Stoop Fun

So we have been doing small projects lately. This one was a bit of procrastination from tub scraping, but an improvement none the less! I had found some numbers I loved at Design Within Reach a couple of years ago, but like most of their products, at $65 a number always thought against it. So we found these copies at a much better price. These are a great improvement to the original ones you can see in the first picture stuck on above the door (like the duct tape and vegetable can as a pipe stopper, the previous owners always seemed to use anything with adhesives) Any good weekend project isn't complete on its own and this one has now spawned 2 or 3 additional projects. First painting the door and frame now that the unsightly numbers left a mark on the white aluminum, adding a light outside the door that we have wanted for awhile, and finally the foxglove addition to the front. 2 down 2 to go!

The last picture is a view down the street and that is our little "Charlie Brown Tree" in the foreground. Bryan makes fun of its sprout at the top. I admit it does grow in a strange way, but it is now almost up to the 3rd floor and just starting to fill in a little for shade in living room.
