Tabula Rasa

Here's the exterior photo of our house from the real estate listing.

Exterior - Before

And here's the exterior now.

Exterior - During

We've gotten a lot of compliments on how nice our house looks and all we've done is rip things out. This neighborhood is easy to please. I guess the take-home lesson is: nice plants + wrong location = ugly.

In other yard news, I bought a crazy hippy lawn mower (the Fiskars Momentum) and we love it!

My boss has a huge yard and a crazy hippie lawn mower, and the students she hires to mow her lawn love it! :)

Good on you!
