House Makeover

We've really enjoyed living down here in Flagstaff, but i'm not going to lie, I didn't like the outside of our house. First off, you couldn't even see the house because of the giant spruse out front. Second the color really wasn't so great. It was tan which is find but the trim was maroon so it made the tan look light pink. The yard also wasn't that great, but that was kinda our fault. Last year we were doing so many things inside that we were too worn out for the outside. Plus there wasn't much to take care of. 

So this year we decided to tackle the outside. The first step was to either trim or cut down the tree. After getting a quote from a tree guy, we decided to trim it and see what we thought. 

BEFORE

Spencer asked why I included two pictures. Because to get a picture of the front you have to stand to the side of the house, so frustrating and silly.

AFTER- just the tree trimmed- so  much better.

Now for the really good before and after pictures. We decide to get the house painted. We considered just painting the trim and doors white so get rid of the maroon but then we found a paint guy for really cheap so we just went for it.

AFTER

While we were at it we decided to change the light fixtures and the numbers. We love how it turned out.

We have been working really hard in the yard too but those pictures will have to come later. It is taking a while to do it all.
