Exciting news: we ordered new windows for the house! Yay! We are getting double hung windows and a new sliding patio door. We found a Michigan-based company that makes really energy efficient windows. And with the increase in utility rates, we need all the savings we can get!
We decided to get windows with grates/panes for the front (eliminating the transom), hoping this will give the house a cottage look.
Our plan is to order a new front door that will look something like this:
I think this will really add to the curb appeal. It will probably be a few months before the order comes in, but it should be done by the beginning of summer.
Home improvements are pricey, but necessary. We are hoping we can put off a new furnace/AC for another year or two.
As we wait, we will have plenty of outdoor projects to keep us busy. Trees that need to be removed, bushes that need pruning, and the constant battle of grass versus Jemma. :)
Thinking spring thoughts!
That IS exciting news! A new look and lower utility bills! Win, win!
