Quick Curb Appeal

April 17, 2013

I love warm weather! I look forward to getting my hands dirty in the yard as soon as the weather is warm enough to really get out there and work. I’m a fair weather gardener, if I can even call myself a gardener. I really don’t love yard work, but I do enjoy pretty flowers. I tend to stick to the basics when it comes to landscaping. I don’t like to deal with a lot of annual planting so I typically just put a few flowers in pots next to the front door. This year to really help those flowers make a bigger statement I painted the pots the same color as my front door.

painted planters same color as front door

And I added a little detail – a “P” for Phillips. You totally don’t really notice until you get closer.

I’m all about the quick and easy!

To celebrate the warm weather I’ve joined these lovely ladies for a fun Outdoor Extravaganza! I hope you’ll join us!

Hi Carmel, I'm new to blogging and just came across yours. LOVE IT!
Your curb appeal looks great. We'll be working on ours soon and you've just given me some inspiration! Thanks.

love the pots! your entry looks so welcoming- love the touches of green, too!

So excited about the Outdoor Extravaganza to give me some deadlines to work against! This is the first spring we've really focused on our yard. I'm so excited to make some progress. Love your blue pots!

Please do tell what color your front door is painted and the brand…I have been wanting to paint my front door this color but have not found the perfect color yet.

I love the blue, it is such a great pop of soft color. Fantastic. Hugs, Marty

So pretty & welcoming! I love the blue and the idea of painting your initial on the planters. Since you have some paint left, have you thought about painting your sidelights and trim in the blue, as well? It's such a great color with your brick! This is making me want to spruce up my porch and get ready for time outside. 🙂

Great job! I love the distressed paint job and the monogram!

The older I get, the more I enjoy working outside it seems! Your pots are so charming – I can't wait to get mine planted!

Love, love, love that beautiful blue! Your front porch looks great! Hope you're having a wonderful week, Carmel!

I love the topiaries, lanterns and the color of your front door. So pretty!

That blue is gorge, and I'm digging the red flowers with it!

I am looking forward to being part of the party with you and all the other fabulous bloggers. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Love the boxwood wreath! You said Target? Is it a recent purchase? xo Kristin

I can't wait to have a place with a front door, not an apartment with a hallway, so I can decorate!

Super cute! I need to get on working on our curb appeal!

Not sure if the snow will be gone by May 15th, but fingers crossed I will be back linking if it is. We got 10 inches of snow in the last 24 hours…
