Curb appeal is very important. You don't want folks to drive by and think "what a dump." Sadly, when we first moved in, we had some big challenges with how our house looked. When our house first went on the market, it was really, really bad. How bad you ask? This bad...
I know you're thinking, really, Katie, stop being dramatic, really that's not too bad... So I give you this...
Notice how you can't even see the damn house through the mess that is the front yard. And yes, I did just steel these images from google maps using my snipping tools.
When we bought it, it didn't look much different, except that the house was painted yellow and the driveway was paved. I know what you're thinking, we must be crazy and we are.
So we've done a ton of work, and as of a couple week ago, this is what our yard looked like...
Yes, these are the same pictures from when the
driver crashed into our yard, but they were the only ones I could find. But you can see the improvements- we added that lovely fence and have mulched in the front, so that it doesn't look so desolate.
Last Monday brought some BIG changes and our yard now looks like this...
Notice the lack of ugly scrub pines? I am so happy with this. We still have a long way to go in achieving curb appeal nirvana, but we're getting closer!
Rookie mistake! Never post your physical address on the Intranet where anyone in the world can see it.
