Porch Re-do

One weekend in April, I painted my porch. My house trim is all white but for some reason my porch was  painted a light khaki-ish color. The paint had started chipping so since I needed to repaint it, I decided to paint it white to match everything. My grandmother loves to paint so she graciously volunteered to help and for that I thank her!

I was so pleased with how it turned out!
Disclaimer - I will admit, I wanted to be lazy and hire someone to paint  it for me (I had even gotten an estimate for $200) BUT it was super easy and much more rewarding to DIY. I am glad my grandmother talked me out of hiring someone and graciously helping me! However, I do not keep things/messes contained well and the amount of paint I had on myself, clothes and in my hair was ridiculous; my grandma came out without a drop of paint on her?!?!
 Happy Monday!
