Front Yard - curb appeal done!!!



July 2005 - sod was just put down in the front yard and a tree planted too. My little blue house - only one on the block.



April 27, 2010 - the transformation!!



I guess you can tell I have a thing for cobblestones - I love it!! Now you don't have to walk to the house in single file anymore - at least 2 by 2!! Please I won't feel like I am running down to the curb because of the grade of the step. Tylor thought it might look nice to add the shurbs and he added the solar lights in between each of them.



Raised flower garden in the front and one created around the tree.

Your home renos should have been a reality TV series!! These before and after shots look just like the ones you see on the Curb Appeal show!! Sooooo GREAT!!!
Amazing what a little landscaping can do. YOu have inspired me to seriously start to work on my front lawn.

And I totally agree with Sara about the pics of you and Kathryn.
Going through those photos must have been so emotional. But you are not backing down from the work of healing and you wont regret that!! Beautiful pics of two beautiful sisters. Love ya lots,
Amy
