Follow the brick road

When we moved into our house a couple years ago, there was so much renovation work to do on the inside that we couldn't even think about tackling the outside of our house. So this summer, we thought it might be time to focus on the outside as well. We started the garden and were inspired to work on other parts of our yard as well.

One of my favorite things about our house is our street. The street is in historic part of town with a brick-paved street. We also have a brick path that leads from the front door to the back door. When we moved in our flower beds were lined with awful wood beams that we hated. So we decided to tear them out and replace them with brick. Here is what our house looked like the day we closed:

I know the focus of this is us as happy new homeowners, but if you look closely, you can see the wood beams.

In this picture you can really see the wooden beams. Here are some after pictures with the bricks:

I feel like it adds character to the house and makes me excited to plant flowers in the spring!

This photo captures our porch swing that we love to sit out on and enjoy the weather!

We waited until the fall for this project because all of the bricks were on clearance. 

 

And finally, a cool picture of the bricks at night with the lights we bought this summer as well. Check back soon for another booth update!
