Slow Progress on the Front of the House...

Well, I've made a little more progress on the front of the house.

I picked up two gorgeous boxwoods for the front stoop and think they look smashing with the black door, even if it isn't perfectly symmetrical.
I searched high and low for black pots, but found nothing inspiring (end of season...). I really like the shape and colour of the two clay pots from Chintz & Co. I am definitely the only one to notice that the semi-circular detail on the pots relates to the semi-circular window in the door.

I also added a small rubber mat, which I really love. I won't be able to hide the key under it now...
I will show you more photos of the front facade, with the new paint job, once we get the trees pruned (next week) and hopefully I will have a new lantern (still hunting for this...so I may have to post "in progress" photos).

  5. Looks awesome. I can't believe the beautiful finish they got on your door. I can't see a single brushstroke.

  8. Love the boxwoods!

    We hid the key in the garage and now I CANT FOR THE LIFE OF ME remember where it is! (We couldn't get into the garage while landscaping...)
