Added Curb Appeal to Home

Patty S
by Patty S
We purchased this home 6 years ago. A very plain orange brick home with a plastic folding garage door and very stark landscaping. All 1970's look inside and out. The home is built into a hill on the backside and we have added "curb appeal". We have also redone the whole interior and the lower level too. My hubby and I did every bit of the work ourselves. We love DIY.

Then I whitewashed the brick.
House after whitewashing
The replaced the plastic garage door with a beautiful carriage house door, added shutters and a new pergola front porch and all new landscaping.
Our home now...
Six years later, we are finished and love our lovely ranch home
Home sweet home!!!

    Yes the pergola is fantastic! Your home reminds me of my family's home from where I grew up in Ohio :)

      @Hannah V Thanks Hannah Check out my other posts to see the kitchen redo. It is called "I am proud of my kitchen." And " My lower level renovation". I tried to carry the feeling of the outside into the inside. of the house.
