[After: Look! detail, contrast ...ahhh, so much better!]
Better. Not perfect yet but getting better bit by bit. There's for one that yellowed mini blind in the center that's ... yeah, not pretty. And since the transom window is missing the top part could use some beefing up with trim. Ahh, the list of projects - it never shrinks!
You guys have done an astounding amount of work on your ungly duckling, you must be exhausted. The work you have done so far is beautif. Transforming you ugly duckling into a swan one day and one nail at a time!
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't have been possible without our general contractor and their crew! We are so blessed to have them and they are working hard :o) Thank you for your compliments. It warms our hearts to know that others are as excited for our Ugly Duckling as we are.
