Makeover Monday: 12/10

 This Thanksgiving tableau was the scene of our front walk on Friday 12/7.  How embarrassing to be a week into December and still have pumpkins out!

Mike got our Christmas flag out there on Saturday, and on Sunday he put up our lighted star/snowflake.  It is high up on the chimney, and only looks great at night, so no pics of that.  I added snowflake window clings to both of our front windows this year- they look cute, but aren't super visible unless you're right up on them.

We took the old plants out of the planter and replaced them with scrap boughs cut from the base of our Christmas tree.  I added a few thrifted red balls for a pop of festive color.  Now at least we look like we know what month it is!

Happy week 2 of December!  Two more weeks until Santa comes- eeeeeeeek!!  Are you ready?

Makeover Monday: 9/17

 ~*~

Our house just before the exterior painting commenced.  Cedar siding, never painted.  Rotten in places- especially down near the base of the garage.

Now we have personality!  We chose "grey skies" as the main color, with "fireweed" for the trim.  As with most home improvements, we wish we had done this YEARS ago!!
