Curb Appeal.... or getting there atleast.

As you can see here our house was a lovely, peeling shade of dull grey that was in desperate need of a pressure wash and some TLC… let’s face it the house is from the 70s and from the front yard you could tell…

Oh don't mind the MAROON!!!! front doors, oddly placed basket ball hoop & flag for a random school, we've never even heard of.

So we cleaned her up a fair bit and pitched in for a paint job… Enter Banana yellow!!!!. I swear the color swatch was a lovely khaki color the kind you see on HGTV… But low and behold when they slapped it up on the house… we had yellow!!!... luckily it has faded some and if the light doesn’t hit it head on we get lucky and get that much sought after sand color…

Also we noticeably have tried to tame the jungle of a front yard we had by trimming bushes and chopping down weeds we honestly thought were trees. She has come a long long way I will say that but shes still far from winning any lawn of the month awards….


This is also after the front yard has been trenched up more than once compliments of plumbing issues and a $1500+ plumbing bill one month…(please lift jaw, I cried enough for us both)…. But on the plus side there are no more plumbing issues to be had… there better not be or else I think someone is going to go missing in the lift station out front…

Still left to do…

1. Paint the Rocking Chairs… (not sure if I’m going to go with Traditional White or Black again)…
2. Add some foliage to the porch.
3. Spray paint the other light fixture to match the one by the door
4. Fix planting bed to the right of the garage again… (weed & pine straw)
5. Build planter box around mail box with extra bricks from retaining wall.
6. Build frame for Trellis to cover Trash bins under Deck.
7. Clean out under the deck. (you would be amazed at the amount of random stuff that ends up down here)..
