The Front of the House: Before and After

We spent some time this weekend working on the front of the house!

This is what the house looked like right before we moved in.

And here is what it looks like now! The husband’s parents helped us a ton with weeding and planting flowers. And my mom is responsible for the hanging plants and potted plants on the front porch (some you can’t see in this picture). My mom and the husband also hung new light fixtures outside. And the biggest change happened this weekend…we hung shutters! I really like them. It looks like a completely different house! We originally wanted the shutters to be a little wider, but because of some structural issues we couldn’t make it happen….regardless I still love them! What do you think? We are still waiting for some of our plants to grow in a fill out….so next year it will look even better!

    Great curb appeal!

    Your hard work shows. I think the shutters make your house look a different color unless it's just the light. Good work!
