I've always thought our side (back) door looked a little plain.
And a great place to get wet as

one awkwardly manages umbrella and packages
while unlocking the door during a rainstorm.
We finally did what we have talked of for years.
I think it adds a little charm to our house.

Thankfully we've had some rainstorms recently.
Good for the grass and garden's sake, but
also a chance to try out our new addition.
And it works great!
It looks great! It is exactly what I have wanted for the front of my house, which John is wishing he felt like doing, but doesn't.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does look great and I'm sure will be a great benefit entering the house with hands full, in the rain.
ReplyDeleteI know you will appreciate it when it rains as well as keeping the sun off of the door, Dotsie. It does add character. ♥
ReplyDeleteA wonderful addition... For charm AND shelter from the rain. I love it! Blessings ~ tann
ReplyDeleteYes, that sure is cute, and functional as well! Isn't it funny, the things we 'finally' get around to doing. LOL We've got lots of those around here, some still in the planning stage, some actually completed. Love your new addition. It adds a little charm. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a charming and practical addition to your home!! Hooray for projects done!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it does add a little something that was missing, and is helpful, too. I'm sure you glad you finally got it done. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDelete"you're glad" (I really hate making mistakes :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks delightful, as though it was always there!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds of the little porticos you see over English cottage doors. All you need now is a climbing rose to complete the illusion!
ReplyDeleteA useful addition and it certainly dresses up the door to your home. Enjoy the dryness it provides!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteI am looking at something similar, but perhaps a tad bigger if we do not do a full porch on the front of our house! I love the charm it adds to your home!

Indeed, it is charming!! It looks very nice and very glad that it works.!
ReplyDeleteI love it! We had a similar situation out the back door of the cabin. Good for neither rain nor snow. The little roof works perfectly. Although, the cabin has been sold, and we are so very missing our happy place!!! I have missed blogging, and missed your posts. I have caught up a bit, a see that you are well, and enjoying live. Your hair looks great btw, and mine is much more gray/white! I am 55, and have now accomplished, what I feared would be impossible, I have let all grow out naturally. I don't hate it, but I am not used to it either. It was nice to check in with you.

I love this little addition, Dotsie, and it totally changes the look of your back entrance. This is a great idea, and you all did a nice job with it. I like the flashing along the top and the pretty side supports -- makes me want one! :) Have a great day, Dotsie!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Denise
It does look great, Dotsie! Send some of that rain our way - we need it!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy pictures of your house and the cul-de-sac. Such fond memories!
ReplyDeleteI love this, and am very, very jealous. Always enjoy seeing your sweet home. This is perfect. :)
ReplyDeletePodso,

Fondly,
