The exterior of the house got a facelift too. Curb appeal means a lot and although the house has a cute shape and style it had no landscaping or visual interest. A power washer is a must in washing away years of dirt and grime. It's amazing how much better things look just by being clean!
Entry: We tore out/replaced the cracked, uneven sidewalks which made a HUGE difference! The garage got a new door and new layer of gravel. The side entry steps are new and painted to match the brown trim. And of course, I'm a big fan of hanging baskets and potted flowers. The new, blue door helps say "Welcome" as you come home at night. The front entry got a new storm door, new house numbers and mailbox.
Landscaping: There was no landscaping to speak of....... When we took the sidewalk on the side of the house out it made a much larger area for plants. Doug tore up sod on the left side of front entry to balance out the front. We got our plants at Ace Hardware in town--boxwoods, daylilies, dward lilacs, spirea and a few other fillers made the area look really nice! We couldn't have done this project without our good friends who came in and made it all happen that day!
Garage: The garage is actually pretty new and in great shape. It's an oversized one-car garage but the door needed replaced and it had a grass/weed driveway.
