You hear a lot about curb appeal on design shows, especially if you are trying to sell a house. We're not selling, but I thought it was time for the front entrance to have a little updating. We had a couple of patches of dead grass next to the sidewalk(don't ask) so made those into little display beds with mulch. I filled the flower boxes with bright flowers in pink, purple and white, along with ferns for softness. The same colors filled enamel pans sitting on old metal ice cream chairs. I added solar lights made from blue canning jars hung on hooks from the dollar store. The front door got a coat of aqua paint to match the outdoor furniture and I added a new wreath from Salvation Army.. A few extra touches and we have a new looking entrance to the house. The cost was less than $40 including the mulch and plants, I had everything else on hand. I'll do a tutorial on the solar lights and the crystal mushrooms next week.
