Weekend House Project

I love me a long weekend but seriously why do they go soo fast?! I'm enjoying it while it lasts though!


I did another project at the house. We planted Trees last September, our house had zero in the front yard, how weird is that?! Trees are a must around here. We finally put a little brick border around them. They look so much cleaner now. For 50.00 it was a fast easy weekend project. I'm going to get some curb appeal on our house if it's the last thing I do!!!
This is the realtors picture of our house before we bought it...no trees! I can't even understand this.
This is after planted our two little bradford pear trees. They have grown so much since this picture!

Our little bradford right after we planted it and for some reason never put anything around it. Within weeks all our mulch had blown away--welcome to Texas.


 A little mulch and some border and they look soo much better!






 Now one of these days we will tackle
Shutters
Window boxes
Paint trim, porch, upstairs exterior.
Storm Door
Column where the iron is on the porch
A garden under the 3 windows.

Soo much to do--but we will be here for a while, so I look forward to giving this house a face lift.
Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend!

  1. Looks GREAT! We planted a tree last year, and it died over the winter. Hopefully the one we replaced it with will do better!
