Exterior Motives
So here it is.
Our house…
It’s made out of cinderblocks.
Yep, that’s right- I said cinderblocks.
Not the most “cottage-y” of exteriors, eh? My husband didn’t think so either. Fortunately, I was able to cloud his judgment with the repeated use of phrases like, “clad it with some kind of cottage-style siding”, and “paint it a warmer color”, and we made an offer on the place in September of 2007. Our offer was (surprisingly) accepted, and we closed on Halloween.
I figured I’d start our blog with a post about the exterior of our house, and then ease you into posts about the interior slowly.
Very slowly.
Because I’m telling you, the place we moved into was scary.
Reeeeeeal scary.
Stay tuned…

I *love* the cinderblocks! I love the texture of yours and think they would look great as is or painted. Personally, I’d never cover it with siding – charming enough as is!
Oh, girl, I hear you about the interior and the neverending *during* stage. (Have you seen my ugly house photos entry?) In a perfect world, we’d have these projects wrapped up in no time, but in our (do-it-yourself) world, there’s only so much time or money and we just have to live with a s l o w house transformation. It’s better than nothing, I suppose!
Looking forward to seeing more! I’m pretty sure my ugly house photos will be worse than yours, though, so don’t be too reluctant to post!
