As mentioned by others.. it is cute!!
Wow, very nice! I know you were a little disappointed with the size of the garage relative to the rest of the house, but probably the siding helps, because I think it's fine.
It's lovely, and the color is wonderful. And I don't think the garage looks weird or dwarfs the house, but then I am now in New England with the big house little house back house barn setup.
Very nice! Is there a connection - like a screened in porch or patio - between the house and garage?
That is very cute. Once you have landscaping the garage will fit right in. The siding color appeals to me!
There are 3 yellow one-and-a- half story houses on my block in Hermann. It is middle America at its finest!Quote:

The original breezeway is now a wide spot Leading from living room to kitchen with a bathroom at one end and the new sunroom at the other end. This doorway has the original French doors which are heavy and very nice.
Something that showed up recently: exterior walls of this house have boards that run in different directions. They are “straight but not level “according to DH. These boards have a dusting of cement on them. These boards were originally used as forms for the cement foundation of the basement, and then later pulled up to make into walls of the house. These Germans didn’t waste anything!

Lumber is now dropping greatly in price. because of course it is! After we have purchased all of our framing pieces, most at the height of high prices.
Gotta love the things one finds/sees in old houses.
The house is really cute! I also love the color.
