Workin' on that Curb Appeal

These gals were in desperate need of a trim.

You have no clue what I'm talking about, do you?  haha.

THESE....



We also had this huge pile of ... brush?  that needed be be hauled away/mulched down into nothingness.



Oh yeah.  The neighbors were loving us.  LOVING.  Us.


So, two days ago, three lumberjack type men came and did their thang.



Why yes, in case you are wondering, I did hide out in the future guest room/mom cave, that currently holds our reject items, and took pictures of the men in the trees.  I'm pretty sure they saw me too, and probably thought I was crazy. 


 See that guy there... right below these words..
hidden in the tree?
That is one brave fellow.


Ahhh... you can now see our windows.  That still lack shutter color.  LOL.  I know, I know.  I have a good excuse, promise.  I'll share what's going on with that in a few days.



And.. because everyone loves a before pic without having to scroll up...



And now...



*sigh*... much better.

  2. Looks great, Courtney! What happened to the pile of brush? Was it mulched down into nothingness? We are also working on some home/yard improvements but ours are taking place in the backyard. Gonna try and get a post with pictures in the next couple of day. Look for it and let me know what you think! Can't wait to see what you do with those shutters!
