Outside
Here is our house when we moved in. We haven't changed a lot outside (a few things pictured below), but we plan to add landscaping to the front in the next month or two. Plus we are having a fence installed this week! Originally the front door was white and we painted it and added new door hardware. *please excuse the fact that the driveway needs edged*
We ordered these from Home depot and painted them ourselves to match the front door. It really made the house have some character since hardly any of our neighbors have shutters. Plus it toned down the redness of the brick ( I'm not a huge fan of the brick on our house)
Don't you just love the beautiful builders landscaping? We plan to add a lot of real landscaping, that does not include pine needles. I have replaced the wreath holder with a magnetic holder that works well and you cannot see it. we added the topiary ourselves. It was just a square of dirt/pine needles when we moved in! Great use of landscaping by the builders really.
