Our Cottage in the Snow

We woke up to a few inches of snow this morning, so this afternoon I bundled up and went outside with my camera in hand to take a few pictures of our little cottage.

We haven’t seen snow since Christmas, so it was a wonderful surprise to wake up to this much snow. I’m just bummed that my boys didn’t get a snow day out of it. Snow days with my boys are my favorite!!!

As you probably remember, last fall I repainted our front door this beautiful color called, Obsidian by Olympic paint. I really like how it turned out. You can see more of the painted door HERE. That post has a picture of the before color as well as a few different color options that I could have gone with.

I always get questions about the exterior color of our home, but I don’t actually know what it is. It was already painted when we bought the house.

Remember when I used electrical tape to add lines to our windows to look like window panes? I think that this is one of my most creative ideas yet to date and to be completely honest, I’m surprised that that blog post isn’t more popular. It was a simple way to update my boring big dark windows. I see so many homes that have the same big windows, and I think that they could really benefit from this little trick of mine.
