More apocalypse, less angst

After a period of particularly hard work, it’s important for me to step back and acknowledge that in just three years, we have done a hell of a lot of work to our home and garden. Here are some before and after pictures of the new paint job and front fence, but first for comparison – this is what the house looked like when we bought it three years ago:
And now!
And just for fun – how about the backyard before and after?

Thanks! And yes, for someone as house proud as me, it’s incredibly gratifying. I know that owning a house isn’t for everyone – but I love the ability to make these kinds of changes to our living space 🙂
Very sharp eye on the colour change, really like the contrast between the main colour and the trim.
Love love love that red color. I wanted to also paint my house red because I think it adds so much character to the place but in the end I was a scaredy cat and kept the same old olive green color. it looks okay but not as exciting as red
