my house before and afters

So much work has been done to our house since David bought it in November of 06. I wish I'd taken pictures of the inside before we painted and stuff. So much work is still being done so I'll update as we go.

This is one of the few pictures I have of our house before David attached the shed at the back of our carport onto the house and made it the laundry room/mudroom.

As you can see these are some befores. The first picture below is before I had done any landscaping in the front yard. Although it still isn't where I want it to be it is a little better.

I still want to paint our front door a different color besides blue. Our house is a gray/light light blue, but our roof and shutters are now black.

Front yard

I need some front yard landscaping ideas. I want to rip out the front bushes and the tree on the side (you can't really see it from the these pics) and get rid of the stump. This is a project for next year. I might just try and prune the bushes down really small and make them look more round and small. Or maybe i'll just rip them out. What else should I do? Small willow tree, ground cover? hmm.

The bushes are barberry bushes like these below.
