hayloft

above the garage is a hayloft.

at some point, someone installed an actual door with a knob and everything. you can see the little yellow door below.

garage & hayloft
the doorknob always bewildered me.

in keeping with the building's hayloft history, a barn door has been installed.

notice - no doorknob.

soon, it will get painted, which means we finally agreed upon colors!  even though we changed it up a bit from what we were thinking, it's no surprise - it's still gray.  however, it's a warmer gray now.  (there's an oxymoron for you.)

we've also decided against highlighting all the wood details. too victorian for an old hardware store.

Exterior paint
instead, all "moveable" parts (doors and windows) will get the dark charcoal gray. casings and trim will be the lighter gray. anything made of cast iron will be painted black. pictures soon.
