Update on the "what can I do with this fugly porch/garage" thread...pics included

[Kitsmummy]

A few months ago I posted asking for advice on how to make my hideous porch less ugly. I was thinking about pulling down and re-building. Lots of people pointed out that the garage was the biggest eyesore.

Taking the comments on board, I pulled the garage down (and re-sited the crap into a garden shed. This made off road parking as the garage had been too small to fit a car in! I've had windows done, front steps done and had it painted and I thought you might be interested to see the difference.

I couldn't be more over the moon with how it's turned out, so thank you for all the advice. If I hadn't posted on MN I would have spent thousands re-doing the porch only to still gave the hideous ugly garage right in front of the house

That's great. I remember your first thread. I like the way you've got the details unified, using the masonry paint etc. Also changing the awful Windows and the new steps. Looks like a different house!

I remember the other thread too. What a difference, that looks amazing!

The entire house looks like it has been transformed! I am loving what you've done to it - especially the colour!

That looks like a totally different house. Well done. You've done a great job. I bet you've added far more value than you've spent as well!
