Before and After—or Hello Gorgeous!

 

Before and After garage door
The garage door before—plain and boring.

W What a difference a year makes! My extremely talented architect just emailed me these before photos as a reminder. I admit it—sometimes I forget to take the all important before photos. But I am really good about during and after photos! I can hardly believe this is the same house we purchased. Keven Hawkins can truly turn crappy into happy!

The new garage doors add a little charm to the front of the house. My favorite feature is the new entry garden that welcomes you to the front door and makes the front drive a little more fresh, flirty and fun.

Thank you to all of the wonderful neighbors and friends who have given us so much support and encouragement during this project. The visits, emails, texts and tours have been a gift during all of the mess. We look forward to a huge house warming party to thank you all for your support—more info about that soon. FYI—the dumpster is still here for a couple more days! xoxoxoxoxo

Garage doors after—new roof line and double the doors.

Entry garden after—What a difference a few plants can make.

Back deck before—nice but boring. New addition is located where the veggie garden containers were.

 

Almost finished Chippendale rail
The veggie garden after—what a difference a few months can make!

  1. It looks amazing, Lissy. The stone is gorgeous and there is nothing quite like the charm of chippendale rails. I don’t think I would ever go indoors! Happy Wednesday ~
