| | | Curb Appeal There are so many home improvement shows now; Trading Spaces, While You Were Out and so on. I thought for this challenge that I would create a digital version. Attached is a home that needs some curb appeal. Work your digital magic and see what you can create. You can change colors, add porches, bay windows and so on. |

| | | Only just found this post and thought of this.
It may take you a little time to complete the construction (and quite a lot of cash), but the neighbours would certainly notice it.
You did say we could change the windows etc.

| | T. Paul, no major changes, and I didn't spend a lot of time on painting it, but Lynette Jennings says the front door should be the focus of a home from the street and that we should paint it our favorite color (no matter what that might be) and leave the shutters and garage door more neutral. Oh, and I added a wreath |

| | My quick thoughts. Not terribly ambitious, but attainable I think |

| | nancy,
cassidy,
i like the flowers. i was thinking of hedges along the drive and front, but i think now maybe the flowers are better. i might still be tempted to put a low hedge along the front, however. the higher elevation of the lawn wouldnt be blocked from view and a hedge would frame things nicely.
i'd also think about adding an ornamental tree in the yard, somewhat off center to the front near the drive, but at least a good ten feet from it.
i got lazy about trying to find some hedges to copy into the pic, so all you get for now is this text version

| | Thanks, T
Curb Appeal is one of my favorite shows.
In this eposide:
The shutters and doors were painted dark green. A small porch was added, and the window on the porch was enlarged.
And, since it's TV, there was still enough money to repave the driveway.
