Work is underway on the front portico face lift! The structure and foundation of the original portico checked out a-ok so the project is going just as we’d hoped. The existing roof and columns have been replaced and a new diagonal cross balustrade is already in place!
Here’s the plan…
Here’s the before before…
And here’s the before with new paint…
The new light fixtures from Ballard Designs have arrived, but unfortunately one was broken and needs to be replaced. They are the three light version of the ones we added to the back porch last summer.
They’ve trimmed everything out since I took the picture and will be back today to paint and start on the two mini porticos and replacing the side doors. I positively cannot wait to share a big reveal!!

Oh wow, what a transformation already. Can't wait to see more. Hugs, Marty
I LOVE the new paint! It looks like a completely different house! The door color is fabulous!
Can't wait to see it done! I actually thought your entrance was gorgeous to begin with but I am sure you will find a way to make it even prettier!

It looks great, as always. :) Just curious…why did you paint BEFORE this work?
Not sure.. We have the same contractor doing all projects and it just ended up this way.
Looks like you moved from one pretty house to another!
Well, it's absolutely perfect! I just thought I might need to know some strategy. Your taste is impeccable.
Wow, it's going to look incredible and give your beautiful home such "presence!" Look forward to seeing the finished product!
Love love love the transformation. Where did you get your door. I have a door just like this but wonder if it's the same. Would love to hear from you. Thanks for sharing your beautiful portico.
