Babysteps

We've been working hard on the house! Here's some front yard photos of the progress we're making...(notice Michael straddling the railing tehe.) 

Our bedroom window had a hanger dangling from the outside, maybe someone used it to hang Christmas lights? Regardless, it's been bugging me since the day we moved in. Oh, and the hideous tape around our window, I mean, really??


BEFORE

Before (Sanded railing)

Remember that bird's nest?!

 Progress has been made!
freshly painted lamp post, railing, sealed stoop, new step stones, and no more hanger or tape!

Front stoop is sealed/painted and ready for phase 2

New walkway, we still need more step stones, and garden bed stones... coming soon

Revived lamp post!

Still working on getting a flame in there. 
We were excited that we could use the original fixture-
the eagle has landed, haha

Side Yard:

More yucky brown railing-not for long
Priming!

Magnolia or Dogwood? Hmm 
We love the detail on the railing

It's coming along

Fin. 
Although we need to work on fixing those bricks-another day!

Bonus!
Found this in our shed when we moved in...so charming (and it now matches our railing, wahoo!)

We have A LOT more work to do so STAY POSTED
