pictures of the finished (well, almost) porch

[rmd]

pictures.

the electrical finish still has to be done, as well as storm doors, and a bit of inside work on the new second floor doorway. but other than that, it's a porch.

Wow. Looks great. Now you need to sit out there with a drink and enjoy your new porch! :-)

To sleep, porch ants do dream -
ay, there's the rub.

i am glaring at the screen and groaning right now. just so you know.

[smcmullan.livejournal.com]

That's some serious screen glare you've got there.
You should get a glare guard or polarizer or something.

It looks great. Seriously, except for being super-new ^_^ it really looks like it's always been there, which is a bit of a trick with an addition.

The little Victorianaphile in my head wants to gingerbread it up a bit. You know, corner motifs, top railings, things like that. Hee. ^_^

yeah, i figure in another 5 or 10 years when i have to replace the siding on the rest of the house, i'll get more gingerbready with it. probably move away from a base coat of white, too. give that i want it to blend with the existing house, now, tho, i couldn't get too gingerbready.

Very nice! I like the green.

[keren-s.livejournal.com]

Excellent! What did they call that color green?

[rmd.livejournal.com]

it's a benjamin moore color, either HC-127 or HC-121 -- i'm not sure which one they actually went with.

the decking is HC-40, the pale green on the underside of the soffit is 2034-50 or something like it, and the light blue on the ceilings of the porch areas is 2052-60. (all colors are benjamin moore codes)

"Fairmont Green" or "Peale Green". Between the two looks closer to Fairmont.

Not as much fun as the Disney paint names like Friendly Forest geren (or Tigger's Tummy, Ho Hum Yellow, Rumbly Tumbly,Three Cheers For Pooh etc.)

Cool! I like the green you chose. Very bright and spring-like.

Hugs!

That looks lovely...and so much better! Congratulations!

[babasyzygy.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Now you need a rocking chair, a knit shawl, and a shotgun.

[flabosib.livejournal.com]

I can't see her with a rocking chair and a knit shawl. The shotgun, no problem, that I can see her with.

That's a very nice porch. Needs a cat. ;)
