Photo: Exterior first floor porch, left is the former door, back of kitchen wall.
Waiting to put the posts and railings until I'm done with any outside trim. I don't want to lay the house down again once they're installed. Yeah, I know, have to add the top on the light. ha!

Just a few photos of the latest things finished.
Porch/kitchen wall: My makeover of the wall is done! Lucky, lucky me! I held off on putting brick paper on the kitchen wall as maybe, just maybe, I had a piece of the orange paper left.
Yay! I'd looked everywhere and finally looked in this other box and found one piece big enough for that wall! See last update; update 2. The brick would've been fine, but I wanted it to match. So, now that is done! Luckily it's such a busy pattern that you can't tell where I patched it. Next time, I'll make some of the kitchen kits and see how things look and where to put them. I just love these prints!

Much better! Now I have another wall to use. The room really didn't need two entrances.
Top porch: So far - I decided after all to use the floor pieces I'd previously cut and painted to match the bottom porch. Figured it looked best the same color. I decided to go with the lighter color corner trim to match the windows and door trim. Glued the posts, but I'll add the railings once I'm done gluing them together. Have to finish trim on porch and top once the cupola is added since I have to measure the pieces to fit.
