How lovely! Congratulations. I am loving all 3, but B speaks to me with C coming in close second. "B" gives me a modern farmhouse vibe. Good luck to you

Although I like the dark trim in the painted picture, I think in real life it won't look right on our porch the way it's designed, with the columns. I won't be removing anything just painting. Good thing a mole is also known as a beauty mark.

Our kitchen remodel was DIY and we didn't love the idea of tiling our backsplash - so instead used beadboard panels from Menards and Lowes. The panels are only 4 feet wide so you either need to be strategic about where you put the seams or take more care prepping the joints. The panels are designed to overlap/interlock (sort of a tongue and groove method) - but we found the interlocking joints sometimes result in a "hump" in the wall where the seam is. We decided it was better to just saw off the interlocking end and butt the panels up next to each other. Using "Big Stretch" caulk for the seams works well (no cracks after 6 years) and it's paintable. We used these same panels to do accent walls in living and dining room: In the living room (above), before we perfected the method of cutting off interlocking ends, we decided to cover the seams with vertical trim boards to break up the bead board look. I didn't add horizontal trim to create squares on the wall because I don't love dusting :) In the dining room (above), we butted the panels up to each other and used Big Stretch for the seams. There are 2 seams on the wall with the door. Ignore the orangey dining table - it was a cheap Craigslist find that's on my project list for refinishing!

I think a regular shingle roof would be more appropriate for the house. Metal is kind of country and more expensive. I think if you do a garage on the side, the roof line has to stay in concert with the house too.
