Chateau Gahan Facelift
With Harleigh's graduation coming up and lots of folks expected at our humble abode, I bit the bullet and worked a bit of magic to take our house from a dated 70's cedar look to an English cottage feel. With a new dressing of gray paint, off-white trim, the addition of shutters, and a rusty-red door the place looks so much better. And this past weekend I did a bunch of planting . . . an evergreen clematis climbing up the basketball hoop, two peony bushes, a colorful mix of annuals and perennials, hydrangea. It all makes me very happy. (And the back yard is all planted too!)

Isn't it amazing how a bit of paint and some plants can change the way things look? I love the gray and the shutters! And nothing says welcome more than a beautiful garden leading to the door!

Oh I love it!!! I remember when you showed us last year your paint colors. It looks fantastic!! The flowers are beautiful and I really adore your bike. :) I think you got yourself a pretty cottage!!
I love what you did with the house, Dawn. What a difference the new paint color and the shutters make! Chateau Gahan will look lovely for all the graduation festivities.

Having seen the house and the gardens in person on a recent visit, I can vouch for the fact that the changes are dramatic, beautiful and have achieved the "look" you wanted!
Looks great!
