum now. Drywall contractors are coming this week to quote our master bedroom and we have big plans for our renovation that we will share soon!
