I live in a house with pink tile bathrooms, yellow and mint tile kitchen counters, and a cruddy looking column on the front porch. At least I can make one of those look decent!

  • This is after our makeover from the street.
  • This is our front yard before. This is just to the right of the house; the only area that wasn't just grass.
  • This is the old concrete path from the other direction coming from the back yard to the front before.
  • And our new flagstone path we laid along with new garden along the path! So much better!
