We actually had a friend do the work on this project because he offered to do it, and he is really good with woodworking. But, this is an affordable option for almost anyone, and it made such a huge impact on the look of our home, for a very minimal amount. Basically all we had to buy was some cedar fence planks, cedar posts, a few braces, screws and such, and some paint.
Our home was a typical 80's ranch home, to a cool looking rustic style country home which is so much more fitting to where we live.
He built the posts, changed out shutters to the cedar planks. We painted the underside of house with a sky blue color (this is supposed to stop wasps from making nests, so far so good). We also painted all trim work with black, and added a black glass door, some cool little stars that we found on all of the shutters (cost about 2.00 a piece) and upgraded our porch light because everything looked so good, we wanted to go a little further ;) Here are before and after.
