From Dull and Drab, to Colorful and Welcoming!

Sam and I are obsessed with HGTV home makeover shows! Since we don't have cable (actually we are thinking of getting rid of our Television altogether) we take advantage of watching it every chance we get, on plane trips, hotel stays, and even sometimes other peoples houses. It's probably a good thing we don't have cable or else we would be watching it non-stop!
One of our favorite TV shows is Income Property, since we own a duplex it would be natural we would get sucked into it. Our new favorite has become Curb Appeal, which is full of ways to help you realize how unappealing your curb may be.

Sam and I feel living in Sugarhouse gives us so much room to play with color and get away with something that maybe other neighborhoods might frown upon. We decided our place has so much potential that we haven't yet taken advantage of. So this weekend I was excited to spruce it up a bit- release it from its dullness and drabness, if you will.

Here is the before:



The during:









And After:



Now we aren't finished. This is just what I was able to transform in a few short hours on a Saturday afternoon. I have a feeling Sam and I will have a few more projects like this in the near future.

Hope you Enjoyed!

I love the yellow mailbox and the flowers. It's amazing what a little color can do! Can't wait to see more!
