Before and After Front Yard

J'adore looking at before/after (b/a) photos. So for self-amusement (and hopefully for my readers as well), I will be posting a series of b/a of other homes, then compare it to the b/a of my own home. It's amazing how a little bit of TLC and DIY can transform a home!



BEFORE - overgrown front yard




AFTER



BEFORE - same overgrown yard but looking from a different view



AFTER


BEFORE - charming but a bit plain



AFTER


BEFORE - same house with too much grass


AFTER


(all photos above via HGTV.com)

BEFORE - my own home's front yard but prior to purchase


AFTER - added a picket fence and arbor



AFTER - changed paint color to Tiffany Blue and added lavender and rosemary plants to front of picket fence



AFTER-Removed the King Palm and replaced with Willow Tree


AFTER - planted jasmine vines around arbor



AFTER - accessorized the porch with urns and statues



For my own home, I was going for more of a romantic beach cottage look rather than a tropical one. Hope you enjoy this post...more to come!

I'm so loving before and afters..., it's just amazing how places look different with what seems to me "little" work (well we all know, it's always a bit more work than one thinks). Your cottage is just so gorgeous and what a transformation, so much curb appeal and charm added.
