There is something happening around here

Every night, as I approach my house, my breath hitches in my throat a little bit.  Not knowing what I am going to find when I arrive, I get excited.  After all, every day a little something happens at the house….

 

When you hear the words “front door” you think of an entrance to a house, right?  You also think of that entrance being at the front of the house, don’t you?  Of course you do.  After all, that is common sense. Unfortunately, whoever designed my home didn’t think this way.  They positioned our front door at the side of our house.

 

The location of the door was always a sense of annoyance to my husband, Marc, and I.  It was inconvenient to use, especially when lugging packages.  So we hardly ever used it.  Instead, we would always enter and exit through the garage.

 

Well, those days are done!  We now have a proper front door!  A ten foot one to be exact…  As soon as we installed it Marc and I questioned how we managed to live so long without it.

 

By changing the position of the door, we had to also change the walkway into our home.  Since our driveway was in poor shape, complete with bricks cracking, we decided to redo the driveway as well. 

 

We love the results! 

 

In the open area, we plan on putting a small table and a chair in case we want to sit out front with a cup of coffee or better yet a glass of wine.   We will be planting some low trees in the front for a little privacy and aesthetics, and in the spring, we will fill in with flowers….

 

Is there anything in your house that doesn’t make sense?

 

linking up with Cate for 6 word Saturday

    Our lounge room has just been painted so I understand that little bit of excitement when you arrive home and wonder what’s been done. The chaos while it’s happening though – not so good. A new front door that will take a bit of getting used to I’m sure

    1. hilaryg

      Fi Biedermann – Renovations are fun & exciting aren’t they? It is funny, I would think that it would take some time getting used to using the new front door, but it has been a very easy transition… maybe because finally the location makes sense!

  2. caren gittleman

    YAY FOR YOU! I don’t know how you ever tolerated that for so long! I would have lost my mind!

    “anything in my house that doesn’t make sense?” Hmmm…that would have to be ME! lol

    1. hilaryg

      Caren – Snort – you crack me up… Um.. Marc would probably say the same thing about me… And really? I don’t know how I managed living with that hardship as long as I did!

  3. Brian

    That is so nice and I’m sure you are absolutely thrilled with everything! You sure have done a lot of good stuff!

    1. hilaryg

      Brian – I am… It has been an interesting month or so, and we have a few more months ahead of us, but I am so happy with the results and look forward to the competed project

  4. Marg

    Wowser, that looks great. I bet you and Marc are so excited about it. What fun to have a real front door. There are tons of things I would love to change about my single wide mobil home. But it is a roof over my head so I have no complaints. Have a great Saturday going in and out of your front door. Take care.

    1. hilaryg

      Marg – you nailed it… a roof over your head is all the matters…. We are sort of enjoying the front door (depsite the fact that we have to walk through dirt) where the tile floor used to be.

  5. Brenda Youngerman

    it is SOOO exciting to have new things… and having a new front entry and walkway is great!
    YAY you!

    1. hilaryg

      Brenda – there sure is a lot of exciting things happening here… The walkway and door made a huge difference

  6. Ron.

    Oh, yeah; My Beloved Sandra will tell you that there’s something in our home that rarely makes any sense at all. I can’t help it though; I’m a poet.

    1. hilaryg

      Ron – I can’t help it either. You made me smile

  7. Beth Ann

    That is amazing!!!! I am in awe that you guys are undertaking this! I am a little OCD when it comes to having my house messed up—-I know it will be worth it in the end but it drives me crazy until I get it all settled back!!! What sense it makes to actually have a front door!!! Was it a beach design thing or something? It makes no sense! As for our current house—- would make the master bedroom a scootch bigger….

    1. hilaryg

      Beth Ann – You would hate my house right now. There isn’t a room that isn’t a disaster. Wait until you see our temporary kitchen. You will die! We live in a townhouse so I think that the design had to do with the fact we were on an end unit. But not totally sure. My development was built by three different builders because all three went bancrupt while building…

  8. Connie

    We built our first home, and the builder wanted to do all kinds of things that didn’t make sense to me. I had to keep changing the plans, and he kept complaining thinking that ‘no one would want it like that’, aka he wanted me to build the house for the next people who would buy it. Well when we finally did sell the house the people who bought it loved all the things we chose.. so pooh on builders who think they know everything.

    1. hilaryg

      Connie – I hate when people just build or redo for resale value. After all, shouldnt the living in the space matter more? I am really glad that Marc and I designed the space so we have everything the way we want…

  9. Linda

    I am so happy for you! How exciting to get the new front door area and new driveway!!!! Enjoy!!!

    1. hilaryg

      Linda – thanks so much… I am pretty excited about the change too!

  10. Ryker's Boyz 'n' Allie

    YAY! We think it looks meow-velous! Canz we come over and put kitteh nose smudges all over the sidelight windows as we watch bird-TV?

    WE think our home should have a CATIO. We have progressed as far as getting the humans to consider it. However, we have not yet seen anything come of it. *sigh*….

    1. hilaryg

      Ryker’s boyz n’ Allie – come on over! I can use a little furbaby loving! and since I live by the beach, and have a ton of windows, I think you will be happy with the bird-tv reception! As for the Catio… If you got the humans to think about it you are almost there. That is the biggest hurdle to overcome!

  11. Josie Two Shoes

    This looks wonderful, so pretty! I can see how much you will enjoy that new space too! What doesn’t make sense in my house? How four cats can generate so much cat fur flying about and still have plenty more to wear! ;-)

    1. hilaryg

      Josie two shoes – I don’t understand that either. When we used to brush our cat’s fur, I swear he lost enough fur to build a new cat and he didn’t look like he lost on strand of fur..

  12. Susi

    Looks like you guys are making great progress. You know, I couldn’t quite remember where your front door was… it’s been sooooo long. But seeing the pictures jogged my memory. Can’t wait to see the end result. Looks great already. There are things in our house I would love to change… but the list is endless. You know, when we first moved it it was great. But as you live in it, the family grows, things change we realized that we are basically outgrowing the house. But it’s home!!!!

    1. hilaryg

      Susi – it was forever when you were over last, but sweetheart should remember… I can’t wait for the end result either.. it is so exciting. I so understand what you mean. Overtime, you or your family changes and your home has to somehow adapt with it…

  13. The Laughing Housewife

    It’s looking good!

    1. hilaryg

      Laughing Housewife – thanks so much!

  14. Alyson

    how exciting! it all looks lovely! and it makes much more sense to have a front door at the ‘front’!

    1. hilaryg

      Alyson -Thanks! I know – isn’t that the point of having a “front” door

  15. d

    That is so exciting! Sounds like a great idea. Enjoy.

    1. hilaryg

      Debby – thanks! I am loving every second – well except for all the dust!

  16. Lucy

    Looks like you guys are doing a great job :) Oh, and yes, I can’t stand having a side front door, what is up with that?

    1. hilaryg

      Lucy – you guys have a side front door too? Wow, thought we were the only ones~

  17. In the Way Everlasting

    Nice front door and great six words!

    1. hilaryg

      In the way – thanks so much!

  18. Cheri

    Oh, what fun, getting to make something the way you want it to be! There are some goofy things about my house, but nothing as annoying as a front/side door. I do wish my kitchen was arranged in a more user-friendly layout, but I’d settle for some new appliances. ;-)

    1. hilaryg

      Cheri – it is a lot of fun rearranging everything… I do hope you get your new appliances soon :)

  19. joe

    Like that step by step photographs….

    1. hilaryg

      Joe – thanks! So do I… I am really going to like them when the project is done and I can look back on them :)

  20. Stasy

    It looks good! Congratulations on taking charge and making the changes you want.

    1. hilaryg

      Stasy – thanks so much… I am so glad we finally took on this project.. we have been dreaming about it for years!

  21. Lisa

    Hi from ICLW (#27). I love the new front door. I also love when things are getting done. At our house, I hate this one wall between the dining and kitchen. It has bugged me since we moved in 4 years ago. I can’t wait for the day when the hubby finally knocks it down!

    1. hilaryg

      Lisa – Happy ICLW! Thanks! It is funny, this whole renovation project started with us wanting to remove “this one wall between our kitchen & dining room!”

  22. April

    Hi from ICLW! Those side front doors never made any sense to me either. Your new door looks good, and I’m glad you’re loving it! I love our bedroom since my husband took out the closet and turned it into a cubby for the head of our bed.

    1. hilaryg

      April – does side front doors make sense to anyone but the designer???? The cubby idea sounds great! Happy ICLW

  23. Janet

    Love the new door, and it totally makes more sense.

    What made no sense in my house was the hideous colors they had painted the bathrooms. Neon green in one. The other was sponge painted in navy, dark green, and GOLD. Like sparkly gold. It looked like a brothel.

    1. hilaryg

      Janet – I love bright colors, and I am sures some of our choices would make others cringe, but I agree… that sponge painted navy, green and gold combo does seem brothel like!

  24. Tami

    Front door on the side? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Your new door is perfect!
    I have this little alcove in my bedroom that doesn’t make sense. There really isn’t anything you can do with it. Perhaps a small table and chair. But what is the purpose of that?

    1. hilaryg

      Tami – we have a lot of alcoves too… I agree, unless you put a little chair or bench there, they don’t make much sense, but I do like the way they give the room a little more definition…

  25. Weaslewam

    Hi from ICLW!
    OMG that is so funny that they put the front door on the side of your house! My husband and I are just new homeowners and for the most part things make sense. The only thing that doesn’t is some of the UGLY paint jobs – yet I’m TOO lazy to repaint…

    1. hilaryg

      Weaslewam – you are lucky that the paint jobs are the worst part of your new home… when you get unlazy it is the easiest thing to fix up (trust me… we compulsively paint our house!)

  26. Rebecca

    I love what you have done to your digs.

    Found you through ICLW

    1. hilaryg

      Rebecca – thanks so much! I am loving our changes too! Happy ICLW!

  27. Karen

    I love your new entryway! It looks awesome :) Construction is such a pain, but so worth it in the end!

    1. hilaryg

      Karen – I know – the end result will make all the struggle worthwhile….

  28. William Kendall

    Looks like it’s coming along nicely!

    The original owner of my parents’ place was Austrian, and liked the idea of positioning his house so the front had a view of a large hill in the distance. It meant the front of the house was now facing away from the road on a 90 degree angle, so the side of the house with the garage is sort of the front.

    Then he got the bright idea to plant a lot of evergreens. Fifteen years later, the trees were already blocking the view.

    1. hilaryg

      William – fail for him! Man – got to hate when that happens….
