    Outside Curb Appeal

    If you are a crafty-type person and want to boost the curb appeal of your house, here are some ideas from {Bees Knees Bungalow},

    Hanging on the outside of the shed is this flower design art thingie – made out of colored hoses.
    The middles are bundt pants.  Hello. Fun.
    This house was all about the succulents. They are everywhere, starting with these little pot wreaths.
    (that doesn’t sound right, hahahaha!)

    Curb appeal is absolutely vital when selling a house – unless you’re trying to sell to an investor who might expect to put in some sweat equity. The first impression of a buyer will begin on the outside!

    Friday Fun Video: Arranging the Bookcase

    My book case is arranged by author.  I guess the Dewey Decimal System is more firmly ingrained than arrange-by-color!

    Ready to Paint My House

    I desperately need to paint y house, but mostly I just want to put up vinyl soffets so I never have to paint again.  However, if it was just up to me to paint and I didn’t have my husband to stop me, I’d probably be all over doing something creative with my house like these,

    Warning, Wet Paint(ed Patterns): These artistic painted patterns may perplex and overwhelm as much as they inspire you. One artist (who resides in a former public restroom building) decided to paint the outside of his home in standard-patterned plaid. Another home owner went with black and white spots as a tribute to a movie about, well, you can guess. As a surprise, one couple returned home from a honeymoon to find their townhouse exterior turned into a gaudy leopard print – this paint job was not chosen but, instead, courtesy of their friends.

    I think I’d prefer the rainbow house (see it by clicking through).
