Baby Steps to a Fabulous Front Yard

I am so excited to get started on our front yard and really give our home some major curb appeal, but that has been getting tossed by the wayside. I tend to get caught up in other projects or just plain lazy un-motivated. I got off work today at noon and the weather was FABULOUS. Like, I wanted to sit outside and bask in the Spring glory all day. So we did. We ran to Lowes to get some black mulch and to give our front yard a MINI makeover. We didn't want to spend a lot, so we figured giving it some new mulch would be the cheapest route. We spent around $16.00 and I feel like it transformed the front yard in such a great way. 

     

   

So our to-do list looks like this:

• Paint the front door (black, red or a teal-ish blue)
• Plant some colorful flowers
• Get rid of the rocks and either extend mulch or plant grass in its place
• Paint the railings and ceiling
• Replace the doorbell
• Change out the light hanging in the covered area and next to the garage

 

Are you getting into freshening up your curb appeal? Starting your garden up? Planting some flowers?
