Our Home Miiiight Get Surgery Instead of a Makeover

Picture & Style and design: Boxwood Avenue

Next up on my article about our residence renovation designs (or deficiency-thereof, is a lot more like it), I required to share a lot more details on how the new designs could have an affect on our home’s exterior. Far more especially: the front façade.

To be straightforward, sharing the existing exterior of our home pains me rather a bit. Other than owning our 130 yr old brick repainted past 12 months, it is been sorely neglected as we have always had plans to tackle it and did not want to sink considerably into it right up until we could do it ideal…

I have been ready to envision the opportunity considering that we purchased this place six years back. But landing on the plan to relocate our entrance doorway (read much more on that listed here if you skipped it) has not only built a world of change on the inside, but on the exterior as perfectly.

Of course we will do proper landscaping in that grime patch (loving all of this as landscaping inspo!) but right here we go:  

Funnily sufficient, our exterior has been a little bit of an humiliation for us for some time – a traditional scenario of the shoe cobbler’s children. Experience fed up with our lacklustre suppress attractiveness, previous summer time we have been *this near* to going full steam in advance on some key entrance landscaping upgrades when our contractor backed out at the past second for personalized causes. We had been rather bummed out about it at the time, but I comprehend now that the universe works in mysterious approaches. If we had gone with our authentic plans and invested in our front landscaping (like a new walkway) we would have had to preserve the area of our existing entrance doorway and by no means could have ended up listed here. Evidence when all over again that matters transpire for us, not to us. A lesson I have figured out time and time once again. Pleased incidents for the get!
