Curb Appeal

Well, my hubby’s been working on a flagstone path at the front of our house for a while now. It’s coming along… we’ve put the gravel down and next weekend we’re getting the flagstone delivered so keep your fingers crossed. It’s our first “landscaping” project and we hope it turns out okay. We live in an older neighbourhood so I wanted the path to look a little rustic – like it just happened to be there. Then I want to paint our porch, and get a new address number and a new mailbox, and maybe a nice chair on the porch to make it look a little more “homey” with a nice comfy cushion and a welcome wreath on the door, and maybe one of those garden gnomes with the red hats to greet you.  We’ll have Christmas lights all year around and a doorbell that plays the theme from Silver Spoons . A welcome mat  with huge sunflowers on it and a fake porcupine that you rub your boots on to take off the mud before you enter the house and…. too much? Okay I got carried away there for a little bit. This creating curb appeal can get out of hand. Stay tuned for the magnificent flagstone path in the upcoming weeks.
