We spent our Labor Day weekend upping the curb appeal of our home. Big, BIG thanks to my mom and dad who gave the whole weekend to help us paint and to Tom and Susie who helped by watching the kiddos for a day and half (I felt lost all day—I was able to just make myself a meal and sit down. I love those squirts, but it was glorious!) Lucky for me, I broke my toe on Tuesday before the painting weekend. So whenever I got tired of painting I’d just say, “Need to put my foot up…”
The kiddos did a little helping once they got home, too.
The Before:
Although the before at the time of painting was really much worse…chipped paint everywhere. We were a real eyesore to the whole neighborhood.
And the After!
I Love how the shutters came out. We also went very thrifty and just spray painted our awful light fixture and mailbox and saved a good 50+ bucks. (And you may notice the superhero pictures on two of the windows, thanks to our artist-in-residence, Dominic.)
Our landscaping and yard still needs some work. Of course, the projects will always be there!
