Last year, I completed the 20 Day Challenge with The Organised Housewife and it motivated me so much that I attacked the front garden, which was overgrown with all sorts! It looked messy and didn't give our house the street appeal we wanted, especially as we are putting the house on the market soon.
This is what the front garden looked like BEFORE: See more pics here & here.
After a trip (or two) to Bunnings, and with a bit of help from my partner & Miss B, I finally got stuck in and finished our front garden. I decided to stick with the river stones (as I have two other river stone gardens along the side of the house), bigger rocks and a few plants. It is really basic, however it allows potential buyers to change it to suit them - e.g. replace the big rocks with plants etc, or leave it as it is.
I am happy with it and it looks so much better than what it was - don't you think?

I love it, it definitely shows your house off better - wasn't the 20 day challenge great? We finally got our backyard done! It just flows on, once you get started. I find that I am re-decluttering - throwing even more things out, and finding better ways to organise. I'm looking forward to it being run again.
ReplyDeleteLove the 20 Day Challenge!!! - I am still active on the Facebook page - encouraging & motivating other members with daily posts! We are in our last week of January 20 Day Challenge, then I will run it again in February!
DeleteLooks great! We also selling our house soon - come and make my garden look pretty!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteha ha! Thanks Claire.When are you planning on putting your house on the market? Have you been actively looking for a new place? I was told today that selling a house is at the top of the 'stress' list eek. I wish us both luck! I don't really like gardening, so the river stone gardens suit me to a T!
