Outside looking in

The outside of our house needs some work and we are just beginning to scratch the surface with a little bit of landscaping.  Here is what we are looking at from the outside looking in...

Before

 We started by ripping out all the current bushes, and planted some new ones.   (Landscaping like spelling is not exactly my thing so I'm not too good with the names of all our bushes)

Clearly after....just landscaping and boozing. Talk about LIFE IN THE BURBS...

Before

A new garage door was not one of the things we had planned on fixing right away, but unfortunately about a month after moving in the springs broke and we were left with no choice.  Definitely not a issue we had to worry about in the city.  However parking was one of our main issues, so I will take the new garage door. :)

A much needed new mailbox.  I had to do some wheeling and dealing with my husband to get the one with the monogram, but the fact that everyone who drives by your house sees your mailbox was worth the extra money.
