Before and After






We have slowly changed the exterior of our house. We started with changing the door and shutters from green to beige. Then we had a storm and lost a tree which resulted in the removal of 3 more trees. The landscaping has been an issue for us since we moved in. The people who owned our house before were very good at yard work. I on the other hand believe in less is better. So we took out all the plants and now we have a ton of grass in the back. We did leave room for a veggie garden. In the front we put in low maintenance plants and flowers. Our neighbor Craig and his team rocked it out in like 2 days!! Last, we changed our pillars. Way before we lived here there was carpet on the front porch. Carpet + wooden pillars = bad idea! They were starting to rot at the bottom. So we replaced them with awesome fiberglass square pillars. We are sooo happy with the way the exterior looks now.
