Brick path and front of house - before and after

Just before we started on the house renovation, we decided to do up our front garden, a little bit of an odd order I know, but at the time we thought we wouldn't be doing an extension for another couple of years.

These before photos also show the old brick on the front of the house (which hid the much preferred weatherboard)...............

Looking from the front porch.......

My daughter admires the new side fence and the cement in preparation for the brick path....

And now (Hubby painting a door recently). I love that the lavender pokes through the fence.....

From the front porch......

We have planted magnolias along the side fence, which are slow growing but love the flowers.....

This picture shows that the bed near the house needs work and the now exposed weatherboard needs painting and sanding, something for the next few months......

Hope you all had a great weekend and got to enjoy the outdoors like we did.

  3. What a beautiful garden you have! And the curved brick path is SO inviting - makes one want to wander through the garden to see all the pretty flowers. The garden is nice now, but is going to be stunning in a few years more.
