Curb Appeal Phase II

The painters I hired to paint the exterior of my house and detached garage finished painting my house in April. My house was painted with Behr Marquee paint colors Taupe
Tease for the main color; Superior Blue for the trim; and Fire Cracker
for the doors. The landscaper I hired to create flower beds, get existing
flowers beds ready with fertilizer and so forth, and to plant burning
bushes, roses, salvia, and alyssum finished landscaping at the end of April.

Since then, I purchased two very large clay pots and painted them with leftover paint for the Stromanthe that my husband planted in the pots, which was a great suggestion from a fellow Houzzer! I also purchased solar powered landscape lights that my husband placed around the flower beds to add beauty and light at night. Yesterday, my husband hung up the address plaque that he made and I painted!

    Thanks hatetoshop! Red is my favorite color and I'm so thrilled that I was able to work the color into the exterior of the house.

    Thanks! I did not realize what I would be getting myself into when I decided to paint stripes on them! I was just glad when I finally got them done.

    Thanks to everyone who loved the colors! It took me about 4 or 5 weeks to choose the color combo because there are so many colors that I love. I wanted to have colors on my house that no one else does and I do!

    I should take new photos of the flowers beds. The flowers are so much bigger and much prettier now!
