If all goes as planned, our house will be on the market in the next month or two. (Fingers. Crossed.) And then our home will become someone else’s home. That makes me immensely happy.
Speaking of our house and being happy, I got our flower pots planted to spruce up the outside. I think the curb appeal is great. (Wanna buy it?)
I am so happy with how well the flower beds look (we planted all the hosts and irises from transplants over the past three or years).
Before and after? Okay. Here’s how it looked when we bought the house in . It’s better, right?
I also planted impatiens in my cans-to-containers on the fence.
And I even made some planters for succulents out of red IKEA lanterns.
This planter brings me immense joy.
I also created a few heart and home planters for the porch. I’m sharing them over at the Silhouette Blog.
The great thing is that they’ll be great at our barn, too. So home is where the planters are.
I’m super impressed with how you’ve changed the exterior. It looks a million times better than when you bought it. It’s going to make someone a very happy homeowner!
I could use a good donut, too.
Those planters are so cute! You did such an amazing job with the house! Definitely lots of curb appeal going on 😉
How could anyone NOT buy that house? OMGosh, what a transformation! Well done, Kim!
I hope you are right. Quick sell!
WOW you have so much curb appeal Kim. Your house too 🙂 Love the look and feel. Those red cans on the fence are so great and I love your side turned lantern turned planter. Looks fantastic!!
Thanks so much, Katja. I really love the way the exterior turned out. So much sweat equity -but I think it was worth it.
Love, love, love the coffee can flower pots! Awesome curb appeal.
Thank you so much! I’m totally taking the fence planters with me to their third home.
You’ve taken that plain Jane house and turned it into a warm and welcoming home! I know it will show well and you’ll have a buyer in no time!
Thanks so much for the encouragement, Denise.
Looks really great!
that lantern as a planter is adorable!!
Thank you! I was pretty proud of myself for thinking of something without the help of Pinterest. (Although I’m sure others have thought of it, too. I rarely have an idea that’s all mine.)
“Home is where the planters are” I lol’d at that but it is so true! We are (fingers crossed) closing on our first house any day now and I just spent time this past weekend digging up the few plants we had and put them into planters to take them with us to our new home. Good luck with the sale!!!
Congrats on your new home – hope closing went well and you are settling in.
Get those planters, girl.
such a difference! i love the succulent planters!
Thanks – now let’s see if I can keep the plants alive. (Never my strong suit.)
Your before and after is just incredible. So charming and pretty. Love the flower pots too.
Thanks so much, Julia. We really love the way the house turned out.
You guys have done SUCH a great job with your home!!! Inside and outside, any buyer would be LUCKY to stumble upon your house!
Thanks, Sarah. I hope you are right. We are ready to get to the country. =)
