A couple of weeks ago I posted a list of things that I’d like to accomplish outside of our home to improve its curb appeal. I’ve been able to check everything off of my front porch list except the door and mail slot. I’m holding off on the mail slot because the Chippendale door just may cover the slot and if it does, I may leave well enough alone.
What I accomplished:
Replaced light
Painted mailbox
Painted threshold
Scraped paint and caulk off the brick
Purchased door mat
Here are some refresher pictures of what I wanted to accomplish:
Here’s my updated entrance!
Your entrance looks wonderful. So nice and fresh. Doesn’t it feel wonderful to check a few things off the list. Hugs, Marty
Paula, it looks wonderful! Very inviting. Nice job!

Paula, your work really makes your entry look great. Such a pretty house you have. I love the brick/stone front porch. I also love your new light and rug!
Thanks for your very nice compliments on my anniv. post. 🙂

Great job! That new light really made a difference. 🙂
Your entry way looks great! I love it when I have accomplished tasks and marking them off my list, feels great! Way to go, you have do so much!

I love your entrance, Paula! So pretty and traditional. I love traditional!!
I wonder–could you cut off the ivy and hearts from your old mailbox and still use it? It might fit better with the new light if it didn’t have those decorations. Just a thought.
Hope you’re having a great day!
Oh I love the new look…and the fall mums sound so pretty…I am ready for fall to hurry and get here!
Love it! Mums will look wonderful there. Carla
It looks great! Your new light fixture especially- it is much more visible, not to mention, not shiny brass!
Great job on not using any chemicals to get rid of the paint/caulk stuff on the bricks.
I hear you about being tired. I taught for a couple of years, and I was never so tired in my life as the first week of school. Teaching is a high energy job! Next week will be better 🙂
It does look fresh and lovely Paula. Great job and I adore the way you have your flowers arranged in the pots. I’m going to remember that for the next time. Mums are so pretty too. I’m ready for them!
I had to come back and say thank you for linking up with me, Paula! 🙂
I love the new light! Much better than the brass one. Brass! What were people thinking???
Nicely done and so inviting. I am a big proponent that your front door welcoming and reflects what you will find inside the home. Yours makes me want to see more.
