the garage door

Let's talk about the exterior. Our fence is complete (I'll have to share the bamboo and planter later). And now we've quickly moved onto something HUGE. Let me start by saying in our neighborhood, probably about 99% of the houses have a driveway as the front yard. Which means the garage is kinda important to convey what your style is. We've dreamed about putting in a modern glass garage door since the day we signed the mortgage and it will finally happen in 3 - 4 weeks! So I did a little rendering of what the new garage door will look like. And up next for the exterior: the roof, tiling the back patio, installing a canopy of big string lights over the patio, painting the exterior a shade of grey, redoing pavers and rocks in the driveway and walkway.

new lighting, fence, window and house numbers

the fence: almost complete

The fence is up and stained, the vine is gone, and the base is poured for our planter. The planter is going up in the next few days and the gates need to be hung. This massive project is almost complete!
